OpenAI's 7.21.0 npm update adds new file search tool overrides, chunking options, and a new ranker option for Assistants.
READY TO POST:
openai just dropped npm v7.21.0 with some interesting additions! looks like more granular control over file search, chunking options for retrieval, and a new ranker.
devs, check out the new openai npm update! saw 'file_search' overrides, 'chunk_overlap_tokens', and a 'ranker' option 'default_2024_08_21'. could mean better RAG and search capabilities.
