I got word back that it was already forwarded by a mod for attention.
It does let you consider: vector store is powered by embeddings, which can be an API embeddings model (relying on the same service still for compatible inputs) or it can be a local model that need not be high-speed.
Youād pay up front for the database embeddings, but then they are yours for semantic comparisons to new query strings.
The missing component that OpenAI gives a generic solution for: document extraction and chunking, across a variety of files that can yield text.
hello all, i have a client demo on 8th august 2025, but today i found out my tool was giving empty outputs because the files are shows as they are uploaded in vector stores, but LLM is unable to read themā¦ has anyone found any solutions to this.

Nikhil, sorry to hear that, I have been through that exact situation myself last year, I currently am now in production and have had several users file help tickets this morning with the error.
This is an issue on OpenAIās side with no work around, weāve been assured on another thread they are aware and working on.
Thereās a good chance it will be resolved before tomorrow, but impossible to know.

Ive upgraded to the latest Open AI Python vĆa pip install, though same difficulties are arising, as per previous posts. Files are uploaded, but stay in status āin_progressā when trying to attach to a vector store.
With the open ai console, the vector remains with circle status indicador, and cannot upload the file either.
It would be good to receive an error email from openai, so we know that this is not a code problem, and donāt waste time looking for solutions

Ive been working some excel files now for a month, then last friday it starting mishandling the work of these files, and even lied about it. The data was clearly wrong and it kept saying it fixed it. Now since Tuesday when I upload a file it says it never received it. This has been going on for 3 days now.
