We are receiving some responses from the api with finish_reason of “stop” when the model is calling a function. Has anyone else experienced this? [image]

This is covered in the function calling docs : By default, the model is configured to automatically select which functions to call, as determined by the tool_choice: “auto” setting. We offer three ways to customize the default behavior: To force the model to always call one or more functions, yo…

Nope, over and over a finish reason: "choices": [ { "index": 0, "message": { "role": "assistant", "content": null, "function_call": { "name": "submit_iso_datetime", "arguments": "{\n \"iso8601_datetime\": \"2023-02-06T16:33:00Z\"\n}" …

Hi, Can you post a copy of the prompt that produced this finish reason?

I can corroborate this. Just happened to me several times with gpt 3.5 and gpt-4o. One piece of important information, it seems to happen when you say a tool choice is required, ie: "tool_choice" : "required" That’s really not good though. In that circumstance it should still have a ‘tool_calls…

Exact same issue with me. Seems to be a recent regression - I don’t have proof but IIRC I could get finish_reason=tool_calls even with tool_choice=required a few days ago [EDIT: apparently not]. At any rate, reverting to tool_choice=auto isn’t a good fix either (for me) - the model often ends up not…

What is the latest on this, is it fixed?

Agree. I meant that in both the cases where function call required or forced the response is certainly going to be function call.

This is not helpful, did you even read the Topic and understand the issue, or just copy and paste from ChatGPT? text-davinci-003 is even deprecated!

Definitely started happening this week, after months of working fine. I call the API like this: const params: OpenAI.Chat.ChatCompletionCreateParams = { model: "gpt-4-turbo-preview", messages: [ { role: "user", content: text, …

@brianz-oai another couple of reports of New API feature: forcing function calling via `tool_choice: "required"` - #13 by brianz-oai

FYI I definitely would be happy to update my code to get rid of this cludge!
