Question

Using Azure open AI Assistant throws TypeError: create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file_ids'

Anonymous

I am working on Azure notebook and while creating Azure Open AI Assistant api(source, source2) I am getting TypeError: create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file_ids', I tried the solution mentioned here even though it is not from AZURE but it gives me different error TypeError: Assistants.create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'attachments', The same code works fine locally without any TypeError: create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file_ids' is there an update for creating assistants api on AZURE notebook(or any other cloud based notebook) or it is a new bug related to this bug ? I am using gpt-35-turbo-16k-0613 model

@Karishma Nanda Based on the links you referenced, i see this suggestion in the autogen FAQ to update its version.

What should I do if I get the error "TypeError: Assistants.create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file_ids'"?[](https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/docs/FAQ/#what-should-i-do-if-i-get-the-error-typeerror-assistantscreate-got-an-unexpected-keyword-argument-file_ids(Direct link to What should I do if I get the error "TypeError: Assistants.create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file_ids'"?)) This error typically occurs when using Autogen version earlier than 0.2.27 in combination with OpenAI library version 1.21 or later. The issue arises because the older version of Autogen does not support the file_ids parameter used by newer versions of the OpenAI API. To resolve this issue, you need to upgrade your Autogen library to version 0.2.27 or higher that ensures compatibility between Autogen and the OpenAI library.

`pip install --upgrade autogen`

If you are using any notebook like the Azure ML notebook from Azure ML studio, run this command to upgrade the version on the compute instance's kernel environment that is being used.

%pip install --upgrade autogen

yeah, I did try that even though my use case does not need autogen :D but it does not work . I am using assistant as code interpreter and it was working fine few weeks ago but now it says TypeError: create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file_ids I am getting error while creating assistant something like below code below code :

from openai import AzureOpenAI
    
client = AzureOpenAI(
    api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"),  
    api_version="2024-02-15-preview",
    azure_endpoint = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT")
    )

# Upload a file with an "assistants" purpose
file = client.files.create(
  file=open("speech.py", "rb"),
  purpose='assistants'
)

# Create an assistant using the file ID
assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
  instructions="You are an AI assistant that can write code to help answer math questions.",
  model="gpt-4-1106-preview",
  tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}],
  file_ids=[file.id]
)

@Karishma Nanda Could you add an issue on the SDK repo to report the same? If it worked earlier and failing now, I think it could be a bug from the service if the SDK version did not change. Thanks!!

Try this


# Create Assistant with uploaded file
assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
    model="gpt-4o_Test",
    instructions="You are an assistant for question-answering tasks.",
    tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}]
)

# Create thread and add a message
thread = client.beta.threads.create()
message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
    thread_id=thread.id,
    role="user",
    content="your content",
    attachments=[{
        "file_id": file.id,
        "tools": [{"type": "code_interpreter"}]  # Provide an object with the 'type' key
    }]
)

Answer 1

Please see this thread with similar error details.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2028283/azure-openai-assistants-code-interpreter-(preview)

We now need to use tool_resources with the assistant.

assistant = client.beta.assistants.create( instructions="You are an AI assistant that can write code to help answer math questions.", model=ENGINE_GPT4, tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}], tool_resources={ "code_interpreter": {"file_ids": [file.id]}} )

Answer 2

Hi,

Hello, it works, but it's not as elegant as the native Open AI,
when running it we depend on the prompt to search for the files and we can't fix the file_ids, when you have a better solution, please report it in this forum.


print("🤖 Creating assistant with associated files...")
assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
  name="Doc sample",
  instructions="You are an expert in Doc Sample. Answer based on the content of the provided   document.",
  tools=[{"type": "file_search"}], # or "retrieval", depending on the usage
  model=deployment,
  #file_ids=file_ids # <- associated files here (deprecread)
  tool_resources={ "code_interpreter": {"file_ids": file_ids}} # <- associated files here
)

run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
  thread_id=thread.id,
  assistant_id=assistant.id
)
