Error in paste("OpenAI API probably has been changed. If you see this, please", : OpenAI API probably has been changed.

I've been trying to loop create_chat_completion() over different message lists, and I got the following error on the third entry on the list:

Error in paste("OpenAI API probably has been changed. If you see this, please",  : 
  OpenAI API probably has been changed. If you see this, please rise an issue at: https://github.com/irudnyts/openai/issues

Per the instruction, I'm rising an issue here. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: I've found a workaround using the retry() function from the retry package, where I substitute the following for the function call in the loop:

retry(
    expr = create_chat_completion(text),
    when = "502|API",
    max_tries = 3,
    interval = runif(1, 6, 10)
  )

Still not entirely sure what the source of the error is, but this seems to work. It might be worth making a more informative error for the future.

Thanks for that! I'm currently doing a major revision, and I will have a look in the coming days.

@reillysteel, I'm developing now a new version which you can install via remotes::install_github("irudnyts/openai", ref = "r6"). Here is the code for the updated version:

library(openai)
client <- OpenAI(max_retries = 3) # one sets number of retries here
completion <- client$chat$completions$create(
    model = "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    messages = list(list("role" = "user", "content" = "What's up?"))
)

@reillysteel my bad, did not read carefully. If this error happens, can you please write down a reprex, e.g., specifying particular messages that fail?

[reillysteel]

Hard to write down a reprex because the error came up inconsistently (e.g., the error might arise for a chat completion, but it would work fine upon running the exact same chat completion again). The retry() method that I previously used allowed me to get around the issue by retrying the chat completion whenever the error popped up, though. If I encounter the error again, I will try writing down a reprex.

I encountered an error when trying to run the client$chat$completion$create(...) command...
