Hello Everyone

I tried the new Openai assistants api in python. It seems to run without problems, i doesn’t return a answer tho. What i found particularly wiers is that it sometimes work in debug mode or as a .ipynb file. Can somebody help me, so i can get a riliable return. Thank you.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key=“Key”)

def get_prompt(question):

assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
    name="Math tutor",
    instructions="I am a math tutor. I can help you with your math homework.",
    tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}],
    model = "gpt-4-1106-preview"
)

thread = client.beta.threads.create()
print(thread)

message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
    thread_id=thread.id,
    role = "user",
    content = question
)
print(message)

run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
    thread_id=thread.id,
    assistant_id=assistant.id,
)

run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
    thread_id=thread.id,
    run_id=run.id,
)

messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
    thread_id=thread.id,
)

for message in reversed(messages.data):
    print(message.role + ": " + message.content[0].text.value)

answer = get_prompt(“What is the best time to visit Paris?”)
print(answer)

give this a try

from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize the OpenAI client with your API key
client = OpenAI(api_key="Your_API_Key")

def get_prompt(question):
    try:
        # Create an assistant
        assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
            name="Math tutor",
            instructions="I am a math tutor. I can help you with your math homework.",
            tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}],
            model="gpt-4-1106-preview"
        )

        # Create a new thread
        thread = client.beta.threads.create()

        # Send the question to the thread
        client.beta.threads.messages.create(
            thread_id=thread.id,
            role="user",
            content=question
        )

        # Execute the thread
        run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
            thread_id=thread.id,
            assistant_id=assistant.id,
        )

        # Retrieve the run result
        run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
            thread_id=thread.id,
            run_id=run.id,
        )

        # Get the last message from the thread which is assumed to be the answer
        messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
            thread_id=thread.id
        )

        last_message = messages.data[0]
        response = last_message.content[0].text.value

        print(response)
        return response

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
        return None

# Example usage of the get_prompt function
answer = get_prompt("What is the best time to visit Paris?")
print (answer)

Note: you should not be creating a new thread every time unless that is your intention.

Thank you very much for your help. I tried the code and it seems to work except for the fact the object run has no attribute output. Is there an alternative?

An error occurred: ‘Run’ object has no attribute ‘output’
None

Sorry about that, I’ve updated the original code, ChatGPT let me down!

Hello, no worries… I have tried your updated code. It seems to work well, the answer message however is the question itself which I find weird. I assume ChatGPT has a problem or do you have a different explanation?

user: What is the best time to visit Paris?
What is the best time to visit Paris?

Thank you very much for your continuous help.

Try adding a wait in there, the run command is asynchronous so need to wait for the AI to process the input

import time

def wait_on_run(run, thread):
    while run.status == "queued" or run.status == "in_progress":
        run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
            thread_id=thread.id,
            run_id=run.id,
        )
        time.sleep(0.5)
    return run
