Reusing conversations in OpenaiChat provicer

[molkemon]

Hello, I have found several issues on this already but in none is a solution that I can understand.

Obviously I can just include the entire message history in the request, and this works, but it takes a lot of tokens and also it creates a new conversation on the chatgpt homepage for each turn which is obviously undesireable.

I want to reuse an existing conversation, but it seems no matter what I do, it will always generates a new conv.

I have tried several things, including this, but that does not seem to do anything (the vars do have the correct ids though, so that works)

      completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
        provider: "OpenaiChat",
        model: "gpt-5",
        temperature: temp,
        messages: messagesToSend,
        stream: false,
        conversation: {
          conversation_id: g4fState.conversation_id || undefined,
          parent_message_id: g4fState.parent_message_id || undefined,
          user_id: g4fState.user_id || undefined
        },
        conversation_id:  g4fState.conversation_id || undefined,
        parent_message_id: g4fState.parent_message_id || undefined        
      });

A clear example on how to do this would be appreciated, the documentation for the js does not mention conversation history at all.

Hello,

To effectively manage the context of our ongoing dialogue, the following approach is recommended.

import g4f
import asyncio
from g4f.client import AsyncClient
from g4f.Provider import OpenaiAccount

async def main():
    client = AsyncClient(
        provider=OpenaiAccount
    )

    response = await client.chat.completions.create(
        messages="I was born on 01-01-1999.",
    )

    response = await client.chat.completions.create(
        messages="How old i am? I told you before.",
        conversation=response.conversation
    )

    print(response.conversation.__dict__)
    print(response.choices[0].message.content)

asyncio.run(main())
