OpenAI has transitioned its internal Habitat library into a globally distributed storage platform capable of handling 22 million requests per second for over one billion ChatGPT users. The engineering overhaul addresses latency and consistency challenges inherent in serving consumer-scale AI applications. The architecture provides a blueprint for managing massive concurrent workloads in production AI systems.

AI Infrastructure • OpenAI News

OpenAI has launched the Agents API in public beta, providing developers with the underlying infrastructure that powers Codex and ChatGPT. The API enables the creation of cloud-based autonomous agents that can execute code, manage multi-step workflows, and delegate tasks to sub-agents without additional platform fees beyond standard token usage. This release lowers the barrier for building production-grade AI automation systems.
