"Failed to create file operation" -- 500 error (Assistant's API) Tier 5

API Bugs

So then it sounds like a workaround right now is to

  1. Upload the file to OpenAI.
  2. Check if the thread has a vectore store via it’s tool_resources
  3. If there is one, manually upload the file id via vector store batch operation.
  4. If not, create a new vector store, add the file to it and attach that to the thread.
  5. Run your message like before.

This is quite the amount of work…OpenAI should let us know if we all need to make these changes. I’ll be adding this to our system and reporting back on the results.
