I also encountered the same problem, did you solve it?

Openai's API is blocked in China. If you want to continue using it, you can use a foreign node to build services。I do this now, and use it normally。

My service runs on Tencent Cloud without its own agent. But for local debugging, it may be a good solution

In your code snippet, you're trying to use the text-davinci-003 model. But looking at the code, it appears the currently only gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-3.5-turbo-0301 models are supported.

https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/0363de20747e272a92e41da4a4c4293104aa9461/dist/api.d.ts#L261-L266

The solution would be to make requests directly yourself, instead of using the openai-node package - here's how.

我的服务运行在腾讯云上，没有自带代理。但是对于本地调试来说，这可能是一个很好的解决方案

对服务器节点有要求吗？需要国外节点的服务器吗？

是的，需要国外的服务器的节点，我现在用的是 美国 加州的节点 ，正常使用。

You may encounter ETIMEDOUT if there is a problem connecting from your computer to OpenAI's servers, perhaps because it is blocked somewhere along the chain, or due to networking issues.

In some cases, this may be due to regional restrictions; you may want to check the list of supported countries.

If you encounter this issue when using the SDK but not when making the request directly, please open a new issue on this repo.
