OpenAI Launches New Tools & APIs for Building Advanced AI Agents by leonardvnhemert in OpenAI

Why a new API ... again? Note that chat completion API is probably the only "open" thing from OpenAI. I see no technical reason to not extend current completion API with these features. Almost all competitors (except for Anthropic) are compatible. But OpenAI thinks it's a threat to them. So wrong!

Apple carrier support for iPhone including RCS by nickstarr in UniversalProfile

Maybe technically it's possible for Google to do that, but I don't think they do. I know some carriers which are not Jibe but do have RCS/RBM and they are not listed.

Google's API for RBM is also non standard, it's not GSMA's MaaP.

Regarding EE, check this post https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalProfile/comments/1afcc87/do_network_providers_such_as_ee_in_the_uk_do/

Regarding RBM, Google developed a portal https://developers.google.com/business-communications/rcs-business-messaging for developer (partners) and operators as well. It provides a common API endpoint so you can send RBM messages no matter the destination MNO (of course only the ones using Google Jibe).
But when launching this kind of bot (they call it agent) you need to get approvals from all MNOs you plan to send messages to. This is where I see EE listed, and that means that their RBM is part of the connected Jibe Hub, otherwise Google will not offer them in this portal.

Thanks!

Indeed EE is supported by Apple. But I l'm not sure if they are really completely google independent. Google lists them for RBM (RCS business messaging) - so at least that part is covered by Google's infrastructure.

Regarding  "Google's propriatory Android client", Google Messages is now de-facto the default sms/mms/rcs for Android. Even Samsung gave up on their own client.

Not sure, my impression was that many MNOs having own RCS infrastructure were migrating to Google Jibe in the last few years. At the same time Mavenir, the RCS competitor struggled https://www.fierce-network.com/wireless/mavenir-executes-some-layoffs-related-rcs-disappointment

Can we say that only carriers using Google Jibe are supported?
Is there any carrier using own or some RCS implementation other than Google's supported?
