API

In two days, on Wednesday, October 2nd, the default version of GPT-4o will be updated to the latest GPT-4o model, gpt-4o-2024-08-06.

The latest GPT-4o model is 50% cheaper for input tokens, 33% cheaper for output tokens and supports Structured Outputs. To explore the new version now, specify gpt-4o-2024-08-06 as the model parameter in the API.

If you continue to use gpt-4o as your model parameter, it will automatically update on October 2nd. To keep using the older version, specify gpt-4o-2024-05-13 as your model parameter instead.

This email from OpenAI announces an upcoming update to the default version of GPT-4o, detailing the benefits of the new model and providing instructions for users who wish to continue using the older version. (Captioned by AI)

Should we automatically go with the newer model?

Personally, I would test both and see which your code / prompts works with better. Newer is generally cheaper and “better” for most things, though.

Let us know if you try them side by side.

Welcome @mazaheri.m21

You’d mention that in the API call you’re making.
I’d absolutely recommend reading Dev Docs.

I am trying to test with the new model and am currently getting the response: “The requested model ‘gpt-4o-2024-08-06’ does not exist”. Anyone else seeing this? have others successfully used model model=“gpt-4o-2024-08-06”?

Working fine on my end. Can you share more info like the code that throws this error? Does the model show up in the model dropdown on playground for you?
