Hello OpenAI community!
I’m using the GPT-4 model via the API for analysis and have two questions:
- How can I find out the exact version of GPT-4 that I’m accessing?
- Is it possible to lock or fix the model version so that it remains constant and doesn't update without my knowledge?
Thank you for your assistance!

Below is the answer to your questions:
1. Determining the Current Model Version
When you make an API call, the response object includes a field that indicates the specific model version used (for example, it might appear as gpt-4-0314 or another version identifier based on the model you're using). You can inspect this field in your API response to know the exact version currently in use.
2. Locking or Fixing the Model Version
OpenAI offers "pinned" model versions that remain stable for at least three months after an updated model is introduced. This means that if you want to ensure your application isn’t affected by continuous updates, you can specify one of these pinned versions in your API requests instead of using a continuously updated identifier (like chatgpt-4o-latest or similar for other models). By doing so, you'll lock your application to a specific model version until you decide to upgrade.
Feel free to check the API documentation for details on how to switch to a pinned model version if you need further assistance.
