Why is the 'gpt-4-1106-preview' model unavailable despite its recent release?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I've been trying to use the new GPT-4 model released yesterday, but my API call returns a 400 error stating that the requested model 'gpt-4-1106-preview' does not exist. The model also doesn't appear in my list. I'm wondering if I need to wait for access, if my account isn't eligible yet, or if there's another issue at play.

Here is the code I'm using:

PYTHON
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( api_key="MY API KEY", ) assistant = client.beta.assistants.create( name="Math Tutor", instructions="You are a personal math tutor. Write and run code to answer math questions.", tools=[{"type": "code_interpreterl"}], model="gpt-4-1106-preview" ) print(f"{assistant}\n") thread = client.beta.threads.create() message = client.beta.threads.messages.create( thread_id=thread.id, role="user", content="I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?" ) print(f"{message}\n") run = client.beta.threads.runs.create( thread_id=thread.id, assistant_id=assistant.id, instructions="Please address the user as Jane Doe. The user has a premium account." ) run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve( thread_id=thread.id, run_id=run.id ) messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list( thread_id=thread.id ) print(print(f"\n\n{assistant}"))

I appreciate any insights or guidance on why the model isn't accessible. Is it a matter of waiting for public access, an issue with my account, or something else?

Potential Issues Affecting Model Availability

  1. Model Identifier and Access:
    The model name you're trying to use ("gpt-4-1106-preview") may not be publicly available for your account yet. The documentation currently refers to models like "gpt-4-turbo" or "gpt-4o." Early preview models or beta releases often require special access or may only be available to a subset of users.

  2. Typographical Error in Tools:
    In your code snippet, the tool type is specified as "code_interpreterl" (with an extra "l") instead of "code_interpreter". This could cause the API to fail when creating the assistant since it does not match the expected tool name.

Next Steps

  • Verify Model Access:
    Confirm that your account has access to the new model you wish to use. If you are trying to run a preview model, check your OpenAI account dashboard or contact support for clarification regarding beta access.

  • Correct the Tool Identifier:
    Update your code to use "code_interpreter" instead of "code_interpreterl".

Revised Code Example

PYTHON
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( api_key="MY API KEY", ) assistant = client.beta.assistants.create( name="Math Tutor", instructions="You are a personal math tutor. Write and run code to answer math questions.", tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}], model="gpt-4-turbo" # or "gpt-4o" if applicable ) print(f"{assistant}\n") thread = client.beta.threads.create() message = client.beta.threads.messages.create( thread_id=thread.id, role="user", content="I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?" ) print(f"{message}\n") run = client.beta.threads.runs.create( thread_id=thread.id, assistant_id=assistant.id, instructions="Please address the user as Jane Doe. The user has a premium account." ) run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve( thread_id=thread.id, run_id=run.id ) messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list( thread_id=thread.id ) print(f"\n\n{assistant}")

Summary
It is likely that the model you're attempting to use ("gpt-4-1106-preview") is not yet available to your account because it requires special beta access or is still in a limited preview phase. Additionally, correcting the tool identifier may resolve other issues in your current implementation.
