In-Depth Technical Analysis

Background

v3.22.0 gives beta.agents first-class computer-use types: tools, screenshots, browser auth / origin-access approvals, and desktop environment templates—so you are not hand-rolling Responses computer payloads.

What shipped

v3.22.0 via #3989. Twin: openai-node v7.25.0.

Benchmarks

No OSWorld scores in the SDK notes. Measure approval/screenshot latency on your sites; model choice (e.g. gpt-6.1-sol) still sets capability.
