It's not enabled by default for their function calling API. So, hallucination is possible.

You have to set 'strict' to True manually to use the same grammar-based sampling they use for structured outputs.

Re:Show HN: I made a website to semantically search ArXiv papers on Thursday December 26, 2024 @04:08AM (#42514042)
Try this trick that I learned from Cohere: - Fetch top 10*k (i.e. 100) results using the hamming distance - Rerank by taking dot product between query embedding (full precision) and binary doc embeddings - Show top-10 results after re-ranking

OpenAI recommends using o1 to generate the verbose plan and then chain the verbose output to a cheaper model (e.g. gpt-4o-mini) to convert it into structured data / function calls / summary etc. They call it planner-executor pattern. [1]
