Overview

Management APIs for Assistant, Thread, Message, Run, and Run Step

The Assistant API is being deprecated. We recommend migrating to the Responses API, which includes built-in tools and multi-turn context management as an alternative.
The Assistant API is used to build and run Assistants (a type of LLM application), covering the management of five resource types: Assistant, Thread, Message, Run, and Run Step. All instances are stored on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio servers and currently have no expiration date.

The Assistant API does not provide an endpoint to cancel a running Run. Runs.wait is an SDK-side polling method, not a standalone HTTP endpoint.
