ChatGPT `Error in message stream` when attaching images in chat

I noticed this because I keep getting errors when transcribing my handwritten notes (something I’ve done hundreds of times in the last year).

The error seems to occur with image files only (PDF and JSON files seemed to respond without issue).

The error effectively prevents GPTs from using the image as context in actions. The issue also seems to impact all ChatGPT (the chat screenshot below shows regular 4o without invoking a GPT).

The error seems to effectively prevent ChatGPT from utilizing the image as context.

The error message is:

data: {"message": null, "error": "Error in message stream"}

Below is a request object, some data streams, and a screenshot of the error.

Thank you for your post. The same problem has been bothering me for two days.

Same here. I first noticed it yesterday, very early AM EST. The issue seems to line up with the release of the advanced voice mode :palm_tree:

Same here. Every chat with any kind of image is broken.

Same here, for the past 4 days

having the same issue tbh, but im not seeing anything on the operations site.

hey there, same here too it’s going for two days now, can’t find any solution to it, is there a way here to alert the dev team about this??

experiencing the same error here with attached images to a prompt

Seems to be working for me now :crossed_fingers::palm_tree:

Thanks for letting us know! And glad it’s working again. Could’ve been a blip or something. I’ll keep my ears open about what might’ve happened, but no promises. :slight_smile:

Hope things are good for you. Don’t see you around much anymore. Just busy, I hope!?

it is still happening for me, and doesn’t need an attachment to happen . . . just regular chat, and it bonks at the end of its response every time.
