Question

can't create open AI assistance via Azure.AI.OpenAI 2.1.0

Amir 10

When trying to run AzureClient.GetAssistantClient();

I get an exception
System.InvalidOperationException: 'The preview Assistants feature area is not available in this GA release of the Azure OpenAI Service. To use this capability, please use a preview version of the library.'

I read some in the git that is should be working since 2.0.0

Hi Amir,
Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!
I understand that you are facing an issue with the Assistants feature in Azure OpenAI.

Apologize for any inconvenience caused. It might be the Assistants feature is still in Preview and has not yet reached General Availability (GA).

If you urgently need to use this feature, you may want to consider using the REST API, which might provide better support for Preview functionalities.

Please refer the following document: Assistants API (Preview) reference.

Also, you can raise a support request through the Azure portal Microsoft Support. if you need further assistance.

Thanks Purilla.

I was wondering if I have to use a thread to interact with the Agent, or is there a way to just give the agent the instructions, and get the a chat completion without it, since I do not need context from other messages.

Hi,

I have the same problem and nailed it down to a problem on the c# side.

I was switching between OpenAI and Azure OpenAI back and forth und figured out that the problem was introduced with Azure.AI.OpenAI Nuget package 2.1.0. I have an older test-project using Azure.AI.OpenAI 2.0.0-beta.5 and here the GetAssistantClient and GetVectorStoreClient functions are still working.

So it's not dependend on the server configuration in Azure AI Foundry.
