Is this how I'm supposed to do it? # Upload a file with an "assistants" purpose file = client.files.create( file=open("example.pdf", "rb"), purpose='assistants' ) # Create an assistant using the file ID assistant = client.beta.assistants.create( instructions="You are a personal math tutor. When asked a math question, write and run code to answer the question.", model="gpt-4-1106-preview", tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}], file_ids=[file.id] ) There is an upload endpoint as well, but it seems the intent of those endpoints are for fine-tuning and assistants. I think the RAG use case is a normal one and not necessarily related to assistants. Continue reading...
