OpenAI's 3.16.2 update includes a new model ID 'gpt-4o-2024-08-06', potential 'realtime' and 'responses' beta features, and updates to JSON mode and streaming APIs.
READY TO POST:
looks like openai just dropped 3.16.2 of their python client, spotting a new model id 'gpt-4o-2024-08-06' in the wild. could be a new gpt-4o variant coming!
openai's latest client update hints at 'realtime' and 'responses' beta features, plus improved json mode guidance and streaming api changes. interesting stuff for building with openai.
