OpenAI’s vision: agents as the next breakthrough

The anticipation surrounding AI agents has been building within OpenAI.

During a recent Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session, CEO Sam Altman hinted at this development, stating, “we will have better and better models,” but “I think the thing that will feel like the next giant breakthrough will be agents.”

This sentiment was echoed by chief product officer Kevin Weil at a press event preceding OpenAI’s Dev Day last month.

“I think 2025 is going to be the year that agentic systems finally hit the mainstream,” Weil predicted.

The pressure to monetize: AI agents as the next big product

The development of AI agents is driven not only by technological ambition but also by economic realities.

Leading AI labs face mounting pressure to monetize their resource-intensive models, especially as incremental improvements might not justify price hikes for users.

The hope is that autonomous agents, with their potential to transform human-computer interaction, will become the next ChatGPT-scale success story, validating the enormous investments in AI research and development.
