Note
With this updated preview library release, we're excited to bring early support for the newly-announced /realtime
beta API. You can read more about /realtime
here: https://openai.com/index/introducing-the-realtime-api/. Given the scope and recency of the feature area, the new RealtimeConversationClient
is subject to substantial refinement and change over the coming weeks -- this release is purely intended to empower early development against gpt-4o-realtime-preview
as quickly and efficiently as possible.
- Added a new
RealtimeConversationClient
in a corresponding scenario namespace. (ff75da4)- This maps to the new
/realtime
beta endpoint and is thus marked with a new[Experimental("OPENAI002")]
diagnostic tag. - This is a very early version of the convenience surface and thus subject to significant change
- Documentation and samples will arrive soon; in the interim, see the scenario test files for basic usage
- You can also find an external sample employing this client, together with Azure OpenAI support, at https://github.com/Azure-Samples/aoai-realtime-audio-sdk/tree/main/dotnet/samples/console
- This maps to the new
Note
First stable version of the official OpenAI library for .NET.

CancellationToken
parameters to methods forAssistantClient
andVectorStore
client, consistent with past changes in 19a65a0. (d77539c) - Fixed Assistants
FileSearchToolDefinition
'sMaxResults
parameter to appropriately serialize and deserialize the value (d77539c) - Added missing
[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
attributes toAssistantClient
protocol methods, which should improve discoverability of the strongly typed methods. (d77539c)
- Removed the usage of
init
and updated properties to useset
. (58f93c8)
- (#84) Fixed a
NullReferenceException
thrown when adding the custom headers policy whileOpenAIClientOptions
is null (0b97311)
OrganizationId
andProjectId
are now present onOpenAIClientOptions
. When instantiating a client, providing an instance ofOpenAIClientOptions
with these properties set will cause the client to add the appropriate request headers for org/project, eliminating the need to manually configure the headers. (9ee7dff)
- (#72) Fixed
filename
request encoding in operations usingmultipart/form-data
, includingfiles
andaudio
(2ba8e69) - (#79) Fixed hard-coded
user
role for caller-created Assistants API messages on threads (d665b61) - Fixed non-streaming Assistants API run step details not reporting code interpreter logs when present (d665b61)
Assistants (beta):
AssistantClient.CreateMessage()
and the explicit constructor forThreadInitializationMessage
now require aMessageRole
parameter. This properly enables the ability to create an Assistant message representing conversation history on a new thread. (d665b61)

- (#30) Mitigated a .NET runtime issue that prevented chat message content and several other types from serializing correct on targets including mono and wasm (896b9e0)
- Assistants: Fixed an issue that threw an exception when receiving code interpreter run step logs when streaming a run (207d597)
- Fixed a concurrency condition that could cause
multipart/form-data
requests to no longer generate random content part boundaries (no direct scenario impact) (7cacdee)
Assistants (beta):
InputQuote
is removed from AssistantsTextAnnotation
andTextAnnotationUpdate
, per openai/openai-openapi@dd73070b (1af6569)

- Build/analyzer warnings cleaned up throughout the project (45fc4d7, b1fa082, 22ab606)
- Proactively aligned library's implementation of server-sent event (SSE) handling with the source of the incoming
System.Net.ServerSentEvents
namespace (674e0f7)
- Added new, built-in helpers to simplify the use of text-only message content (1c40de6)
- Optimized embedding deserialization and addressed correctness on big endian systems (e28b5a7)
- Optimized b64_json message parsing via regex (efd76b5)
- Removed a vestigial package reference (5874f53)
This is the official OpenAI client library for C# / .NET. It provides convenient access to the OpenAI REST API from .NET applications and supports all the latest features. It is generated from our OpenAPI specification in collaboration with Microsoft.
If you are a user migrating from version 1.11.0 or earlier, we will soon share a migration guide to help you get started.
- Addendum: the migration guide is now available.
