OpenAI's latest npm package update (7.45.1) hints at new 'code_interpreter' and 'file_search' tool types, 'chunk_overlap_tokens' for file search, a 'ranker' option with a 'default_2024_08_21' value, and clearer JSON mode instructions.
READY TO POST:
looks like openai is baking in new tool types like `code_interpreter` and `file_search` directly into their api, plus some fine-grained control for file search chunking. exciting stuff for agents!
openai's latest npm package has a mysterious `ranker` option with a `default_2024_08_21` value. could this be a new ranking model or algorithm coming soon? also, clearer json mode instructions are a welcome detail.
