When can we expect o-models support in Azure Assistants API?

Question

We are using the Assistants API, and it works well, but it currently only supports GPT-4o models. We would like to use o3-mini, but the Assistants API does not support it. When can we expect support for o3-mini?

Hello Dmytro Shervarly,

Thanks for your question

The Azure OpenAI Assistants API currently does not support the o3-mini model. Unfortunately, there is no provided ETA for when or if this support will be added.

In the meantime, you might consider providing feedback or feature requests through Microsoft’s feedback channels to express the importance of this integration for your use cases: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/
