Unable to select the DeepSeek or any other opensource model deployments when creating the agent in Azure Foundry

Question

I have models deployed for OpenAI gpt 4 and also Deep Seek R1, however when creating the agent in Azure AI Foundry I'm not able to select the other open source models that are already created as deployment. The drop down doesn't provide the option

Also when I'm using agent via playground or SDk I get Rate Limit Exceeded. Adjust your tokens per minute rate limit in Models + endpoints (link) or try again later.

I haven't really reached any limit. only 59 tokens are used

This is what I get from Azure AI SDK

Can you help with this?

Hi SAI NITESH

Regarding DeepSeek R1deployment visibility -

For the issue with selecting models, ensure that the models you have deployed are compatible with Agents nd that you have the necessary permissions to access them. If the models are not appearing in the dropdown, it could be due to compatibility or permission issues.

Regarding the "Rate Limit Exceeded" error, -this usually indicates that the number of requests made to the service has surpassed the allowed limit. Even if you have only used 59 tokens, the rate limit is often based on the number of requests per minute rather than just token usage. You may need to adjust your Tokens per Minute (TPM) rate limit in the Models + endpoints settings to resolve this issue.

Thank you.
