Release Notes

This release marks the first step in transitioning from the deprecated Assistants API to the Responses API for Groups using OpenAI as their AI Provider.

The majority of changes in this release relate to server handling of assistants, files, threads, and messages and have no effect on the user’s experience of creating and managing threads and assistants. To ensure compatibility with the front-end and other functions, like thread exports, Responses API responses are converted to the Assistants API format in the relevant API endpoints. Future releases may introduce additional breaking changes to take advantage of additional capabilities in the Responses API.

In short, users should notice minimal to no changes in their workflow on PingPong with this release.

Some features may not be available for all Groups or on all devices and browsers.

Assistants

New Features

  • Introduces Next-Gen Assistants, powered by the Responses API instead of the deprecated Assistants API.
    • There are no user-facing changes in the Assistant creation and management workflow.
    • Assistants created after this update in Groups using an OpenAI API Key will automatically be Next-Gen.
  • Adds an Assistant Version field (read-only) to the Create/Edit Assistants page under Advanced Options.

Known Issues

  • Upgrading a Classic Assistant to Next-Gen is not currently supported. An automatic migration for all Classic Assistants will be performed in the future.
    Workaround: Create a new Assistant with the same parameters as the Version 2 Assistant.
  • Next-Gen Assistants are not currently supported in Azure API Key Groups; these will continue using Classic Assistants.

Notes

  • Choosing whether to create a Next-Gen or Classic Assistant will not be supported. All Classic Assistants will be upgraded to Next-Gen Assistants in the future.
  • Some models from the Responses API, including the gpt-5 family, are not available on PingPong yet.
  • Next-Gen Assistants mirror the tool capabilities of Classic Assistants. Web Search, Reasoning Summaries and other tools are not currently available.

Files

New Features

  • Besides being uploaded to OpenAI, all user uploads and assistant-generated files in threads are now stored in an S3 Bucket to enable future capabilities, including AI Provider portability.

Threads

New Features

  • Introduces Next-Gen Threads, powered by the Responses API instead of the deprecated Assistants API.
  • Thread versioning follows the Assistant version: threads created by Classic Assistants remain Classic Threads, while those created by Next-Gen Assistants are Next-Gen Threads.

Updates & Improvements

  • Code Interpreter Calls now display the Output Logs generated by the tool call.
  • File Search Annotations now include the text referenced by the assistant in a modal revealed when the File Search citation is clicked.

Known Issues

  • Upgrading a Classic Thread to Next-Gen is not currently supported. An automatic migration for all Classic Threads will be performed in the future.
  • Next-Gen Threads are not currently available for Azure API Key Groups; these groups will continue using Classic Threads.

Deprecations

  • In-line File Search citations are not supported in Next-Gen Threads.

Voice Mode

Known Issues

  • Next-Gen Assistants and Threads are not currently supported in Voice Mode. Voice Mode threads will continue using Classic Threads and Classic Assistants, powered by the Assistants API.
