I’m strictly following the file upload API example for `assistants` but not getting expected result. It would be appreciated if the ETA for `assistants` to be allowed to file upload API.

```auto
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/files \
  -H 'OpenAI-Beta: assistants=v1' -H "Authorization: Bearer [REDACTED]" \
  -F purpose="assistants" \
  -F file="@[REDACTED]"
{
  "error": {
    "message": "'assistants' is not one of ['fine-tune'] - 'purpose'",
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": null
  }
}

```

As of 2023-11-07 07:21 AM (KST), it seems the API is now working as expected. Thanks!
