OpenAI's SDK update 7.37.0 includes new file search tool overrides, chunking parameters, and a 'ranker' option, alongside updates to JSON mode instructions.
READY TO POST:
openai's latest sdk update hints at more granular control over file search, with chunking and overlap tokens now configurable. very interesting for r.a.g. applications!
a new 'ranker' option ('auto' | 'default_2024_08_21') popped up in the openai sdk. could this be for search result ordering or internal model ranking? keen to see what 'default_2024_08_21' means.
