Assistants API support

[stursby]

First off... thanks for the amazing library!

I'm wondering if there's plans to support "Assistants"... for example, the OpenAI Assistants API.

I've been testing it out on project using the OpenAI PHP for Laravel package, which talks to the Open AI PHP client under the hood, which allows me to create an Assistant which I can then add the file_search "tool" so the AI Assistant has extra context when aswering questions.

Maybe it's just an Open AI feature at this point, but would be cool to be able to use something like this across multiple providers/models.

Since its rather specific to OpenAI I don't, currently, have plans to support it. I don't know if its absolutely off the table in the future though.

Fair enough!

With the new Mistral Agents api, maybe this is becoming more interesting? Would love to have this feature personally.

Any news about offering support for 'Assistants'? I need to work with a knowledge base where the AI responds to the customer according to the provided files.

They have now added this to the top of the assistant docs:

"Based on your feedback from the Assistants API beta, we've incorporated key improvements into the Responses API. After we achieve full feature parity, we will announce a deprecation plan later this year, with a target sunset date in the first half of 2026."

So it sounds like the Responses API will soon be able to do the same things (and we have just moved to, helpfully!)
