It supports conversational AI, text generation, function calling, structured outputs, and vision capabilities.\n\n### Supported Models\n\n#### GPT-5 Series (Released August 2025)\n- **gpt-5**: Full-featured reasoning model with advanced capabilities\n- **gpt-5-mini**: Cost-effective alternative with good performance\n- **gpt-5-nano**: Smallest/fastest variant for simple tasks\n\n#### GPT-4o Series\n- **gpt-4o**: Multimodal model with vision capabilities\n- **gpt-4-turbo**: Fast GPT-4 variant\n\n#### GPT-4 Series (Legacy)\n- **gpt-4**: Original GPT-4 model *(deprecated - use gpt-5 or gpt-4o)*\n\n### Basic Request Structure\n\n```typescript\n{\n  model: string,              // Model to use (e.g., \"gpt-5\")\n  messages: Message[],        // Conversation history\n  reasoning_effort?: string,  // GPT-5 only: \"minimal\" | \"low\" | \"medium\" | \"high\"\n  verbosity?: string,         // GPT-5 only: \"low\" | \"medium\" | \"high\"\n  temperature?: number,       // NOT supported by GPT-5\n  max_tokens?: number,        // Max tokens to generate\n  stream?: boolean,           // Enable streaming\n  tools?: Tool[],             // Function calling tools\n}\n```\n\n### Response Structure\n\n```typescript\n{\n  id: string,                 // Unique completion ID\n  object: \"chat.completion\",\n  created: number,            // Unix timestamp\n  model: string,              // Model used\n  choices: [{\n    index: number,\n    message: {\n      role: \"assistant\",\n      content: string,        // Generated text\n      tool_calls?: ToolCall[] // If function calling\n    },\n    finish_reason: string     // \"stop\" | \"length\" | \"tool_calls\"\n  }],\n  usage: {\n    prompt_tokens: number,\n    completion_tokens: number,\n    total_tokens: number\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Message Roles & Multi-turn Conversations\n\nThree roles: **system** (behavior), **user** (input), **assistant** (model responses).\n\n**Important**: API is **stateless** - send full conversation history each request. For stateful conversations, use `openai-responses` skill.\n\n---\n\n## GPT-5 Series Models\n\nGPT-5 models (released August 2025) introduce reasoning and verbosity controls.\n\n### GPT-5.2 (Released December 11, 2025)\n\n**Latest flagship model**:\n- **gpt-5.2**: 400k context window, 128k output tokens\n- **xhigh reasoning_effort**: New level beyond \"high\" for complex problems\n- **Compaction**: Extends context for long workflows (via API endpoint)\n- **Pricing**: $1.75/$14 per million tokens (1.4x of GPT-5.1)\n\n```typescript\n// GPT-5.2 with maximum reasoning\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'gpt-5.2',\n  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Solve this extremely complex problem...' }],\n  reasoning_effort: 'xhigh', // NEW: Beyond \"high\"\n});\n```\n\n### GPT-5.1 (Released November 13, 2025)\n\n**Warmer, more intelligent model**:\n- **gpt-5.1**: Adaptive reasoning that varies thinking time dynamically\n- **24-hour extended prompt caching**: Faster follow-up queries at lower cost\n- **New developer tools**: apply_patch (code editing), shell (command execution)\n\n**BREAKING CHANGE**: GPT-5.1/5.2 default to `reasoning_effort: 'none'` (vs GPT-5 defaulting to `'medium'`).\n\n### O-Series Reasoning Models\n\nDedicated reasoning models (separate from GPT-5):\n\n| Model | Released | Purpose |\n|-------|----------|---------|\n| **o3** | Apr 16, 2025 | Successor to o1, advanced reasoning |\n| **o3-pro** | Jun 10, 2025 | Extended compute version of o3 |\n| **o3-mini** | Jan 31, 2025 | Smaller, faster o3 variant |\n| **o4-mini** | Apr 16, 2025 | Fast, cost-efficient reasoning |\n\n```typescript\n// O-series models\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'o3',  // or 'o3-mini', 'o4-mini'\n  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Complex reasoning task...' }],\n});\n```\n\n**Note**: O-series may be deprecated in favor of GPT-5 with `reasoning_effort` parameter.