OpenAI's latest npm update (v7.42.0) hints at a new `ranker` option with `default_2024_08_21`, along with new `code_interpreter` and `file_search` tool types, and details for managing chunking and overlap in file search.
READY TO POST:
openai's latest npm update just dropped with hints of a new `ranker` option (`default_2024_08_21`) and dedicated `code_interpreter` and `file_search` tool types. new tools incoming?
looks like openai is refining their file search capabilities. the new npm package shows options for `chunk_overlap_tokens` and `max_chunk_tokens` for file search tools. granular control for embeddings?
