Multiple function detection in the GPT API

I answered almost exactly this question just a few days ago.
Is this a school assignment or something?
No, wait … I answered it for you.

Executing multiple GPT functions in a single prompt

The API itself cannot do this. There’s only a single function invocation in each of the choices – there’s no way to return more than one invocation. What you can do, though, is break this into multiple sections. Have the first section in fer how many separate requests there are, and then separately invoke the model for each of the sections: What are the individual commands in the follwing text? Respond with a brief bulleted markdown list: Open Spotify for me and play the song XYZ * Open Spoti…

The answer is still the same. ChatGPT can only call one function at a time.
If you look at the API, there is literally no way it could call more than one function in a single invocation. There’s no space to return them.

In the previous answer, I described exactly how you could use chain of thought prompting to implement exactly what you’re suggesting.
