Assistants API is very unstable

API
1

I’ve been using the assistants API for the past few days to automate certain processes in interaction with the customer. I understand that responses from the OpenAI API aren’t 100% stable, but with assistants it seems extremely hit or miss. I’d say 1 out of 20 messages times out or produces error. That’s not even close to the stability I need to build actual products.

Is this your overall experience as well?

What kind of errors are you getting? I agree that 19/20 succession isn’t suitable, but this is not common.

Mostly timeouts. I’m on the latest gpt-4o and I’m not even using file search or code interpreter.

Lately I’m getting a lot of timeouts and also runs that got stuck in cancelling state and then they lock the thread…
