Discovered via YouTube: "Building AI agents from scratch using the OpenAI Agent SDK and Modal." (Modal) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHIyOQ17sxo The tutorial demonstrates how to instantiate, chain, and deploy OpenAI agents on Modal's serverless infrastructure, enabling rapid prototyping of multi-step reasoning and task execution. It showcases the library's plugin interface, dynamic resource allocation, and integration with Modal's persistent storage, offering a new, efficient path for building scalable agentic systems.
