OpenAI has JUST released their Agents SDK, a production ready upgrade of Swarm that makes it a walk in the park to develop AI agents and connect them together to build agentic systems.
In this video we’ll explore the OpenAI Agents SDK together, build some powerful agents with it, and see if this is worth using compared to other framework options like Pydantic AI and LangGraph. Is it really production ready and not riddled with abstractions as they claim?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stop blindly trusting AI IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf – it’s WAY too important to test your code and Qodo can help you with that on top of being a very powerful AI coding assistant. Download Qodo for free:
Don’t get me wrong, AI IDEs are fantastic, you just need to make sure you’re properly validating the code too!
