OpenAI's new npm release includes strings for a new `ranker` option with a `default_2024_08_21` value, suggesting an updated ranking algorithm for file search. It also hints at new `code_interpreter` and `file_search` tool types with detailed configurations for chunking and overlap tokens.
READY TO POST:
openai's latest npm update adds a `ranker` option with a `default_2024_08_21` value, likely indicating an upcoming file search ranking algorithm update. might improve retrieval results!
diving into the new openai npm release: looks like more granular control over file search with chunking and overlap tokens, plus explicit `code_interpreter` and `file_search` tool types. pretty neat for agents.
