Getting started with Azure OpenAI Assistants (Preview)

  • आलेख

Azure OpenAI Assistants (Preview) allows you to create AI assistants tailored to your needs through custom instructions and augmented by advanced tools like code interpreter, and custom functions. In this article, we provide an in-depth walkthrough of getting started with the Assistants API.

Note

  • File search can ingest up to 10,000 files per assistant - 500 times more than before. It is fast, supports parallel queries through multi-threaded searches, and features enhanced reranking and query rewriting.
    • Vector store is a new object in the API. Once a file is added to a vector store, it's automatically parsed, chunked, and embedded, made ready to be searched. Vector stores can be used across assistants and threads, simplifying file management and billing.
  • We've added support for the tool_choice parameter which can be used to force the use of a specific tool (like file search, code interpreter, or a function) in a particular run.

Assistants support

Region and model support

Code interpreter is available in all regions supported by Azure OpenAI Assistants. The models page contains the most up-to-date information on regions/models where Assistants are currently supported.

Tools

Tip

We've added support for the tool_choice parameter which can be used to force the use of a specific tool (like file_search, code_interpreter, or a function) in a particular run.

An individual assistant can access up to 128 tools including code interpreter and file search, but you can also define your own custom tools via functions.

Files

Files can be uploaded via Studio, or programmatically. The file_ids parameter is required to give tools like code_interpreter access to files. When using the File upload endpoint, you must have the purpose set to assistants to be used with the Assistants API.

Assistants playground

We provide a walkthrough of the Assistants playground in our quickstart guide. This provides a no-code environment to test out the capabilities of assistants.

Assistants components

Component Description
Assistant Custom AI that uses Azure OpenAI models in conjunction with tools.
Thread A conversation session between an Assistant and a user. Threads store Messages and automatically handle truncation to fit content into a model’s context.
Message A message created by an Assistant or a user. Messages can include text, images, and other files. Messages are stored as a list on the Thread.
Run Activation of an Assistant to begin running based on the contents of the Thread. The Assistant uses its configuration and the Thread’s Messages to perform tasks by calling models and tools. As part of a Run, the Assistant appends Messages to the Thread.
Run Step A detailed list of steps the Assistant took as part of a Run. An Assistant can call tools or create Messages during it’s run. Examining Run Steps allows you to understand how the Assistant is getting to its final results.

Setting up your first Assistant

Create an assistant

For this example we'll create an assistant that writes code to generate visualizations using the capabilities of the code_interpreter tool. The examples below are intended to be run sequentially in an environment like Jupyter Notebooks.

import os
import json
from openai import AzureOpenAI
    
client = AzureOpenAI(
    api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"),  
    api_version="2024-05-01-preview",
    azure_endpoint = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT")
    )

# Create an assistant
assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
    name="Data Visualization",
    instructions=f"You are a helpful AI assistant who makes interesting visualizations based on data." 
    f"You have access to a sandboxed environment for writing and testing code."
    f"When you are asked to create a visualization you should follow these steps:"
    f"1. Write the code."
    f"2. Anytime you write new code display a preview of the code to show your work."
    f"3. Run the code to confirm that it runs."
    f"4. If the code is successful display the visualization."
    f"5. If the code is unsuccessful display the error message and try to revise the code and rerun going through the steps from above again.",
    tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}],
    model="gpt-4-1106-preview" #You must replace this value with the deployment name for your model.
)

There are a few details you should note from the configuration above:

  • We enable this assistant to access code interpreter with the line tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}],. This gives the model access to a sand-boxed python environment to run and execute code to help formulating responses to a user's question.
  • In the instructions we remind the model that it can execute code. Sometimes the model needs help guiding it towards the right tool to solve a given query. If you know you want to use a particular library to generate a certain response that you know is part of code interpreter, it can help to provide guidance by saying something like "Use Matplotlib to do x."
  • Since this is Azure OpenAI the value you enter for model= must match the deployment name.

Next we're going to print the contents of assistant that we just created to confirm that creation was successful:

print(assistant.model_dump_json(indent=2))

{
  "id": "asst_7AZSrv5I3XzjUqWS40X5UgRr",
  "created_at": 1705972454,
  "description": null,
  "file_ids": [],
  "instructions": "You are a helpful AI assistant who makes interesting visualizations based on data.You have access to a sandboxed environment for writing and testing code.When you are asked to create a visualization you should follow these steps:1. Write the code.2. Anytime you write new code display a preview of the code to show your work.3. Run the code to confirm that it runs.4. If the code is successful display the visualization.5. If the code is unsuccessful display the error message and try to revise the code and rerun going through the steps from above again.",
  "metadata": {},
  "model": "gpt-4-1106-preview",
  "name": "Data Visualization",
  "object": "assistant",
  "tools": [
    {
      "type": "code_interpreter"
    }
  ]
}

Create a thread

Now let's create a thread.