\n\n### reasoning_effort Parameter\n\nControls thinking depth (GPT-5/5.1/5.2):\n- **\"none\"**: No reasoning (fastest) - GPT-5.1/5.2 default\n- **\"minimal\"**: Quick responses *(Note: May not be available - [Issue #1690](https://github.com/openai/openai-node/issues/1690))*\n- **\"low\"**: Basic reasoning\n- **\"medium\"**: Balanced - GPT-5 default\n- **\"high\"**: Deep reasoning\n- **\"xhigh\"**: Maximum reasoning (GPT-5.2 only)\n\n### verbosity Parameter\n\nControls output detail (GPT-5 series):\n- **\"low\"**: Concise\n- **\"medium\"**: Balanced (default)\n- **\"high\"**: Verbose\n\n### GPT-5 Limitations\n\n**NOT Supported**:\n- ❌ `temperature`, `top_p`, `logprobs` parameters\n- ❌ Stateful Chain of Thought between turns\n\n**Alternatives**: Use GPT-4o for temperature/top_p, or `openai-responses` skill for stateful reasoning\n\n---\n\n## Streaming Patterns\n\nEnable with `stream: true` for token-by-token delivery.\n\n### Node.js SDK\n```typescript\nconst stream = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'gpt-5.1',\n  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Write a poem' }],\n  stream: true,\n});\n\nfor await (const chunk of stream) {\n  const content = chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '';\n  process.stdout.write(content);\n}\n```\n\n### Fetch (Cloudflare Workers)\n```typescript\nconst response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', {\n  method: 'POST',\n  headers: {\n    'Authorization': `Bearer ${env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`,\n    'Content-Type': 'application/json',\n  },\n  body: JSON.stringify({\n    model: 'gpt-5.1',\n    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Write a poem' }],\n    stream: true,\n  }),\n});\n\nconst reader = response.body?.getReader();\nconst decoder = new TextDecoder();\n\nwhile (true) {\n  const { done, value } = await reader!.read();\n  if (done) break;\n\n  const chunk = decoder.decode(value);\n  const lines = chunk.split('\\n').filter(line => line.trim() !== '');\n\n  for (const line of lines) {\n    if (line.startsWith('data: ')) {\n      const data = line.slice(6);\n      if (data === '[DONE]') break;\n\n      try {\n        const json = JSON.parse(data);\n        const content = json.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '';\n        console.log(content);\n      } catch (e) {\n        // Skip invalid JSON\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n**Server-Sent Events (SSE) format**:\n```\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-xyz\",\"choices\":[{\"delta\":{\"content\":\"Hello\"}}]}\ndata: [DONE]\n```\n\n**Key Points**: Handle incomplete chunks, `[DONE]` signal, and invalid JSON gracefully.\n\n---\n\n## Function Calling\n\nDefine tools with JSON schema, model invokes them based on context.\n\n### Tool Definition & Request\n```typescript\nconst tools = [{\n  type: 'function',\n  function: {\n    name: 'get_weather',\n    description: 'Get current weather for a location',\n    parameters: {\n      type: 'object',\n      properties: {\n        location: { type: 'string', description: 'City name' },\n        unit: { type: 'string', enum: ['celsius', 'fahrenheit'] }\n      },\n      required: ['location']\n    }\n  }\n}];\n\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'gpt-5.1',\n  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'What is the weather in SF?' }],\n  tools: tools,\n});\n```\n\n### Handle Tool Calls\n```typescript\nconst message = completion.choices[0].message;\n\nif (message.tool_calls) {\n  for (const toolCall of message.tool_calls) {\n    const args = JSON.parse(toolCall.function.arguments);\n    const result = await executeFunction(toolCall.function.name, args);\n\n    // Send result back to model\n    await openai.chat.completions.create({\n      model: 'gpt-5.1',\n      messages: [\n        ...messages,\n        message,\n        {\n          role: 'tool',\n          tool_call_id: toolCall.id,\n          content: JSON.stringify(result)\n        }\n      ],\n      tools: tools,\n    });\n  }\n}\n```\n\n**Loop pattern**: Continue calling API until no tool_calls in response.