Why can't gpt-5.5 create keys

I asked gpt-5.5 to create 10 random key of 48 letters, but it gives me this

I don’t think they are 48 letters and why the 6-10 keys are so similar

Hey @MuskZhou, you can create API keys from the OpenAI Platform dashboard at platform.openai.com.

Once you’re there, open the API keys section and create a new key from your account/project.

You can also create API keys using the Codex plugin for Developers.

Or are you looking for something completely different?

Hi @MuskZhou,

Thanks for sharing this. I’d like to clarify what you’re trying to generate so we can point you in the right direction.

Are you trying to create OpenAI Platform API keys, or are you trying to generate your own non-OpenAI random keys with a specific length, such as 48 characters?

If you need OpenAI Platform API keys, they should be created through the official Platform methods suggested by @VeitB and @OpenAI_Support. Model-generated text should not be used as a substitute for creating actual OpenAI API keys.

If you’re trying to generate custom, non-OpenAI keys, the best approach is to provide a clear specification and use code to generate them, ideally with a cryptographically secure random generator. For example, you can specify the required length, allowed characters, and number of keys, then ask Codex to use code interpreter for the actual key generation.

Regarding the screenshot: if the requested output was 10 random 48-character keys, and keys 6–10 look very similar or do not appear to be 48 characters long, that likely means the model produced illustrative text rather than reliably generated random keys. For key generation, it’s better to rely on code rather than direct model output.

Following up on this excellent reply:

There is a way to create OpenAI API keys through ChatGPT. You need to connect to the OpenAI Platform App, which allows you to connect your ChatGPT account to the Developer Platform and create API keys.
