Unable to change model back to o1-mini after attaching an image

I have been using o1-mini and o1-preview in a chat for a few days now and tonight I decided to try changing the model to gpt-4o so that I could attach an image to the chat, I now cannot change the model back to o1-mini because it doesn’t currently accept images. I know it’s a longshot, but is there anything I can do?

Welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do at this time once you switch to 4o as they’re set-up a bit differently on the backend. This might change in the future, though.

To be honest, I have the same idea. You mean that you can’t see the thinking process when using o1-mini or o1-preview. And the error rate is also very high

I have this problem, and it has stopped me from using o1 for a long time.

It may be a bug, I hope it can be fixed

Now it’s fine again, intermittently

I managed to generate an image and switch back to o1 models by:

  1. first i’ve used o1 for a longer chat
  2. switched to 4o model and prompted it to generate an image.
  3. saved the image to my hard drive
  4. edited the propt(s) that generated an image to NOT generate an image but something else instead
  5. now that there were no longer images in the chat, i was able to switch back to the o1 model

@lassemon open a new chat with o1 and say something like “remember this thing that we were chatting about? this was the most recent thing you said about that chat " wkegfawudgsdhjg” let’s continue from there and pick that longer chat up again
