Codex drops the provider gate on tool namespaces, openai-python ships 3.24.0

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenAI · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Codex removed a provider capability check that gated tool namespaces and bundled rollout attachments into a single gzip tar, while openai-python 3.24.0 added custom voice creation and agent session events.

Remove the provider capability gate for tool namespaces (#50447) openai/codex

by pakrym-oai

`namespace_tools` is gone from `ProviderCapabilities` and `namespaceTools` from `ModelProviderCapabilitiesReadResponse`, so tool namespaces and configured collaboration tool namespaces are now preserved without a provider capability check and updated generated schemas and SDK types no longer carry the fields. Tool search moves under `supports_search_tool`, and Responses Lite requests always use...

Require GovCloud guidance acknowledgment after Bedrock setup (#50510) openai/codex

by jackz

When a successful Amazon Bedrock setup detects AWS GovCloud, onboarding now displays application configuration and security guidance with a terminal hyperlink and requires an explicit Enter press before continuing. Non-GovCloud configurations, failed checks, and checks that exit early continue without the warning, and short panes stay scrollable while the acknowledgment remains visible.

Invalid or duplicate archive filenames are skipped and archiving failures fall back to individual rollout attachments; `rollout_archive_filename` in the report thread index maps roll...

by openai-sdks[bot]

The 3.24.0 release adds custom voice creation and agent session events, and fixes Python request routing field priority. Users of the routing fields should pull 3.24.0 to pick up the ordering fix.

feat(lib): export type_to_response_format_param publicly (#2993) openai/openai-python

by Andrew Barnes

`type_to_response_format_param` is now exported from `openai.lib`, so it no longer has to be imported from the internal `openai.lib._parsing._completions` path. Also in this batch: rollout persistence metrics now record original and persisted item sizes in `codex.rollout.persistence.item_bytes_v2` with positive reductions in `codex.rollout.persistence.bytes_removed`, and Codex's paused-time cod...