\n\n---\n\n## Structured Outputs\n\nStructured outputs allow you to enforce JSON schema validation on model responses.\n\n### Using JSON Schema\n\n```typescript\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'gpt-4o', // Note: Structured outputs best supported on GPT-4o\n  messages: [\n    { role: 'user', content: 'Generate a person profile' }\n  ],\n  response_format: {\n    type: 'json_schema',\n    json_schema: {\n      name: 'person_profile',\n      strict: true,\n      schema: {\n        type: 'object',\n        properties: {\n          name: { type: 'string' },\n          age: { type: 'number' },\n          skills: {\n            type: 'array',\n            items: { type: 'string' }\n          }\n        },\n        required: ['name', 'age', 'skills'],\n        additionalProperties: false\n      }\n    }\n  }\n});\n\nconst person = JSON.parse(completion.choices[0].message.content);\n// { name: \"Alice\", age: 28, skills: [\"TypeScript\", \"React\"] }\n```\n\n### JSON Mode (Simple)\n\nFor simpler use cases without strict schema validation:\n\n```typescript\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'gpt-5',\n  messages: [\n    { role: 'user', content: 'List 3 programming languages as JSON' }\n  ],\n  response_format: { type: 'json_object' }\n});\n\nconst data = JSON.parse(completion.choices[0].message.content);\n```\n\n**Important**: When using `response_format`, include \"JSON\" in your prompt to guide the model.\n\n---\n\n## Vision (GPT-4o)\n\nGPT-4o supports image understanding alongside text.\n\n### Image via URL\n\n```typescript\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'gpt-4o',\n  messages: [\n    {\n      role: 'user',\n      content: [\n        { type: 'text', text: 'What is in this image?' },\n        {\n          type: 'image_url',\n          image_url: {\n            url: 'https://example.com/image.jpg'\n          }\n        }\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n});\n```\n\n### Image via Base64\n\n```typescript\nimport fs from 'fs';\n\nconst imageBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./image.jpg');\nconst base64Image = imageBuffer.toString('base64');\n\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'gpt-4o',\n  messages: [\n    {\n      role: 'user',\n      content: [\n        { type: 'text', text: 'Describe this image in detail' },\n        {\n          type: 'image_url',\n          image_url: {\n            url: `data:image/jpeg;base64,${base64Image}`\n          }\n        }\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n});\n```\n\n### Multiple Images\n\n```typescript\nconst completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({\n  model: 'gpt-4o',\n  messages: [\n    {\n      role: 'user',\n      content: [\n        { type: 'text', text: 'Compare these two images' },\n        { type: 'image_url', image_url: { url: 'https://example.com/image1.jpg' } },\n        { type: 'image_url', image_url: { url: 'https://example.com/image2.jpg' } }\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n});\n```\n\n---\n\n## Embeddings API\n\n**Endpoint**: `POST /v1/embeddings`\n\nConvert text to vectors for semantic search and RAG.\n\n### Models\n- **text-embedding-3-large**: 3072 dims (custom: 256-3072), highest quality\n- **text-embedding-3-small**: 1536 dims (custom: 256-1536), cost-effective, recommended\n\n### Basic Request\n```typescript\nconst embedding = await openai.embeddings.create({\n  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',\n  input: 'The food was delicious.',\n});\n// Returns: { data: [{ embedding: [0.002, -0.009, ...] }] }\n```\n\n### Custom Dimensions (OpenAI-Specific)\n```typescript\nconst embedding = await openai.embeddings.create({\n  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',\n  input: 'Sample text',\n  dimensions: 256, // Reduced from 1536 default\n});\n```\n\n**Benefits**: 4x-12x storage reduction, faster search, minimal quality loss.\n\n### Batch Processing\n```typescript\nconst embeddings = await openai.embeddings.create({\n  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',\n  input: ['First doc', 'Second doc', 'Third doc'],\n});\n```\n\n**Limits**: 8192 tokens/input, 300k tokens total across batch, 2048 max array size.