OpenAI's latest SDK update introduces 'ranker' parameter for Assistants, adds new 'code_interpreter' and 'file_search' tool types with detailed file search configurations like chunking and overlap, and clarifies JSON mode usage.
READY TO POST:
openai just dropped 7.17.0 for their npm sdk, hinting at a new 'ranker' param for assistants and more granular control over file search tools, including chunking tokens. interesting for RAG!
new openai sdk update (7.17.0) seems to confirm explicit 'code_interpreter' and 'file_search' tool types. also, heads up for json mode users: you still need to tell the model to output json.
