The completion operation does not work with the specified model, gpt-35-turbo-16k. Please choose different model and try again. You can learn more about which models can be used with each operation here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2197993. | Apim-request-id: c2867017-c4e1-4960-9098-274ee8604436

Answer 1

Instead of using

client.completions.create(
            model="gpt-35-turbo-16k", 
         	prompt="This is a prompt")

Use this instead:

client.chat.completions.create(
            model="gpt-4", 
            messages = [{"role":"system", "content":"this is a prompt"}])

Answer 2

Hi Samirit Saha,

Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A!!

You are getting this error as Completion operation is not supported by gpt-35-turbo(0613) and gpt-35-turbo-16k(0613) models. These models only support Chat Completions API. Only older turn model - GPT-3.5 Turbo (0301) supports both Chat and completions API. Please refer to the GPT-3.5 models for details.

Additionally, Models page of Azure AI Studio displays the features supported by the Model as shown in the below screenshot -

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

Saurabh
