Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jehna/humanify/issues/19

Some notes I made in another issue, but felt like it deserved it's own more specific issue to track it.

I also noticed that this project is using the node openai 3.3.0 package, whereas it's up to 4.52.3 now (that might not make a difference at all, but you never know):

https://www.npmjs.com/package/openai

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/releases

github.com/jehna/humanify@002fd68d10/package.json (L22)

The changelog entries only seem to start from 4.2.0:

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#420-2023-08-23

There are a few bugfix entries related to handling errors while streaming.. I wonder if that might be helpful?

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#4122-2023-10-16

Also some related to tools/functions, eg.

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#4210-2023-12-11

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/pull/562

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#4221-2023-12-15

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/issues/570

And new model:

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#4460-2024-05-13

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/issues/841

https://github.com/openai/openai-node#automated-function-calls

We provide the openai.beta.chat.completions.runTools({…}) convenience helper for using function tool calls with the /chat/completions endpoint which automatically call the JavaScript functions you provide and sends their results back to the /chat/completions endpoint, looping as long as the model requests tool calls.

If you pass a parse function, it will automatically parse the arguments for you and returns any parsing errors to the model to attempt auto-recovery. Otherwise, the args will be passed to the function you provide as a string.

If you pass tool_choice: {function: {name: …}} instead of auto, it returns immediately after calling that function (and only loops to auto-recover parsing errors).

Note that runFunctions was previously available as well, but has been deprecated in favor of runTools.

We can see that the openai stuff is initially called here, which generates a 'plugin' that is then applied to the code of each of the files extracted with webcrack:

github.com/jehna/humanify@002fd68d10/src/index.ts (L56-L71)

With the main logic being implemented here, and the actual SDK call within codeToVariableRenames:

github.com/jehna/humanify@002fd68d10/src/openai/openai.ts (L14-L82)

We can also see that it's using the functions config, which is deprecated now, and replaced by tools:

Hello, I have updated the OpenAI package to 4.52.7 and switched the models to use GPT4o. On top of that I had also switched gpt3-encoder to the newer gpt-tokenizer package. I kept almost all the processes the same as to help this project to stay up to date on the available OpenAI models and its API changes. I didnt make a pull request as I didn't test my code extensively. I also see that the owner is quite busy and don't wish to bother him. So I will be keeping my own version for now.

If you wish to look at the changes I am making to the humanify project, then the link to it is here: https://github.com/Acters/humanify-ng/tree/GPT4o

This should now be fixed in v2 since there's the long awaited JSON mode with the new structured outputs. Please take a look and repoen if anything comes up

Originally posted by @jehna in https://github.com/jehna/humanify/issues/22#issuecomment-2282876269

Since the v2 release is using the 4.55.1 version of the openai lib, I consider this issue implemented now:
