OpenAI API error: "The model `text-davinci-003` has been deprecated"

Question

I was using the ChatGPT and it says to use this line of code for the API endpoint:

$endpoint = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/text-davinci-003/completions';

But it doesn't work. I get the following error:

{ "error": { "message": "The model `text-davinci-003` has been deprecated, learn more here: https://platform.openai.com/docs/deprecations", "type": "invalid_request_error", "param": null, "code": "model_not_found" } }

I can't really find anything to fix it.

I tried changing the models in the URL itself but it didn't work.

Answer 1

There are two problems with your code.

1. You're trying to use a deprecated OpenAI model

On January 4, 2024, OpenAI deprecated a lot of models.

See the deprecated models and recommended replacements in the tables below.

In your case, change text-davinci-003 for gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct.

2. You're trying to use a deprecated OpenAI API endpoint

All Engines API endpoints were deprecated a very, very long time ago.

Change this...

...to this.
