Advanced Parameters

ParameterDescription
MetadataSet of key-value pairs that can be attached to an object.
Keys can be a maximum of 64 characters long and values can be a maximum of 512 characters long.
Response FormatSpecifies the format that the model must output. Compatible with GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, and all GPT-3.5 Turbo models since gpt-3.5-turbo-1106.
For more information regarding models refer to OpenAI’s Documentation.
TemperatureWhat sampling temperature to use, between 0.0 and 2.0.

Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.
Tool ResourcesA set of resources that are used by the assistant’s tools.

Valid format:
{
  “{tool1}”:{
    “file_ids”:[

    ]
  },
  “{tool2}”:{
    “file_ids”:[
