I’m experiencing issues with the consistency of outputs from my OpenAI assistant. I’ve created an assistant using the `4o-mini` model and set up a system prompt to analyze a PDF and summarize it. When I test this in the Playground, the output is as expected and works perfectly. However, when I run it through Make. com using the OpenAI Message Assistant module, the responses become inconsistent. Sometimes it can’t read the PDF or extract data, while other times it works perfectly. Additionally, there are instances where the output is missing some data or doesn’t include all the expected information. Has anyone encountered similar issues or have suggestions on how to improve the consistency of outputs? Any help would be greatly appreciated! ---

I’ve had the same issue as well on another platform. Very inconsistent results with 4o-mini with about 4 docx files in the knowledgebase and a system prompt. I had to switch to 4o, which helped but responses got slower.
