The OpenAI SDK v7.19.0 includes updates for file search tool controls like chunking and overlap, a new ranker 'default_2024_08_21', and clearer documentation around JSON mode.
READY TO POST:
openai's latest sdk update hints at more granular control over file search chunking and overlap. could mean better RAG performance!
a new 'default_2024_08_21' ranker is showing up in the openai sdk. curious to see what improvements that brings for search.
