koconder commented on Open-Source SDK for Automated Prompt and Agent Optimization   comet.com/site/blog/autom... · Posted by u/koconder

Comet just open-sourced the Opik Agent Optimizer SDK, a new tool designed to automate and systematize prompt/agent optimization for LLM applications. If you’re tired of manual prompt tweaking, this SDK lets you run optimizer algorithms (Bayesian, evolutionary, meta-prompt, etc.) against your own datasets, regardless of framework or model provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.).

Very interesting as CNCF also behind https://opentelemetry.io/ could make for an interesting approach.

Interested to see how the "messaging" protocols will work at this scale with use of pub/sub for agent communication (https://dapr.github.io/dapr-agents/home/principles/#5-messag...).

Notably not mentioned: Model Context Protocol https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol

100% but this is not the same thing, nor is this going to replace the agent SDK (or visa versa). Agents will always need some form of communication protocol, if we look at the world and agentic frameworks its a sea of logos and without some forms of open standards this would be hard.

I'm currently at Comet and I have personally worked on MCP implementations AND have made some contributions to Agent SDK in the form of a native integration and improvement to test suite.

- https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/pull/91

Our recent integration shipped on day 1:

I think the key to what OpenAI is pushing towards is simplicity for developers through very easy to use components. I won't comment on the strategy or pricing etc, but on first glance as a developer the simple modular approach and lack of bloat in their SDK is refreshing.

Kudos to the team and people working on the edge to innovate and think differently in an already crowded and shifting landscape.
