Am I missing something here ?
I can create an o3-mini assistant, attach a vector store but I cannot activate file_search ?
What is the point of having o3-mini in the assistants API if I can’t activate file_search ?
Hey,
I don’t think being able to attach a vector store means that file search is available for the model.
The behavior of o3-mini in the assistants API is the same in the chatgpt.com web UI.
+1 I dont understand that either.
@nikunj - can you comment? thanks!
Yes, tools (of which file_search is one) are not available on mini-o3.
Yeah be great if you could, im using gpt4o-mini with assistant and file_search, wanted to try the new o3-mini
Not sure if its never going to be available, or just not ready yet
The error message returned by the API seems pretty deliberate (although listing old models):
Error code: 400 - {'error': {'message': "The requested model 'o3-mini' cannot be used with the 'file_search' tool. Consider using 'gpt-4-turbo-preview', 'gpt-3.5-turbo', or a later model.", 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': 'model', 'code': 'unsupported_model'}}
Currently, the model has issues with reliable function calling when a long context of turns is placed, so that may be why it is temporarily unavailable.
Otherwise, a model that supports tools->function->namespace should also support sending tools->file_search
What I’d like to see added to Assistants, given the current poor performance:
parameter
file_search_developer_instructions
- Allows you to completely replace the existing instructions given to the AI model about how to use file_search (or myfiles_browser on some models).
*Important: You must understand and start from these default instructions used by OpenAI, making just the modifications to suit your application and inform of the knowledge behind a file search. {default_instructions}

Wohoo !
Thanks a lot ! Does it also support Code Interpreter ?
And also, is there any official announcement about this ?
And while you’re there, what’s coming next for Assistants mode ? Web search ? More options for RAG ? Multiple vector stores support ?
Awesome! It would be great if this could be looked into asap too, it’s horrendous atm. 1 min+ for assistant API to answer
nice! thanks for letting us know
Yes, team is working on it as we speak — adding more capacity to help speed things up. (Looks like there’s been a lot more usage recently!)
Thanks Edwin, appreciate it! Do you have any time estimates for this?
Thanks Edwin! What are the odds of this being available in Azure’s Agents/Assistants soon?
