The ID of the assistant to retrieve.

Response

OK

idstring required

object'assistant' required

The object type, which is always assistant.

created_atinteger required

The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the assistant was created.

namestring nullable required

The name of the assistant. The maximum length is 256 characters.

descriptionstring nullable required

modelstring required

ID of the model to use. You can use the List models API to see all of your available models, or see our Model overview for descriptions of them.

instructionsstring nullable required

The system instructions that the assistant uses. The maximum length is 256,000 characters.

metadataobject nullable required

Set of 16 key-value pairs that can be attached to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Keys can be a maximum of 64 characters long and values can be a maximum of 512 characters long.

temperaturenumber nullable

What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.

top_pnumber nullable

An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.

We generally recommend altering this or temperature but not both.

Example response

{
  "temperature": 1,
  "top_p": 1
}
