Any way to duplicate a Thread?

Nope. No duplicating or snapshot. No branching. No editing. No retrying. No re-creating. No ability to place assistant replies in a new thread. No ability to get unseen tool messages. No limiting or expiring. No obsoleting uploaded attached files. No observing what the AI is sending.

Assistants come with a mantra that as an application developer, you are not to be trusted with an AI.

Chat Completions can be turned into code interpreter, just by putting hand-specified tools before the API’s injection of the dummy function you wrote. Then doing stuff with the output. And rejecting OpenAI’s “tools” and using functions.
