OpenAI Python SDK 3.36.0 adds Vertex AI support

News LLM Inference Infrastructure

  • Version 3.36.0 lets Python SDK users call the Responses API with Vertex AI.
  • The SDK adds cache-write usage counts measured over a 30-minute window.
  • The API now exposes identifiers for compaction triggers.
  • The release adds controls for managing consent around custom voices.
  • WebSocket changes address setup cleanup, interrupted recovery, and handling of native options.

Our take

Teams already using the OpenAI Python SDK gain a Vertex AI deployment path for the Responses API. The release notes do not describe endpoint configuration or feature coverage, so teams should verify compatibility before moving workloads.
