Tier 5 Access, But No o1 Models?! API Problem or Bug? Let's Figure This Out!

API
1

Hey everyone,

I’m a Tier 5 user, and according to OpenAI’s 9/12 announcement, Tier 5 users should now have access to the o1 models via API. However, despite my status, I’m still unable to access any o1 models—neither in the dashboard (not shown as options in assistants, but does in playground) nor through API.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • :key: Tier 5 Access: Confirmed in my account.
  • :date: Announcement Date: 9/12, O1 models (e.g., gpt-4o) should be available.
  • :hourglass_flowing_sand: Current Date: It’s 9/20, and I’m still getting errors via API.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or know of a fix? Is this a bug, or a rollout delay? Any help would be appreciated!

Here are the errors I get:

An unexpected error occurred: Error code: 400 - {‘error’: {‘message’: “The requested model ‘o1-mini-2024-09-12’ cannot be used with the Assistants API.”, ‘type’: ‘invalid_request_error’, ‘param’: ‘model’, ‘code’: ‘unsupported_model’}}

Hi @_AIIS !

It’s currently not supported under Assistants API, see here.

But you can use it as normal ChatCompletions API.

Read carefully the API error message you just posted.

This solution has your answer also.

You can start using it on chat completions, with significant restrictions on the message role and parameters accepted.

Ahhh, I see, so it’s not available for Assistants, only Completions. OpenAI is horrible about getting clear information out. Thanks!
