Hello, I am making and testing an assistant, and part of that is training the assistant in a thread. Will the assistant remember the instructions in the thread, and how do i save old threads.
Thanks!

In Assistants, threads are a server-side record of a conversation, that you reference by ID number when you make calls. You place a new message into a thread, then “run”, and the assistant puts it response into the thread.
Threads persist for up to 60 days with inactivity.
Threads are not assigned to a particular assistant, you choose which assistant ID to use each time you run.
You will need your own client record-keeping to keep track of thread conversation IDs and who made them, so that they can be rejoined later and re-displayed.
Documentation on the left of the forum, and then the sidebar with “assistants” will guide you to the multi-step process for using Assistants.
In my opinion, Assistants both takes more time investment in learning and developing your own framework than Chat Completions (despite in the latter your own chat history database must keep messages, instead of keeping track of what is expected on the remote server), so it is not a novice platform to code, and you quickly find its limitations, so it is not an expert platform either.
