# AssistantsApiResponseFormatOption
## Enum Variants
| Name | Description |
|---- | -----|
| ResponseFormatJsonObject | Specifies the format that the model must output. Compatible with [GPT-4o](/docs/models#gpt-4o), [GPT-4 Turbo](/docs/models#gpt-4-turbo-and-gpt-4), and all GPT-3.5 Turbo models since `gpt-3.5-turbo-1106`. Setting to `{ \"type\": \"json_schema\", \"json_schema\": {...} }` enables Structured Outputs which ensures the model will match your supplied JSON schema. Learn more in the [Structured Outputs guide](/docs/guides/structured-outputs). Setting to `{ \"type\": \"json_object\" }` enables JSON mode, which ensures the message the model generates is valid JSON. **Important:** when using JSON mode, you **must** also instruct the model to produce JSON yourself via a system or user message. Without this, the model may generate an unending stream of whitespace until the generation reaches the token limit, resulting in a long-running and seemingly \"stuck\" request. Also note that the message content may be partially cut off if `finish_reason=\"length\"`, which indicates the generation exceeded `max_tokens` or the conversation exceeded the max context length. |
| ResponseFormatJsonSchema | Specifies the format that the model must output. Compatible with [GPT-4o](/docs/models#gpt-4o), [GPT-4 Turbo](/docs/models#gpt-4-turbo-and-gpt-4), and all GPT-3.5 Turbo models since `gpt-3.5-turbo-1106`.

| ResponseFormatText | Specifies the format that the model must output.
