Optional
audioOptional
frequency_Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far, decreasing the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim.
Optional
function_Deprecated in favor of tool_choice
.
Controls which (if any) function is called by the model.
none
means the model will not call a function and instead generates a message.
auto
means the model can pick between generating a message or calling a
function.
Specifying a particular function via {"name": "my_function"}
forces the model
to call that function.
none
is the default when no functions are present. auto
is the default if
functions are present.
Optional
functionsDeprecated in favor of tools
.
A list of functions the model may generate JSON inputs for.
Optional
logit_Modify the likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion.
Accepts a JSON object that maps tokens (specified by their token ID in the tokenizer) to an associated bias value from -100 to 100. Mathematically, the bias is added to the logits generated by the model prior to sampling. The exact effect will vary per model, but values between -1 and 1 should decrease or increase likelihood of selection; values like -100 or 100 should result in a ban or exclusive selection of the relevant token.
Optional
logprobsWhether to return log probabilities of the output tokens or not. If true,
returns the log probabilities of each output token returned in the content
of
message
.
Optional
max_An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a completion, including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.
Optional
max_The maximum number of tokens that can be generated in the chat completion. This value can be used to control costs for text generated via API.
This value is now deprecated in favor of max_completion_tokens
, and is not
compatible with
o1 series models.
Optional
metadataSet 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, and querying for objects via API or the dashboard.
Keys are strings with a maximum length of 64 characters. Values are strings with a maximum length of 512 characters.
Optional
modalitiesOutput types that you would like the model to generate. Most models are capable of generating text, which is the default:
["text"]
The gpt-4o-audio-preview
model can also be used to
generate audio. To request that
this model generate both text and audio responses, you can use:
["text", "audio"]
Model ID used to generate the response, like gpt-4o
or o1
. OpenAI offers a
wide range of models with different capabilities, performance characteristics,
and price points. Refer to the
model guide to browse and compare
available models.
Optional
nHow many chat completion choices to generate for each input message. Note that
you will be charged based on the number of generated tokens across all of the
choices. Keep n
as 1
to minimize costs.
Optional
parallel_Whether to enable parallel function calling during tool use.
Optional
predictionStatic predicted output content, such as the content of a text file that is being regenerated.
Optional
presence_Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the model's likelihood to talk about new topics.
Optional
reasoning_o-series models only
Constrains effort on reasoning for
reasoning models. Currently
supported values are low
, medium
, and high
. Reducing reasoning effort can
result in faster responses and fewer tokens used on reasoning in a response.
Optional
response_An object specifying the format that the model must output.
Setting to { "type": "json_schema", "json_schema": {...} }
enables Structured
Outputs which ensures the model will match your supplied JSON schema. Learn more
in the
Structured Outputs guide.
Setting to { "type": "json_object" }
enables the older JSON mode, which
ensures the message the model generates is valid JSON. Using json_schema
is
preferred for models that support it.
Optional
seedThis feature is in Beta. If specified, our system will make a best effort to
sample deterministically, such that repeated requests with the same seed
and
parameters should return the same result. Determinism is not guaranteed, and you
should refer to the system_fingerprint
response parameter to monitor changes
in the backend.
Optional
service_Specifies the latency tier to use for processing the request. This parameter is relevant for customers subscribed to the scale tier service:
When this parameter is set, the response body will include the service_tier
utilized.
Optional
stopUp to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens. The returned text will not contain the stop sequence.
Optional
storeWhether or not to store the output of this chat completion request for use in our model distillation or evals products.
Optional
streamIf set to true, the model response data will be streamed to the client as it is generated using server-sent events. See the Streaming section below for more information, along with the streaming responses guide for more information on how to handle the streaming events.
Optional
stream_Options for streaming response. Only set this when you set stream: true
.
Optional
temperatureWhat 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. We generally recommend altering this or top_p
but
not both.
Optional
tool_Controls which (if any) tool is called by the model. none
means the model will
not call any tool and instead generates a message. auto
means the model can
pick between generating a message or calling one or more tools. required
means
the model must call one or more tools. Specifying a particular tool via
{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "my_function"}}
forces the model to
call that tool.
none
is the default when no tools are present. auto
is the default if tools
are present.
Optional
toolsA list of tools the model may call. Currently, only functions are supported as a tool. Use this to provide a list of functions the model may generate JSON inputs for. A max of 128 functions are supported.
Optional
top_An integer between 0 and 20 specifying the number of most likely tokens to
return at each token position, each with an associated log probability.
logprobs
must be set to true
if this parameter is used.
Optional
top_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.
Optional
userA unique identifier representing your end-user, which can help OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse. Learn more.
Optional
web_This tool searches the web for relevant results to use in a response. Learn more about the web search tool.
Parameters for audio output. Required when audio output is requested with
modalities: ["audio"]
. Learn more.
