Hey @debianmaster, can you please share your code so that I can help you better?

[lukasvanek1]

Try switching from chat.completions.create() to beta.chat.completions.parse()?

Hey @debianmaster, structured output right now doesn't work with tools and the team is working on adding this feature. Thank you for pointing this out!
