  | Response Format | Specifies 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`.<br />For more information regarding models refer to [OpenAI's Documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/assistants/createAssistant).                                                                                                                                                                                 |
  | Temperature     | What sampling temperature to use, between `0.0` and `2.0`.<br /><br />Higher values like `0.8` will make the output more random, while lower values like `0.2` will make it more focused and deterministic.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |

  | Tools           | A list of tools enabled on the assistant.<br /><br />Valid format:<br /><pre><code>\[<br />  \{<br />      "type": "code\_interpreter"<br />  },<br />  \{<br />      "type": "file\_search"<br />  }<br />]</code></pre>For more information about the `tools` parameter, visit [OpenAI API documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/assistants/createAssistant).                                                                                                       |
