OpenAI's new Agents API is a hosted Codex runtime that can connect to sandboxes like E2B.
@OpenAI manages the model, harness, and agent sessions, while code executes on an isolated
@e2b machine with its own filesystem and preinstalled tools.
We built an agent workbench where each chat runs on its own machine. It starts from a custom template, auto-pauses between turns, forks to try another approach from the same starting point, and can even act on videos inside the sandbox.
Thanks

Try it: e2b sbx create openai-agents-api-python-sdk
