Does a single Assistant GPT instance support multi-threading?

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I have a single Assistant GPT instance that is handling multiple threads based on a shared configuration.
I’m trying to determine if I need to create a new assistant instance for each thread to achieve parallelism, or if the existing assistant is designed to support multi-threading out of the box.
The current implementation includes a component where functions like onSwitchToNewThread and onSwitchToThread manage creating and switching between threads. This suggests that parallel conversations might be handled by tracking each thread’s unique identifier without needing multiple instances.
How should I proceed to effectively manage parallel conversations with Assistant GPT?

The design of Assistant GPT supports multi-threading out of the box. You can handle multiple threads using the same assistant instance as long as you provide the appropriate thread identifier (and manage thread switching if needed).
For example, in the provided component, the runtime uses functions like onSwitchToNewThread and onSwitchToThread to handle creating and switching between threads. This means that for parallel conversations, you don't need to instantiate a new assistant—each thread is tracked independently through its unique thread ID while still using the same underlying assistant configuration.
So, to achieve parallelism, simply manage your threads appropriately without creating a new assistant for each one.
