I am trying to run my API but I can’t select a model. I have credits on my account. What is the issue?
Nothing for Organization or Project in the top left? Looks like your screenshot is cut off.
I’d check that first.

Welcome to the dev forum @Cover
Make sure you have verified your phone number and loaded credits before you proceed to consume the API.

Which means finally generating an API key after you’ve set up the account… I would recommend you create a user key, which you can find here. This is what follows the legacy pattern for API keys, and should be where you are prompted to verify a mobile phone number.
The non-display of models is odd - even those in a useless “free-tier” were given basic models.
You can check your models elsewhere - the rate limits screen that shows the rates for all available account models, along with your tier. https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits
I have an API key and have verified the account. Does OpenAI have a customer success email?
Hi SPS. Thanks. I have credits and have a verified phone number.
Communication with OpenAI customer service, needed for account issues, is through the help menu in the sidebar of the platform, which brings up a messages bot that first asks about your area of concern.
You need to make it understood that this is not confusion - that you have exhausted all options, like trying a different browser without extensions that may interrupt the user interface, like clearing the site cache in the browser, ensuring that firewall software or appliance that could block API calls the playground uses such as to get the model listing are not interrupted and you can see the success in the browser’s web developer network tools of the call made to https://api.openai.com/dashboard/models when the playground is loading, and other advanced diagnostics you can do yourself.
davinci-002 is a completion model, that acts differently than “chat” and uses a different API endpoint.
If you want to see and interact with that model in the playground, you’ll have to use the “completions” option in the selection sidebar of which playground it is that you would use.
davinci-002 is a pure base completion engine, needing special techniques - like a stop sequence so it doesn’t keep writing forever. A better completions model is to enable and experiment with gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct, which will answer a question and then be done (but there are better models now).