\n\n**Key Points**: Use custom dimensions for efficiency, batch up to 2048 docs, cache embeddings (deterministic).\n\n---\n\n## Images API\n\n### Image Generation (DALL-E 3)\n\n**Endpoint**: `POST /v1/images/generations`\n\n```typescript\nconst image = await openai.images.generate({\n  model: 'dall-e-3',\n  prompt: 'A white siamese cat with striking blue eyes',\n  size: '1024x1024', // Also: 1024x1536, 1536x1024, 1024x1792, 1792x1024\n  quality: 'standard', // or 'hd'\n  style: 'vivid', // or 'natural'\n});\n\nconsole.log(image.data[0].url);\nconsole.log(image.data[0].revised_prompt); // DALL-E 3 may revise for safety\n```\n\n**DALL-E 3 Specifics**:\n- Only supports `n: 1` (one image per request)\n- May revise prompts for safety/quality (check `revised_prompt`)\n- URLs expire in 1 hour (use `response_format: 'b64_json'` for persistence)\n\n### Image Editing (GPT-Image-1)\n\n**Endpoint**: `POST /v1/images/edits`\n\n**Important**: Uses `multipart/form-data`, not JSON.\n\n```typescript\nimport FormData from 'form-data';\n\nconst formData = new FormData();\nformData.append('model', 'gpt-image-1');\nformData.append('image', fs.createReadStream('./woman.jpg'));\nformData.append('image_2', fs.createReadStream('./logo.png')); // Optional composite\nformData.append('prompt', 'Add the logo to the fabric.');\nformData.append('input_fidelity', 'high'); // low|medium|high\nformData.append('format', 'png'); // Supports transparency\nformData.append('background', 'transparent'); // transparent|white|black\n\nconst response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/images/edits', {\n  method: 'POST',\n  headers: {\n    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`,\n    ...formData.getHeaders(),\n  },\n  body: formData,\n});\n```\n\n**GPT-Image-1 Features**: Supports transparency (PNG/WebP), compositing with image_2, output compression control.\n\n---\n\n## Audio API\n\n### Whisper Transcription\n\n**Endpoint**: `POST /v1/audio/transcriptions`\n\n```typescript\nconst transcription = await openai.audio.transcriptions.create({\n  file: fs.createReadStream('./audio.mp3'),\n  model: 'whisper-1',\n});\n// Returns: { text: \"Transcribed text...\" }\n```\n\n**Formats**: mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav, webm\n\n### Text-to-Speech (TTS)\n\n**Endpoint**: `POST /v1/audio/speech`\n\n**Models**:\n- **tts-1**: Standard quality, lowest latency\n- **tts-1-hd**: High definition audio\n- **gpt-4o-mini-tts**: Supports voice instructions (November 2024), streaming\n\n**11 Voices**: alloy, ash, ballad, coral, echo, fable, onyx, nova, sage, shimmer, verse\n\n```typescript\nconst mp3 = await openai.audio.speech.create({\n  model: 'tts-1',\n  voice: 'alloy',\n  input: 'Text to speak (max 4096 chars)',\n  speed: 1.0, // 0.25-4.0\n  response_format: 'mp3', // mp3|opus|aac|flac|wav|pcm\n});\n```\n\n### Voice Instructions (gpt-4o-mini-tts Only)\n\n```typescript\nconst speech = await openai.audio.speech.create({\n  model: 'gpt-4o-mini-tts',\n  voice: 'nova',\n  input: 'Welcome to support.',\n  instructions: 'Speak in a calm, professional tone.', // Custom voice control\n});\n```\n\n### Streaming TTS (gpt-4o-mini-tts Only)\n\n```typescript\nconst response = await fetch('https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/speech', {\n  method: 'POST',\n  headers: {\n    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`,\n    'Content-Type': 'application/json',\n  },\n  body: JSON.stringify({\n    model: 'gpt-4o-mini-tts',\n    voice: 'nova',\n    input: 'Long text...',\n    stream_format: 'sse', // Server-Sent Events\n  }),\n});\n```\n\n**Note**: `instructions` and `stream_format: \"sse\"` only work with gpt-4o-mini-tts.\n\n---\n\n## Moderation API\n\n**Endpoint**: `POST /v1/moderations`\n\nCheck content across 11 safety categories.