What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
The headline visual product is already on a deprecation clock with unpredictable usage-based pricing and a large prompt-injection blast radius — too unstable to adopt. The underlying Agents SDK is more durable but offers no clear advantage over our existing Claude-centric stack for now.
Next
Track the post-deprecation Agents SDK + self-hosted ChatKit path; do NOT invest in Agent Builder visual flows given the Nov 30 2026 sunset. Re-evaluate the Agents SDK (open-source, the durable layer, 100+ LLMs via Chat Completions) in isolation for any OpenAI-model work.
