+# OpenAI Passthrough
+
+Pass-through endpoints for `/openai`
+
+## Overview
+
+| Feature | Supported | Notes | 
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| Cost Tracking | ❌ | Not supported |
+| Logging | ✅ | Works across all integrations |
+| Streaming | ✅ | Fully supported |
+
+### When to use this?
+
+- For 90% of your use cases, you should use the [native LiteLLM OpenAI Integration](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers/openai) (`/chat/completions`, `/embeddings`, `/completions`, `/images`, `/batches`, etc.)
+- Use this passthrough to call less popular or newer OpenAI endpoints that LiteLLM doesn't fully support yet, such as `/assistants`, `/threads`, `/vector_stores`
+
+Simply replace `https://api.openai.com` with `LITELLM_PROXY_BASE_URL/openai`
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Assistants API
+
+#### Create OpenAI Client
+
+Make sure you do the following:
+- Point `base_url` to your `LITELLM_PROXY_BASE_URL/openai`
+- Use your `LITELLM_API_KEY` as the `api_key`
+
+```python
+import openai
+
+client = openai.OpenAI(
+    base_url="http://0.0.0.0:4000/openai",  # <your-proxy-url>/openai
+    api_key="sk-anything"  # <your-proxy-api-key>
+)
+```
+
+#### Create an Assistant
+
+```python
+# Create an assistant
+assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
+    name="Math Tutor",
+    instructions="You are a math tutor. Help solve equations.",
+    model="gpt-4o",
+)
+```
+
+#### Create a Thread
+```python
+# Create a thread
+thread = client.beta.threads.create()
+```
+
+#### Add a Message to the Thread
+```python
+# Add a message
+message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
+    thread_id=thread.id,
+    role="user",
+    content="Solve 3x + 11 = 14",
+)
+```
+
+#### Run the Assistant
+```python
+# Create a run to get the assistant's response
+run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
+    thread_id=thread.id,
+    assistant_id=assistant.id,
+)
+
+# Check run status
+run_status = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
+    thread_id=thread.id,
+    run_id=run.id
+)
+```
+
+#### Retrieve Messages
+```python
+# List messages after the run completes
+messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
+    thread_id=thread.id
+)
+```
+
+#### Delete the Assistant
+
+```python
+# Delete the assistant when done
+client.beta.assistants.delete(assistant.id)
+```
