Hi There,
Can you change the model of your chats(s) when you are with a Project (folder)?
The model selector is no longer in the top LEFT.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!
This is an excellent first question for those new to projects.
The current OpenAI ChatGPT FAQ for projects
Using Projects in ChatGPT
notes
Please note that chats in Projects use GPT-4o, and the model cannot be changed.

That’s a shame. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

That is pretty strange and unintuitive

Yes this makes the whole Projects feature unusable which is a shame.

The workaround I’ve seen mentioned in the community is to start a new conversation with a different model and later move it into the projects folder.
I expect this restriction will be lifted at some point in the future.
Maybe it’s an option to manually select the model for the next reply as another workaround, like one can do in regular ChatGPT conversations?
My apologies if the answer appears obvious. I haven’t worked with the new projects feature, yet.

Yeah I just thought to myself “I’ll finally organise all these chats into a useful workspace”. Then I woke this morning to go and continue my coding work, only to find I could not change model.
I regularly work with with the basic model, but then, when it fails, switch to the o1 model to solve the problem, and then switch back. Since I can’t now switch back and forth within a chat, this makes the workspace feature unusable with my workflow.
Or is the idea that the user has different chats with different models in the one workspace, and each chat has access to the other chats in the workspace, so that the models are always in the context of that one workspace?
