We need O1 Assistant API. We need a roadmap. We need to know status of bugs. Thx

for ex:
O1 Assistant API?
The “source” info (broken for many months)…
Hard to work when we have no support from OpenAI and no roadmap…

It does seem like the Assistants API isn’t getting a lot of love. I say this after just watching day 10 of 12 days of OpenAI.

Assistants API is crucial to a couple of products I’m working with. I would love to see a roadmap here and if there’s a timeline for reasoning models with the API.

Hmmm … not that crucial … if a little push came to shove you could easily convert the project to use completions, surely?!

I really need access to o1 through the Assistants API!!!

I used to do everything through Completions, but there’s just something about the way Assistants APIs track the conversation and folds in with tool calling that is just unparalleled.

I can spend more time integrating my domain expertise to improve the overall experience rather than spending it managing conversations, retrieval etc

Glad it’s working for you Jim.

I built my surprisingly capable local chain of thought algorithm back when we had v1 of the assistant which used to run away with your money. I already have full control over everything I need using Completions, so haven’t had to consider the Assistant API since. It’s also not so useful when you already maintain local memory for all historical messages in any case. I don’t want to be maintaining that in two places.

I can see where it might be useful and provide a lightweight solution and v2 is definitely a big improvement, having addressed a lot of the issues of v1.

I’m sorry, what? If push came to shove we’d move to a different product. The point of the Assistants API for us is making vector storage / file search easy. If we were only using the Assistants API for chat completions, then we’d only use chat completions.

And the point about Completions is you aren’t so tied to OpenAI, can store all your data on your own server and have fine control over conversation flow so you keep token use down. Not sure it’s that controversial a suggestion as you make it sound :slight_smile:

Horses for courses.

Definitely need O1 on the Assistants API. There’s absolutely no comparison between what I can do on the Assistants API and Chat Completions.

I’m confused why we’re even talking about this. I’m asking about a model in a product that we rely on. “Do something different,” isn’t what we need here. But appreciate it.

o3 Assistant API is here, great :smiley:! But no file search ?!?
Is this a misunderstanding, any reason?
Without file search, the assistant API is not very useful.
