Excited to announce **Open Responses** docs.julep.ai/responses/quickstart – a self-hosted OpenAI’s new _Responses API_ alternative that you can customize and with **ANY** LLM model / provider and not just with OpenAI Responses API. What’s more is that this is also compatible with the agents-sdk so everything _just works!_

To try it out, just run `npx -y open-responses init` (or `uvx` ) and that’s it!

We’d love feedback from the OpenAI community on how it integrates with your pipelines (support for streaming and voice agents coming soon!). Check out docs.julep.ai/responses/quickstart, and the repo: julep-ai/open-responses. Let’s push open-source AI forward together!
