What happened
OpenAI expanded its Academy with role-based learning paths including 'Apply AI at Work' for knowledge workers, 'Build with AI' for developers using Codex or the OpenAI API, and a leadership track. The developer path covers solution design, evaluations, agents, retrieval, and operating AI systems in production, with assessments that earn an OpenAI Academy badge.
Why it matters
If you're building on the OpenAI API or using Codex, the 'Build with AI' path is a free structured curriculum covering evaluations, agents, and production operations—worth skimming to see if it fills gaps in your team's onboarding. Otherwise this is a vendor training announcement with no pricing, no independent evaluation, and no requirement to change anything.
Discussion angle
Is vendor-provided curriculum like this useful for team onboarding, or does it lock you into one provider's mental model of how agents and evaluations should work?
