description: >-
  First-party OpenAI client libraries and developer tools, each confirmed
  against its public registry with the latest published version and its release
  date read from registry metadata rather than from documentation prose. Every
  core-language SDK is under active release: seven of the ten official server
  SDKs published a version within the last eight days, and the Node, Python, Go
  and Ruby clients all published within 30 hours of this read. The one abandonment
  signal in the set is `ruby-openai` (community, NOT first-party) which last shipped
  2025-08-29 and is superseded by OpenAI's own `openai` gem. Go is the one place a
  consumer can get badly stale code: the un-suffixed module path and /v2 both still
  resolve and are 13 and 11 months behind /v3 respectively.

    note: >-
      Response format library for the gpt-oss open-weight models. The Python
      wheel trails the Rust crate and the npm build (both 0.4.0); a consumer
      pinning the PyPI package is nine months behind.

    note: >-
      Apps SDK component library (buttons, cards, inputs, layout primitives that
      match the ChatGPT container). Nearly four months without a release while
      the rest of the estate ships weekly — the slowest-moving first-party
      JavaScript package OpenAI publishes.

      Superseded major version, still resolvable via proxy.golang.org. Eleven
      months stale — a consumer who omits the /v3 suffix silently gets this.

      Un-suffixed v1 module path, last tagged 2025-07-30 and thirteen months
      behind /v3. The most likely place an OpenAI consumer pins stale code.

    official: false
    note: >-
      Community gem (alexrudall), NOT an OpenAI release. Recorded because it long
      predates the official `openai` gem and still outranks it in search; it has
      not published in twelve months. Superseded by the first-party `openai` gem.

    note: >-
      search.maven.org solrsearch returns zero docs for the com.openai group even
      though repo1.maven.org serves the artifact; version read from
      repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/openai/openai-java/maven-metadata.xml and the
      publish date from central.sonatype.com. An honest note about the registry,
      not about OpenAI.
