the responses API is a way for @OpenAI to lock people in. It’s trivially true that any stateful interface can become stateless if you are allowed to return an encrypted blob of data (like Anthropic does today). Gating new features behind something like this is a wedge

@thebigmehtaphor @OpenAI they managed to wrap agent loops in a neat API that handles the complexity for you i don't see a reason for why open-source can't build a responses compatible API?