# Create a thread
thread = client.beta.threads.create()
print(thread)

Thread(id='thread_6bunpoBRZwNhovwzYo7fhNVd', created_at=1705972465, metadata={}, object='thread')

A thread is essentially the record of the conversation session between the assistant and the user. It's similar to the messages array/list in a typical chat completions API call. One of the key differences, is unlike a chat completions messages array, you don't need to track tokens with each call to make sure that you're remaining below the context length of the model. Threads abstract away this management detail and will compress the thread history as needed in order to allow the conversation to continue. The ability for threads to accomplish this with larger conversations is enhanced when using the latest models, which have larger context lengths and support for the latest features.

Next create the first user question to add to the thread.

# Add a user question to the thread
message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
    thread_id=thread.id,
    role="user",
    content="Create a visualization of a sinewave"
)

List thread messages

thread_messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread.id)
print(thread_messages.model_dump_json(indent=2))

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "msg_JnkmWPo805Ft8NQ0gZF6vA2W",
      "assistant_id": null,
      "content": [
        {
          "text": {
            "annotations": [],
            "value": "Create a visualization of a sinewave"
          },
          "type": "text"
        }
      ],
      "created_at": 1705972476,
      "file_ids": [],
      "metadata": {},
      "object": "thread.message",
      "role": "user",
      "run_id": null,
      "thread_id": "thread_6bunpoBRZwNhovwzYo7fhNVd"
    }
  ],
  "object": "list",
  "first_id": "msg_JnkmWPo805Ft8NQ0gZF6vA2W",
  "last_id": "msg_JnkmWPo805Ft8NQ0gZF6vA2W",
  "has_more": false
}

Run thread

run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
  thread_id=thread.id,
  assistant_id=assistant.id,
  #instructions="New instructions" #You can optionally provide new instructions but these will override the default instructions
)

We could also pass an instructions parameter here, but this would override the existing instructions that we have already provided for the assistant.

Retrieve thread status

# Retrieve the status of the run
run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
  thread_id=thread.id,
  run_id=run.id
)

status = run.status
print(status)

completed

Depending on the complexity of the query you run, the thread could take longer to execute. In that case you can create a loop to monitor the run status of the thread with code like the example below:

import time
from IPython.display import clear_output

start_time = time.time()

status = run.status

while status not in ["completed", "cancelled", "expired", "failed"]:
    time.sleep(5)
    run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(thread_id=thread.id,run_id=run.id)
    print("Elapsed time: {} minutes {} seconds".format(int((time.time() - start_time) // 60), int((time.time() - start_time) % 60)))
    status = run.status
    print(f'Status: {status}')
    clear_output(wait=True)

messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
  thread_id=thread.id
) 

print(f'Status: {status}')
print("Elapsed time: {} minutes {} seconds".format(int((time.time() - start_time) // 60), int((time.time() - start_time) % 60)))
print(messages.model_dump_json(indent=2))

When a Run is in_progress or in other nonterminal states the thread is locked. When a thread is locked new messages can't be added, and new runs can't be created.

List thread messages post run

Once the run status indicates successful completion, you can list the contents of the thread again to retrieve the model's and any tools response:

messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
  thread_id=thread.id
)

print(messages.model_dump_json(indent=2))

  "last_id": "msg_Pu3eHjM10XIBkwqh7IhnKKdG",
  "has_more": false
}

Retrieve file ID

We had requested that the model generate an image of a sine wave. In order to download the image, we first need to retrieve the images file ID.

data = json.loads(messages.model_dump_json(indent=2))  # Load JSON data into a Python object
image_file_id = data['data'][0]['content'][0]['image_file']['file_id']

print(image_file_id)  # Outputs: assistant-1YGVTvNzc2JXajI5JU9F0HMD

Download image

content = client.files.content(image_file_id)

image= content.write_to_file("sinewave.png")

Open the image locally once it's downloaded:

from PIL import Image

# Display the image in the default image viewer
image = Image.open("sinewave.png")
image.show()

Screenshot of code interpreter generated sine wave.

Ask a follow-up question on the thread

Since the assistant didn't quite follow our instructions and include the code that was run in the text portion of its response lets explicitly ask for that information.

