Assistants API - 4.1 family doesn't run the vector search function

[ssavanovic28]

Title says it all, none of the 4.1 family models are accessing the retrieval tool within assistants. Is this a planned integration, or should I remove the assistant out of the equation and just run 4.1 with the search running manually?

Thanks

I confirm that 4.1 does not use “File Search” under any settings or instructions in the “System instructions”

I’m seeing the same behavior, basically makes 4.1 not usable for me.

Same issue. Great answers, but just based on what you include right in the context. Maybe they expect to use without File Search/RAG and put your Data Source in Context. But of course, it consumes much more tokens… not a way for me.
