OpenAI's latest npm update (v7.44.0) hints at new file search chunking options, a new 'ranker' parameter, and confirms existing features like JSON mode and various tool types.
READY TO POST:
openai's new npm update seems to include 'chunk_overlap_tokens' and 'chunk_size_tokens' for file search. might give us more control over how their models process documents?
a new 'ranker' parameter with 'default_2024_08_21' was spotted in the openai npm package. could be a new default ranking algorithm for their models or tools.
