OpenAI Agents SDK Simplifies Python Agent Building With 14-GPU Tool Demo

Summary
OpenAI’s latest tutorial shows how to build a Python research agent with the Agents SDK, combining web search, custom tools, persistent memory and tracing in one workflow.
The SDK’s Runner handles the multi-step loop automatically—sending requests to the model, executing tools when needed, and returning a final answer without developers wiring their own tool-calling logic.
A sample agent uses WebSearchTool to fetch current information, including identifying Python 3.14.7 as the latest stable release and Python 3.15 as scheduled for October 1, 2026.
A second example adds a custom Python function that calculates 14 GPUs at $2.49 per hour each, producing a $34.86 hourly total while auto-generating the tool schema from type hints and docstrings.
SQLite-backed sessions preserve conversation history across runs, while default tracing in the OpenAI dashboard lets developers inspect model calls, tool use and handoffs as workflows grow more complex.
