The new OpenAI AI agent, codenamed «Operator», will be able to use a computer and perform actions on behalf of its owner (for example, writing code or booking tickets).
How reports Bloomberg, OpenAI management announced at a meeting with staff that the agent will be launched in January in preview and through the company’s developer program interface.
We would like to remind you that similar agents have already released Anthropic and Microsoft, as well as Google is preparing a similar tool.
A few weeks ago, during a series of questions on Reddit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI will present «all the best» models, but added that he thinks «the next giant breakthrough will be» agents.
«I think 2025 will be the year when agent-based systems finally become mainstream», — OpenAI Chief Product Officer Kevin Vail said at the OpenAI press conference last month.
We would like to remind you that in October, OpenAI added to ChatGPT the ability to search the Internet — the chatbot now provideslinks to web sources in their answers. As for GPT-5, it seems that we should not expect a new model in the near future.
