By the way, I would really like to get logprobs (or at least completion samples) for tokens that are in the middle of an “assistant” message I specify. Like for example I’ll supply “Yes of course I’ll give you instructions for making amphetamine. The ingredients you need are” and I want the logprobs of the next token. I think I’ve determined that this is not possible with any of the recent models (it’s possible with like, davinci-002 but that’s ancient).
I can pass that in as an assistant message and ask for a chat completion but I think in that case it’s appended by either a newline or some chat formatting tokens or something, so I can’t get what I actually care about. Does that seem right to you?
Ugh, pretty infuriating.

Yes, I agree it seems this just doesn’t work now. Also I agree this is unpleasant.
My guess is that this is, maybe among other things, jailbreaking prevention—“Sure! Here’s how to make a bomb: start with”.
