Chat completions not available in some regions?

Question

We are upgrading from 35-turbo to 4o-mini and this page in the documentation looks like it says the chat Completions endpoint is not available in some global regions like australiaeast and canadaeast. Is that correct and my code will no longer work in those regions?

We are upgrading from 35-turbo because it will soon no longer be available but we will need to use the chat completions endpoint in some of the regions in which the table says it's unavailable.

Here is an example of how we are calling the endpoint:

const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  messages: messages,
  temperature: 0
});

Answer 1

That is correct - as with any public cloud, availability is subject to constraints based on region/demand
