Solution

  • Problem

    You didn't set the model parameter. You have to set the model parameter to any OpenAI model that is compatible with the Completions API endpoint. It's a required parameter. See the official OpenAI documentation.

    Solution

    Set the model parameter. You can choose between the following models:

    • gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct
    • babbage-002
    • davinci-002
    • text-davinci-003
    • text-curie-001
    • text-babbage-001
    • text-ada-001

    Also, all Engines endpoints are deprecated.

    Use the Completions API endpoint.

    Change the URL from this...

    https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/chat-gpt/jobs

    ...to this.
