OpenAI API updates: steerable models, function calling, longer context, and lower prices
AI Impact Summary
OpenAI is releasing steerable API models, function calling, longer context, and price reductions. These capabilities enable apps to orchestrate external actions directly from model responses and maintain richer conversational state longer, reducing client-side logic. The combination of steerability and cost cuts may drive higher usage; teams should evaluate migrating to the new function-calling patterns and adjust prompts to exploit longer context without blowing tokens.
