Hi
I am using Assistants API with GPT 3.5 Turbo.
When I send a message at the start of a thread that needs file search, it does that fine and all other messages are searched if needed.
If the first message in the thread doesnt need file search, none of the other messages in the thread will be searched.
Why is this?
Greetings!
We are experiencing the same issue.
We have: an assistant (API v2) with created vector store and uploaded files.
If in a new thread, we are asking for data from the file (in a first message), we are getting it reliably.
While, if my first message is unrelated to the file search, it will refuse all future attempts to access the file, even when directly mentioning the file name and extension.
Best,
Rust
