OpenAgents: An Open Platform for Language Agents in the Wild

Tianbao Xie (HKU), Fan Zhou (HKU)

Abstract

We present OpenAgents, an open platform for deploying and evaluating language agents in real-world settings. OpenAgents includes three agents: a data analysis agent, a plugin agent, and a web agent.

How this paper contributes to solving the Zone III problem (PASF-PADE)

OpenAgents provides rare insights into real-world agent deployment challenges. The production failure modes documented here are essential reading for Zone III enterprise architects.

Why AI is not sufficient for Zone III without this

Zone III refers to high-complexity, high-risk, long-running agentic workflows — the class of enterprise AI deployments where a single failure can cascade across hundreds of steps. Standard AI models, trained to predict the next token, are not inherently designed for durable, governed, multi-step execution. This paper addresses one or more of the structural gaps that make Zone III deployments unsafe without explicit architectural intervention.
