The newest generation of agents[0] aren't implemented this way; the model itself is trained to make decisions and a plan of action rather than an explicitly programmed workflow tree.

I think you’re referring to function calling: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling

This still returns a string. You need to explicitly program the branch to the right function. For example, check out how OpenAI Agents, released a week ago, rely on a workflow: https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/48ff99bb...

No I'm referring to the newest generation of agentic models one of which I linked to. These are not fully released but it is where the newest generation of research is headed.
It's hard for me to comment on something not open sourced
That remains to be seen. Manus, a standard agent built with Claude 3.7, outperforms o3 agentic model on the GAIA benchmark.
Operator/Computer Use is a bridge until we no longer need any tools at all
What gives you any confidence in that transition happening in the best future?
