GPT 4o Mini Search Preview

Using the Chat Completions API, you can directly access the fine-tuned models and tool used by Search in ChatGPT. When using Chat Completions, the model always retrieves information from the web before responding to your query. To use web_search_preview as a tool that models like gpt-4o and gpt-4o-mini invoke only when necessary, switch to using the Responses API. Currently, you need to use one of these models to use web search in Chat Completions: gpt-4o-search-preview gpt-4o-mini-search-preview Web search parameter example import OpenAI from "openai"; const client = new OpenAI(); const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({ model: "gpt-4o-search-preview", web_search_options: {}, messages: [{ "role": "user", "content": "What was a positive news story from today?" }], }); console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content); Output and citations The API response item in the choices array will include: message.content with the text result from the model, inclusive of any inline citations annotations with a list of cited URLs By default, the model's response will include inline citations for URLs found in the web search results.
