OpenAI Agents Python framework praised for handoffs, tracing, but faces model lock-in

OpenAI's new Agents Python framework, released in 2025, offers a lightweight solution for multi-agent workflows with a strong emphasis on its automatic handoff system and integrated tracing within the OpenAI dashboard.
