Aa lot of criticism about the potential of vendor lockin etc, but I think this is great, especially for building proof of concepts and small projects. As they said, these are the first building blocks and they look great to me.
When gpt3.5 came out these are literally the first things I built manually. I mainly use LLMs through a telegram bot. I know there are a lot of tools and frameworks out there but I wrote a few hundred lines of hacky python to give my bot memory, web search, image analysis. It's fun and useful and I agree that these are the basic building blocks that many apps need.
Sure you can find better stuff elsewhere with less lock in and more control, but now it "just works" and this responses api is cleaner and more powerful than the chatcompletions one, so personally I'm happy to give openai credit for this, I just don't know why they couldn't have released it two years ago
