Execution Methods

Demonstrates the three execution methods available in the OpenAI Agents SDK: sync, async, and streaming.

🎯 What This Demonstrates

• Runner.run(): Asynchronous execution for non-blocking operations
• Runner.run_sync(): Synchronous execution for simple blocking calls
• Runner.run_streamed(): Streaming execution for real-time responses
• Performance Comparison: When to use each method

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install OpenAI Agents SDK:

   pip install openai-agents
   

2. Set up environment:

   cp ../env.example .env
   # Edit .env and add your OpenAI API key
   

3. Run the agent:

   from agents import Runner
   from agent import root_agent
   
   # Test sync execution
   result = root_agent.sync_execution_example()
   print(result)
   

💡 Key Concepts

• Sync Execution: Blocks until completion, simple to use
• Async Execution: Non-blocking, enables concurrency
• Streaming Execution: Real-time response processing
• Use Case Selection: Choose based on application needs
