Or am I misreading the API documentation? I suspect I’m not, because older posts seem to indicate this, but I suppose I’m posting this here in case there’s been a feature release that I somehow could not find.
"A vector database that cannot set or save metadata on each file is indeed less versatile and potentially less useful compared to those that do support metadata. Metadata is crucial for context, filtering, and retrieval of vectors, especially in large-scale applications. " - My friend ChatGPT on the topic
Note: you can add metadata to a vector store object, but not the files themselves.
I’m not entirely sure what’s the utility of this metadata key is though (because, honestly I’ve not used it myself) but I imagine you could include information about the files in the vector store in the vector store metadata.
To my knowledge this is not possible. In the docs they say they plan on adding a feature for deterministic pre-search filtering using metadata in the coming months…
Hi everyone,
I’m currently exploring the OpenAI API for a project, and I was wondering if there are any updates or plans regarding the availability of a file metadata feature. Specifically, a capability to upload or manage files with associated metadata would be incredibly useful for organizing and accessing file-related information programmatically.
Does anyone know if this feature is on the roadmap, or has there been any mention of its potential release? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