# Add a new user question to the thread
message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
    thread_id=thread.id,
    role="user",
    content="Show me the code you used to generate the sinewave"
)

Again we'll need to run and retrieve the status of the thread:

run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
  thread_id=thread.id,
  assistant_id=assistant.id,
  #instructions="New instructions" #You can optionally provide new instructions  but these will override the default instructions
)

# Retrieve the status of the run
run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
  thread_id=thread.id,
  run_id=run.id
)

status = run.status
print(status)


completed

Once the run status reaches completed, we'll list the messages in the thread again which should now include the response to our latest question.

messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
  thread_id=thread.id
)

print(messages.model_dump_json(indent=2))

    {
      "id": "msg_oaF1PUeozAvj3KrNnbKSy4LQ",
      "assistant_id": "asst_eHwhP4Xnad0bZdJrjHO2hfB4",

To extract only the response to our latest question:

data = json.loads(messages.model_dump_json(indent=2))
code = data['data'][0]['content'][0]['text']['value']
print(code)

Certainly, here is the code I used to generate the sine wave visualization:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Generating data for the sinewave
x = np.linspace(0, 4 * np.pi, 1000)  # Generate values from 0 to 4*pi
y = np.sin(x)  # Compute the sine of these values

# Plotting the sine wave
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.title('Sine Wave')
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('sin(x)')
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

Dark mode

Let's add one last question to the thread to see if code interpreter can swap the chart to dark mode for us.

# Add a user question to the thread
message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
    thread_id=thread.id,
    role="user",
    content="I prefer visualizations in darkmode can you change the colors to make a darkmode version of this visualization."
)

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

# Retrieve the status of the run
run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
  thread_id=thread.id,
  run_id=run.id
)

status = run.status
print(status)

completed

Run status definitions

Status Definition
queued When Runs are first created or when you complete the required_action, they are moved to a queued status. They should almost immediately move to in_progress.
in_progress While in_progress, the Assistant uses the model and tools to perform steps. You can view progress being made by the Run by examining the Run Steps.
completed The Run successfully completed! You can now view all Messages the Assistant added to the Thread, and all the steps the Run took. You can also continue the conversation by adding more user Messages to the Thread and creating another Run.
requires_action When using the Function calling tool, the Run will move to a required_action state once the model determines the names and arguments of the functions to be called. You must then run those functions and submit the outputs before the run proceeds. If the outputs are not provided before the expires_at timestamp passes (roughly 10-mins past creation), the run will move to an expired status.
expired This happens when the function calling outputs weren't submitted before expires_at and the run expires. Additionally, if the runs take too long to execute and go beyond the time stated in expires_at, our systems will expire the run.
cancelling You can attempt to cancel an in_progress run using the Cancel Run endpoint. Once the attempt to cancel succeeds, status of the Run moves to canceled. Cancelation is attempted but not guaranteed.
cancelled Run was successfully canceled.
failed You can view the reason for the failure by looking at the last_error object in the Run. The timestamp for the failure will be recorded under failed_at.

Message annotations

Assistant message annotations are different from the content filtering annotations that are present in completion and chat completion API responses. Assistant annotations can occur within the content array of the object. Annotations provide information around how you should annotate the text in the responses to the user.

When annotations are present in the Message content array, you'll see illegible model-generated substrings in the text that you need to replace with the correct annotations. These strings might look something like 【13†source】 or sandbox:/mnt/data/file.csv. Here’s a Python code snippet from OpenAI that replaces these strings with the information present in the annotations.


from openai import AzureOpenAI
    
client = AzureOpenAI(
    api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"),  
    api_version="2024-05-01-preview",
    azure_endpoint = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT")
    )

# Retrieve the message object
message = client.beta.threads.messages.retrieve(
  thread_id="...",
  message_id="..."
)

# Extract the message content
message_content = message.content[0].text
annotations = message_content.annotations
citations = []

# Iterate over the annotations and add footnotes
for index, annotation in enumerate(annotations):
    # Replace the text with a footnote
    message_content.value = message_content.value.replace(annotation.text, f' [{index}]')

    # Gather citations based on annotation attributes
    if (file_citation := getattr(annotation, 'file_citation', None)):
        cited_file = client.files.retrieve(file_citation.file_id)
        citations.append(f'[{index}] {file_citation.quote} from {cited_file.filename}')
    elif (file_path := getattr(annotation, 'file_path', None)):
        cited_file = client.files.retrieve(file_path.file_id)
        citations.append(f'[{index}] Click <here> to download {cited_file.filename}')
        # Note: File download functionality not implemented above for brevity

# Add footnotes to the end of the message before displaying to user
message_content.value += '\n' + '\n'.join(citations)
Message annotation Description
file_citation File citations are created by the retrieval tool and define references to a specific quote in a specific file that was uploaded and used by the Assistant to generate the response.
file_path File path annotations are created by the code_interpreter tool and contain references to the files generated by the tool.
