What’s new?

We’ve made three updates to function calling in the API:

  • “JSON mode” now enables the model to output strings that parse to valid JSON

  • The ability to call multiple functions from a single message

  • Improved performance on matching the desired properties or schema, if provided

What is JSON mode?

By setting response_format: { type: "json_object" } when calling gpt-4-visual-preview or gpt-3.5-turbo, these models will constrain their output to generate strings that parse into valid JSON. Read our guide on function calling for more information on how to configure this setting properly.
