When Will Azure OpenAI Assistants Support GPT-4o (2024-11-20 Version)?

Question

We are currently using Azure OpenAI Assistants, which only support GPT-4o version 2024-05-13. Unfortunately, this version recently stopped supporting text extraction, breaking our existing systems that rely on this functionality.

OpenAI’s direct implementation is now using GPT-4o version 2024-08-06, which addresses the text extraction issue. However, Azure Assistants still lag behind and do not yet support this version, let alone the latest GPT-4o version 2024-11-20.

This lack of updates is causing significant disruptions to our workflows. Are there any plans or timelines for when Azure OpenAI Assistants will support the 2024-11-20 version of GPT-4o or at least catch up to the 2024-08-06 version currently used by OpenAI?

We urgently need clarity and a resolution to prevent further impact on our systems.

Hi Karthik,
Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has not yet announced any specific timeline for when Azure OpenAI Assistants will support the newer GPT-4o versions (2024-08-06 or 2024-11-20).

However, you can keep an eye on the Azure OpenAI Service release notes for updates on What's new in Azure OpenAI Service page will be updated accordingly with more details.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have any further queries.
