The Assistant API is being deprecated. Migrate to the Responses API as an alternative. The Responses API includes multiple built-in tools and supports multi-turn context management.
Assistant API supports the following tools:
-
Official plugins:
-
Python code interpreter: Writes and executes Python code for batch processing of files and data.
-
Text-to-image tool: Generates images from text descriptions.
-
Quark Search: Retrieves the latest information from the Internet.
-
Calculator: Performs precise math calculations.
-
-
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): Similar to applications in Model Studio, the agent supports RAG to retrieve external knowledge.
-
Function calling: Similar to applications in Model Studio, the agent supports function calling. When you create an agent, you can describe your business functions. The agent then intelligently returns the name of the function to call and its parameters.