\n\n```typescript\nconst moderation = await openai.moderations.create({\n  model: 'omni-moderation-latest',\n  input: 'Text to moderate',\n});\n\nconsole.log(moderation.results[0].flagged);\nconsole.log(moderation.results[0].categories);\nconsole.log(moderation.results[0].category_scores); // 0.0-1.0\n```\n\n### 11 Safety Categories\n\n1. **sexual**: Sexual content\n2. **hate**: Hateful content based on identity\n3. **harassment**: Bullying, intimidation\n4. **self-harm**: Promoting self-harm\n5. **sexual/minors**: Child sexualization (CSAM)\n6. **hate/threatening**: Violent threats based on identity\n7. **violence/graphic**: Extreme gore\n8. **self-harm/intent**: Suicidal ideation\n9. **self-harm/instructions**: Self-harm how-to guides\n10. **harassment/threatening**: Violent personal threats\n11. **violence**: Violence threats/glorification\n\n**Scores**: 0.0 (low confidence) to 1.0 (high confidence)\n\n### Batch Moderation\n\n```typescript\nconst moderation = await openai.moderations.create({\n  model: 'omni-moderation-latest',\n  input: ['Text 1', 'Text 2', 'Text 3'],\n});\n```\n\n**Best Practices**: Use lower thresholds for severe categories (sexual/minors: 0.1, self-harm/intent: 0.2), batch requests, fail closed on errors.\n\n---\n\n## Realtime API (Voice/Audio)\n\nLow-latency voice and audio interactions via WebSocket/WebRTC. GA August 28, 2025.\n\n**Update (Feb 2025)**: Concurrent session limit removed - unlimited simultaneous connections now supported.\n\n### WebSocket Connection\n\n```typescript\nconst ws = new WebSocket('wss://api.openai.com/v1/realtime', {\n  headers: {\n    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY}`,\n    'OpenAI-Beta': 'realtime=v1',\n  },\n});\n\nws.onopen = () => {\n  ws.send(JSON.stringify({\n    type: 'session.update',\n    session: {\n      voice: 'alloy',  // or: echo, fable, onyx, nova, shimmer, marin, cedar\n      instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant',\n      input_audio_transcription: { model: 'whisper-1' },\n    },\n  }));\n};\n\nws.onmessage = (event) => {\n  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);\n  switch (data.type) {\n    case 'response.audio.delta':\n      // Handle audio chunk (base64 encoded)\n      playAudioChunk(data.delta);\n      break;\n    case 'response.text.delta':\n      // Handle text transcript\n      console.log(data.delta);\n      break;\n  }\n};\n\n// Send user audio\nws.send(JSON.stringify({\n  type: 'input_audio_buffer.append',\n  audio: base64AudioData,\n}));\n```\n\n### Model\n\n- **gpt-realtime**: Production model ($32/1M input, $64/1M output)\n- **gpt-realtime-mini**: Smaller, faster variant\n\n### Features\n\n- Voice activity detection\n- Interruption handling\n- Function calling while speaking\n- 13 voices (including new: marin, cedar)\n- WebRTC, WebSocket, SIP connections\n\n---\n\n## Batch API (50% Cost Savings)\n\nProcess large volumes with 24-hour maximum turnaround at 50% lower cost.\n\n**Note**: While the completion window is 24 hours maximum, jobs often complete much faster (reports show completion in under 1 hour for tasks estimated at 10+ hours).\n\n### Create Batch\n\n```typescript\n// 1. Create JSONL file with requests\nconst requests = [\n  { custom_id: 'req-1', method: 'POST', url: '/v1/chat/completions',\n    body: { model: 'gpt-5.1', messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello 1' }] } },\n  { custom_id: 'req-2', method: 'POST', url: '/v1/chat/completions',\n    body: { model: 'gpt-5.1', messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello 2' }] } },\n];\n\n// 2. Upload file\nconst file = await openai.files.create({\n  file: new File([requests.map(r => JSON.stringify(r)).join('\\n')], 'batch.jsonl'),\n  purpose: 'batch',\n});\n\n// 3. Create batch\nconst batch = await openai.batches.create({\n  input_file_id: file.id,\n  endpoint: '/v1/chat/completions',\n  completion_window: '24h',\n});\n\nconsole.log(batch.id); // batch_abc123\n```\n\n### Check Status\n\n```typescript\nconst batch = await openai.batches.retrieve('batch_abc123');\n\nconsole.log(batch.status);  // validating, in_progress, completed, failed\nconsole.log(batch.request_counts); // { total, completed, failed }\n\nif (batch.status === 