gpt-4-1106-preview model is failing intermittently with this error

```auto
NotFoundError: Error code: 404 - {'error': {'message': 'This is not a chat model and thus not supported in the v1/chat/completions endpoint. Did you mean to use v1/completions?', 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': 'model', 'code': None}}

```

We can see in screenshot first one is failed and next same query is passed.  
Can anyone help me with this issue, from past 2 hrs we are facing this issue.  
It was working fine for past 6 months

Thanks.

Having the same issue since today, killing production… My guess is OpenAI changed their backend without any notice?

Bump, so we get notified.

Strange, it still appears as a valid model in the official gpt4 list:

It appears to be working again!

Guess wrong code pushed to main? lol

What happened there? Cost us time and money.
