⬤ OpenAI released Agents SDK 0.2.24. The update improves AIChatAgent and the Model Context Protocol. It adds resumable streaming - an agent session continues after a page refresh, a dropped connection or a switch between tabs or devices. The release also tightens API behavior plus widens validation tools to give more predictable results across the SDK. As AI systems gain complexity, developers weave agent workflows into more advanced applications.
⬤ Resumable streaming is the headline feature - output keeps flowing when the network or browser fails. The update ships cleaner, better structured MCP APIs that are easier to read and to steer. Registration workflows, connection setup, reconnection but also event-stream reliability all improve. Faster discovery with full lifecycle transitions raises responsiveness - new cancellation and error-handling logic gives developers tighter control over multi server setups.
⬤ The release repairs multiple reliability flaws that earlier disrupted scheduling as well as long-running tasks. Schedule execution timing is now correct - tasks that run longer than 30 seconds stabilize - session-ID handling improves - server sent events behave more reliably. Those fixes cut inconsistencies in long duration workflows and make the SDK sturdier for production settings where agent sessions stay alive for hours or days.
⬤ Stronger streaming continuity, smoother MCP workflows or focused bug fixes give the 0.2.24 update a firmer base for building scalable, persistent AI applications. As demand rises for reliable agent driven systems, such improvements set wider expectations across the AI development landscape and guide teams as they design next generation workflows.