'completed') {\n  const results = await openai.files.content(batch.output_file_id);\n  // Parse JSONL results\n}\n```\n\n### When to Use Batch API\n\n| Use Case | Batch API? |\n|----------|------------|\n| Content moderation at scale | ✅ |\n| Document processing (embeddings) | ✅ |\n| Bulk summarization | ✅ |\n| Real-time chat | ❌ Use Chat API |\n| Streaming responses | ❌ Use Chat API |\n\n---\n\n## Error Handling & Rate Limits\n\n### Common Errors\n\n- **401**: Invalid API key\n- **429**: Rate limit exceeded (implement exponential backoff)\n- **500/503**: Server errors (retry with backoff)\n\n```typescript\nasync function completionWithRetry(params, maxRetries = 3) {\n  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {\n    try {\n      return await openai.chat.completions.create(params);\n    } catch (error) {\n      if (error.status === 429 && i < maxRetries - 1) {\n        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, Math.pow(2, i) * 1000));\n        continue;\n      }\n      throw error;\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Rate Limit Headers (OpenAI-Specific)\n\n```typescript\nresponse.headers.get('x-ratelimit-limit-requests');\nresponse.headers.get('x-ratelimit-remaining-requests');\nresponse.headers.get('x-ratelimit-reset-requests');\n```\n\n**Limits**: Based on RPM (Requests/Min), TPM (Tokens/Min), IPM (Images/Min). Varies by tier and model.\n\n---\n\n## Common Mistakes & Gotchas\n\n### Mistake #1: Using Wrong Model Name \"gpt-5.1-mini\"\n\n**Error**: `400 The requested model 'gpt-5.1-mini' does not exist`\n**Source**: [GitHub Issue #1706](https://github.com/openai/openai-node/issues/1706)\n\n**Wrong**:\n```typescript\nmodel: 'gpt-5.1-mini' // Does not exist\n```\n\n**Correct**:\n```typescript\nmodel: 'gpt-5-mini' // Correct (no .1 suffix)\n```\n\nAvailable GPT-5 series models:\n- `gpt-5`, `gpt-5-mini`, `gpt-5-nano`\n- `gpt-5.1`, `gpt-5.2`\n- Note: No `gpt-5.1-mini` or `gpt-5.2-mini` - mini variant doesn't have .1/.2 versions\n\n### Mistake #2: Embeddings Dimension Mismatch\n\n**Error**: `ValueError: shapes (0,256) and (1536,) not aligned`\n\nEnsure vector database dimensions match embeddings API `dimensions` parameter:\n\n```typescript\n// ❌ Wrong - missing dimensions, returns 1536 default\nconst embedding = await openai.embeddings.create({\n  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',\n  input: 'text',\n});\n\n// ✅ Correct - specify dimensions to match database\nconst embedding = await openai.embeddings.create({\n  model: 'text-embedding-3-small',\n  input: 'text',\n  dimensions: 256, // Match your vector database config\n});\n```\n\n### Mistake #3: Forgetting reasoning_effort When Upgrading to GPT-5.1/5.2\n\n**Issue**: GPT-5.1 and GPT-5.2 default to `reasoning_effort: 'none'` (breaking change from GPT-5)\n\n```typescript\n// GPT-5 (defaults to 'medium')\nmodel: 'gpt-5' // Automatic reasoning\n\n// GPT-5.1 (defaults to 'none')\nmodel: 'gpt-5.1' // NO reasoning unless specified!\nreasoning_effort: 'medium' // Must add explicitly\n```\n\n---\n\n## TypeScript Gotchas\n\n### Gotcha #1: usage Field May Be Null\n\n**Issue**: [GitHub Issue #1402](https://github.com/openai/openai-node/issues/1402)\n\nWith `strictNullChecks: true`, the `usage` field may cause type errors:\n\n```typescript\n// ❌ TypeScript error with strictNullChecks\nconst tokens = completion.usage.total_tokens;\n\n// ✅ Use optional chaining or null check\nconst tokens = completion.usage?.total_tokens ?? 