The GPT-4 model's internet access feature has been disabled."


Description: I am experiencing an issue where the internet access feature of the GPT-4 model seems to be disabled, even though it should be enabled according to previous interactions. This functionality is important for retrieving real-time data, such as cryptocurrency prices, exchange rates, and the latest news, which are vital for certain use cases.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Request real-time data or queries that require internet access (e.g., “What is the latest BTC price?” or “What is the current USD to EUR exchange rate?”).
  2. Observe that the system is unable to retrieve or provide any live data, despite the queries being valid.
  3. The model responds with the message that real-time data cannot be retrieved or that internet access is unavailable.

Expected Behavior:

  • The model should be able to access the internet and provide real-time data, as per the functionality that was previously enabled.

Actual Behavior:

  • The model fails to provide real-time information and indicates that it cannot access external sources of data.

Environment:

  • Platform: OpenAI GPT-4
  • Model Version: GPT-4
  • Date/Time of Occurrence: [2024/12/19/utc+8 20:49]

Additional Information: This issue seems to be a recent development. In earlier interactions, the model was able to provide real-time data from the web, but it seems to have stopped functioning as expected.
