OpenAI updated the Assistants API to V2 with changes to the tools and files. Refer the Migration steps here

Known issues: The attached files of an existing Assistants are not loading in the UI but its available on the OpenAI platform. Migrating to V2 will resolve this issue.

Any plan on this migration?

Will this enhancement planned for v0.7.3 milestone completion allow for > 20 files?

yes I think it's possible through vector stores

Due to several undocumented, breaking and non-breaking changes, as well as gpt-4o support being exclusive to v2, this is a priority item for this week.

Just a quick preview of what will be possible with Assistants V2 (also using gpt-4o):

I've made a lot of progress, and the initial support is almost done but not quite ready.

Azure integration breaks with the latest openai SDK versions, so I need to write old v1 methods for Azure file handling. Because of the differences with Azure, even later on, I've decided to make Azure Assistants its own endpoint, and there are also a few things to touch on to complete that process.

The way file attachments now work for tool resources is not fully complete for Code Interpreter, but is nearly done (just need to handle deleting from its tool_resources)

This is saying nothing of the new File Search vector store handling. This needs a completely new UI and file management system, which I've already started earlier this week.

My goal is to release the initial support tomorrow, with the ability to use all v2 features including file search, but no way manage/attach vector stores for file search yet, other than attaching files at the thread level.

I've addressed a lot of fixes for Assistants in the process, so I'm excited to get this out soon!

@danny-avila thanks so much for your work on this. I saw that Azure OpenAI announced support for assistants v2 today.

Passing this on in case it would (hopefully) be a comparatively easy task to add Azure support.

Cool! i'll see if it's as easy as flipping a switch at this point

Right now, I'm able to get v2 working which enables streaming for Azure Assistants, but it is really unreliable with files, even in playground. For anyone that wants to try: #2820

Has anyone gotten gpt-4o working with Assistants in Librechat yet?

Has anyone gotten gpt-4o working with Assistants in Librechat yet?

Yup. On the latest build, it's fully functional:

Sorry to keep troubling on this issue, I can't get it to work. I updated my assistant on OpenAI to be gpt-4o, and in my librechat.yaml file, and then when I rebuild I get the error below. I am using Docker, but I think there might be an update issue to the latest Librechat, but I'm not sure how to update/get the latest build? Thanks for any help

I think you have a merge conflict while trying to update. Send an email to danny@librechat.ai and we can setup a time to troubleshoot live.
