The model `gpt-5` does not exist or you do not have access to it.\

I can’t access gpt-5 and other v5 models through the API. I first got a message saying I need to verify my org, which I did. But now I’m getting a new error message:

> curl --request POST   --url https://api.openai.com/v1/responses   --header "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"   --header 'Content-type: application/json'   --data '{
        "model": "gpt-5",
        "input": "How much gold would it take to coat the Statue of Liberty in a 1mm layer?"
}'
{
  "error": {
    "message": "The model `gpt-5` does not exist or you do not have access to it.",
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": "model_not_found"
  }
}

It’s already been like 15 minutes after verifying that I still can’t access these.

GPT-5 Rollout

We are gradually rolling out GPT-5 to ensure stability during launch. Some users may not yet see GPT-5 in their account as we increase availability in stages.

I’d see it here:

I’ve been verified for many months but get the same errors. It must not be rolled out yet.

We haven’t started roll-out yet! I will post in Announcements when available, and an email blast will go out as well.

openai has done it again, you guys outperformed the world. congratulations to everyone involved. just tested it on a couple of things via the api. i guess those 80-120h a week really did pay off. best of luck on the launch, i see you all on the other side, godspeed.

I had GPT-5 - started testing, then it disappeared & I am back with the previous options of GPT-4o and variants.

I had only run about ten prompts when it vanished.

Did OpenAI hit a pothole?

You’re not alone – same thing happened to me.
I was already deep into testing GPT‑5 (and starting to get really excited), and suddenly – poof – gone without a trace.
Back to GPT‑4o like nothing ever happened.
It’s like the AI gods gave us a taste… then hit the undo button.
Here’s hoping this was just a temporary rollback or a phased rollout misfire. Fingers crossed!

Here in Scotland. Gpt5 coming up in the YouTube feed; nothing in the app or web versions coming up ! Wondering if it’s because I used up all my agent messages for the month?
