Timeline for beta or stable release?

[HaraldNordgren]

We are currently using https://github.com/sashabaranov/go-openai, but considering switching to this. But I'm worried that it is still in alpha.

Is there a timeline for beta or stable release?

Hi, we appreciate the excitement. We will be shifting toward beta very soon! I'll keep this thread updated when more information is clear.

Alpha testing now
Nice work!

Any update on this? The official announcement said that the Go SDK is currently available in Beta, yet the repo is still in Alpha. We are excited to start migrating, but wondering where to put this in our own development timeline

Hi all, we appreciate your patience.

The current SDK is design is undergoing limited development. A breaking version will come out later this month featuring improved ergonomics for param and response structs.

This will involve a few breaking changes, but it shouldn't take long to migrate and a full guide will be posted. I'll share a rough overview to give a sense of the updates (may be subject to change).

1. openai.F(...) will no longer be necessary in parameters

   • Migration should only require deleting code, no need to rewrite

2. Response structs will be indistinct from parameter structs, allowing ergonomic re-use of response data in parameters for following API calls.

   • Accesses to response fields will need to be updated

3. Access to raw response JSON, checks for null and omitted JSON fields, and overloading parameters with arbitrary JSON will also require small updates, but all functionality will remain.

In the meantime, we still recommend using the library. If you update your IDE to the latest gopls, in which we improved polymorphic type inference, it makes the openai.F(...) pattern significantly more user-friendly.

@jacobzim-stl thank you for the quick response. We will wait for this next update and then migrate over. Any specific release tags to look for?
