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](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/text-generation-models). ---

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](https://platform.openai.com/playground/chat) for you? ---
