[FEATURE REQ] Implement support for chatkit sessions

[binn]

Describe the feature or improvement you are requesting

I see there are new endpoints available for AgentKit and ChatKit, can we have them implemented into the OAI API for .NET so we can initiate ChatKit sessions directly from .NET APIs?

Additional context

No response

Hi @binn. Thanks for reaching out and for your inquiry. The ChatKit feature area of OpenAI is a recent addition and is not yet represented in the REST API spec that the client is generated from. Once the spec is updated to include this area, it will be added to the client.

Hi @jsquire

First of all i just want to thank you guys for your awesome Work up to this point with the Package. We're more than thankful we can rely on such a sophisticated Base to build our Applications on.

We're following the progess of the package closely and are seeing lots of your replies end with "once the spec is updated to include this area..."

so i was wondering.... which spec exactly are you guys referring to? When i look at the OpenAI-OpenAPI Spec here i see the Chatkit description.

Just out of curiosity: from where are you exactly generating the API?

And also, yeah we would also be highly interested in Using ChatKit API ;).

Best Regards
Patrick

@DIDPT: Thank you for the kind words. Client generation is based on a TypeSpec representation, the current published version of which can be found locally in specification/base/typespec. The translation process to TypeSpec is owned by another team and performed upstream, with a drop being published for our use.

OpenAI recently made a transition to OpenAPI v3.1 for their source version, which impacted many of the downstream processes, including translation. As a result, there has been a delay in some of the new features being made available in the format we need for consumption. We're expecting this to be resolved by end of month. Unfortunately, there will be some impact of the change in the TypeSpec drop as well, so it will take a bit of time for us to fully adjust and integrate.

With respect to chatkit itself, there is still some discussion taking place as to whether it aligns with the intention of this library to focus on core LLM interactions with OpenAI or no. At present, we plan to include it as part of the spec refresh. We'll keep this issue updated should there be changes to that.