0;\n\n// Or explicit check\nif (completion.usage) {\n  const tokens = completion.usage.total_tokens;\n}\n```\n\n### Gotcha #2: text_tokens and image_tokens Not Typed\n\n**Issue**: [GitHub Issue #1718](https://github.com/openai/openai-node/issues/1718)\n\nMultimodal requests include `text_tokens` and `image_tokens` fields not in TypeScript types:\n\n```typescript\n// These fields exist but aren't typed\nconst usage = completion.usage as any;\nconsole.log(usage.text_tokens);\nconsole.log(usage.image_tokens);\n```\n\n### Gotcha #3: Zod Unions Broken in v4.1.13+\n\n**Issue**: [GitHub Issue #1709](https://github.com/openai/openai-node/issues/1709)\n\nUsing `zodResponseFormat()` with Zod 4.1.13+ breaks union type conversion:\n\n```typescript\n// ❌ Broken with Zod 4.1.13+\nconst schema = z.object({\n  status: z.union([z.literal('success'), z.literal('error')]),\n});\n\n// ✅ Workaround: Use enum instead\nconst schema = z.object({\n  status: z.enum(['success', 'error']),\n});\n```\n\n**Alternatives**:\n1. Downgrade to Zod 4.1.12\n2. Use enum instead of union\n3. Manually construct JSON schema\n\n---\n\n## Production Best Practices\n\n**Security**: Never expose API keys client-side, use server-side proxy, store keys in environment variables.\n\n**Performance**: Stream responses >100 tokens, set max_tokens appropriately, cache deterministic responses.\n\n**Cost**: Use gpt-5.1 with reasoning_effort: 'none' for simple tasks, gpt-5.1 with 'high' for complex reasoning.\n\n---\n\n## Relationship to openai-responses\n\n### openai-api (This Skill)\n\n**Traditional/stateless API** for:\n- ✅ Simple chat completions\n- ✅ Embeddings for RAG/search\n- ✅ Images (DALL-E 3)\n- ✅ Audio (Whisper/TTS)\n- ✅ Content moderation\n- ✅ One-off text generation\n- ✅ Cloudflare Workers / edge deployment\n\n**Characteristics**:\n- Stateless (you manage conversation history)\n- No built-in tools\n- Maximum flexibility\n- Works everywhere (Node.js, browsers, Workers, etc.)\n\n### openai-responses Skill\n\n**Stateful/agentic API** for:\n- ✅ Automatic conversation state management\n- ✅ Preserved reasoning (Chain of Thought) across turns\n- ✅ Built-in tools (Code Interpreter, File Search, Web Search, Image Generation)\n- ✅ MCP server integration\n- ✅ Background mode for long tasks\n- ✅ Polymorphic outputs\n\n**Characteristics**:\n- Stateful (OpenAI manages conversation)\n- Built-in tools included\n- Better for agentic workflows\n- Higher-level abstraction\n\n### When to Use Which?\n\n| Use Case | Use openai-api | Use openai-responses |\n|----------|----------------|---------------------|\n| Simple chat | ✅ | ❌ |\n| RAG/embeddings | ✅ | ❌ |\n| Image generation | ✅ | ✅ |\n| Audio processing | ✅ | ❌ |\n| Agentic workflows | ❌ | ✅ |\n| Multi-turn reasoning | ❌ | ✅ |\n| Background tasks | ❌ | ✅ |\n| Custom tools only | ✅ | ❌ |\n| Built-in + custom tools | ❌ | ✅ |\n\n**Use both**: Many apps use openai-api for embeddings/images/audio and openai-responses for conversational agents.\n\n---\n\n## Dependencies\n\n```bash\nnpm install openai@6.16.0\n```\n\n**Environment**: `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...`\n\n**TypeScript**: Fully typed with included definitions.\n\n---\n\n## Official Documentation\n\n### Core APIs\n- **Chat Completions**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create\n- **Embeddings**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/embeddings\n- **Images**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/images\n- **Audio**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/audio\n- **Moderation**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/moderations\n\n### Guides\n- **GPT-5 Guide**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/latest-model\n- **Function Calling**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling\n- **Structured Outputs**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs\n- **Vision**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision\n- **Rate Limits**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits\n- **Error Codes**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes\n\n### SDKs\n- **Node.js SDK**: https://github.com/openai/openai-node\n- **Python SDK**: https://github.com/openai/openai-python\n\n---\n\n## What's Next?\n\n**✅ Skill Complete - Production Ready**\n\nAll API sections documented:\n- ✅ Chat Completions API (GPT-5, GPT-4o, streaming, function calling)\n- ✅ Embeddings API (text-embedding-3-small, text-embedding-3-large, RAG patterns)\n- ✅ Images API (DALL-E 3 generation, GPT-Image-1 editing)\n- ✅ Audio API (Whisper transcription, TTS with 11 voices)\n- ✅ Moderation API (11 safety categories)\n\n**Remaining Tasks**:\n1.
