API Changes for Developers

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
GPT-5 with multimodal input
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "Analyze this architecture diagram and suggest improvements"},
                {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/arch.png"}}
            ]
        }
    ],
    max_tokens=4096
