Why is the text-davinci-003 model reported as deprecated?

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

I attempted to use the text-davinci-003 model but received an error stating that it has been deprecated. I'm wondering if this deprecation message is due to something in my code or if OpenAI has simply removed support for this model.

Below is a screenshot of the error message for reference:

It’s most likely not an error in your code but rather the fact that OpenAI has deprecated the text-davinci-003 model. OpenAI periodically deprecates older models, and when that happens, requests to use them will return a deprecation notice. Here are a few points to consider:

What This Means

  • Not a Code Bug: The deprecation message is coming from the API itself because the model is no longer supported.
  • Model Update: You should update your code to use one of the currently supported models (for example, gpt-3.5-turbo or a newer variant).

What to Do Next

  1. Check OpenAI’s Documentation: Look for the current list of available models. This ensures that you’re attempting to use a model that is still supported.

  2. Update Your Code: Change the model name in your API calls. For example, if you’re using Python, you might have something like:

    PYTHON
    import openai openai.api_key = "your-api-key" response = openai.Completion.create( model="gpt-3.5-turbo", # Update this from text-davinci-003 prompt="Your prompt here", max_tokens=100 ) print(response.choices[0].text)
  3. Testing: Run your updated code, and it should work without the deprecation error.

Final Note

The deprecation of a model like text-davinci-003 is a common practice to ensure that developers are using the most efficient and capable models available. Updating your code to call a supported model is the recommended approach.
