I can confirm I have also this error since at least 7 or 8 versions. for gpt-4 model only, for the gpt-4-32k model no issue weirdly with Azure. There my config file if it's helping:

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-4-32k
    litellm_params:
      model: azure/gpt-4-32k

      api_base: "os.environ/AZURE_API_BASE"
      api_key: "os.environ/AZURE_API_KEY"
  - model_name: gpt-4

Thanks for filing this @Extremys @langgg0511 will investigate and push a fix today hopefully

[krrishdholakia]

Just pushed a fix w/ testing - https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/commit/23b59ac9b8a78ece3809a2ed33390063a75319fa

We now check for content policy violation errors during streaming by checking the finish reason. This is based on the azure docs - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/content-filter?tabs=warning%2Cpython#scenario-details

Will update ticket once a release is out

[Extremys]

Fixed on my side :) thanks!

[krrishdholakia]

Closing issue as the fix is live in v1.18.12 onwards

[hooman-bayer]

@krrishdholakia this issue still occurs occasionally. In my case with "model": "gpt-35-turbo-1106" and I am using 1.19.2

[krrishdholakia]

@hooman-bayer isn't that just azure raising the content filter error?

We're now just explicitly checking if the finish reason is a content filter and re-raising that
