AT A GLANCE
MiniMax has reportedly open-sourced OpenAgentCore, which supports self-hosting and is compatible with the OpenAI Agents API.
Article
MiniMax has made OpenAI's new Agents API Agents API open source, and both Codex and Claude Code can connect.
Beating AI breaking news: MiniMax has open-sourced OpenAgents Agent Core, creating a self-hosted implementation compatible with OpenAI Agents API AI Agent s API. Developers can continue using the official OpenAI SDK SDK and only need to change the API API address. The Agent Agent running in the background can be Codex, Claude Code, or MiniMax Code.Agents API can be understood as a unified interface for invoking AI Agent Agent. Ordinary model API API is mainly responsible for one-question-one-answer interactions. AI Agent Agent must work continuously for several hours or even days, while also managing context, invoking tools, coordinating sub-Agent Agent, and saving task progress. OpenAI's Agents API Agents API consolidates these capabilities in a long-running Session Session.
The official OpenAI version uses OpenAI-hosted Codex execution infrastructure. Developers can choose where their code runs, but the Agents API Agent's task orchestration, context management, and runtime state are still handled by OpenAI. OpenAgents Agent Core instead lets developers deploy this backend themselves.

Key points
01
Beating AI breaking news reports that MiniMax has open-sourced Open Agent Core。
02
The original article states that OpenAgents Agent Core is a self-hosted implementation compatible with OpenAI Agents API AI Agent s API.
03
The original text states that developers can continue using the official OpenAI SDK and need only replace the API endpoint address.
04
The original text states that the background-running Agent can choose Codex, Claude Code, or MiniMax Code.
05
The original text states that OpenAI is responsible for task orchestration, context management, and runtime state in its official version, whereas OpenAgentCore allows developers to self-host this backend.
AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The Agents API is described in the text as a unified interface for invoking Agents, used to manage long-running Sessions, context, tool calls, sub-Agent coordination, and task progress. The primary claim of OpenAgentCore is to maintain compatibility with the OpenAI Agents API usage pattern while allowing developers to deploy the backend themselves and select the backend Agents listed in the text.
Why it matters to readers
If the description in the text is accurate, developers can continue using the official OpenAI SDK while independently controlling the deployment location of the Agent backend and selecting the backend Agent from Codex, Claude Code, and MiniMax Code.
For beginners, the key point is that it attempts to reduce the effort involved in switching Agent backend integrations: the text says that only the API address needs to be replaced. However, the material provides no installation steps or actual compatibility tests, so deployment difficulty cannot currently be determined on this basis.
Risks and unknowns
The provided material does not include the official Open Agent Core code repository, license, or official MiniMax announcement.
It cannot be confirmed from the materials that OpenAgentCore is publicly available.
The actual scope of compatibility with the OpenAI Agents API cannot be confirmed.
The specific integration methods and runtime stability of Codex, Claude Code, and MiniMax Code cannot be confirmed.
