Responses API: WebSockets & Caching Improve Agentic Workflow Latency

AI Impact Summary

The Responses API update leverages WebSockets for real-time communication, significantly reducing latency by eliminating the traditional request-response cycle. Connection-scoped caching further optimizes performance by storing frequently accessed data directly within the agent's context. This architectural shift dramatically improves the speed and efficiency of agentic workflows, particularly for interactive applications.
