OpenAI Watch posted an update
OpenAI’s identity partner Ory says its authentication systems are built to handle the demands of the company’s services, including AI agents that can trigger many checks and tool calls for a single user request. The New Stack’s article describes OpenAI’s use of Ory and explains why agent workloads can make identity checks a distributed-systems problem, not merely a login-page chore.
Why it mattersIt offers useful infrastructure context, but not performance figures or a detailed account of OpenAI’s deployment. For operators building agents, the practical takeaway is to account for identity and permissions at every step, not just the first click.
Discuss: When an AI agent makes many calls on a user’s behalf, should identity checks happen at every step, or can that add too much friction?
