Question

Need help with azure openai organization verification for o3 streaming

Hariharan kannan 0

I tried to use the o3 model with streaming and facing the above error.

is this a bug or we are supposed to verify our organization through openai? if so how do i verify our organization?

the streaming parameter works with every other model except o3. The image shows a Python script attempting to use the Azure OpenAI API, resulting in an error message due to an unverified organization required for streaming the model. (Captioned by AI)

This doesn't make any sense.

We signed up via azure and we already have our payment information, billing details over azure. We have been using the service for almost 1.5 years now.

You can't expect a 5000+ employee organization to update their billing information to a new vendor without approvals.

Hi Hariharan kannan

As mentioned in the Azure OpenAI documentation, access to the GPT-4o (o3) model—especially for advanced features like streaming may require specific approval through a formal request process. This extra layer of approval is part of OpenAI’s enhanced security and governance measures for newer models. If your organization has not yet submitted the request form or completed the necessary verification steps, it could explain the streaming errors you're currently facing when using GPT-4o.

We would also greatly appreciate your feedback on the response provided above. If you could take a moment to retake the survey and share your thoughts, it will help us improve our support and better tailor responses to your needs. Your input is truly valuable to us.

Thank you!

Hey @Ravada Shivaprasad ,

First of all o3 and gpt-4o are two separate models both unrelated to each other.

secondly i do not see a word about requiring additional permission for the model's advanced features. We went through the request process for the o3 model and got access to it last week itself

Hi Hariharan kannan

I sincerely apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You're absolutely correct that o3 and gpt-4o are separate models, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. But OpenAI has implemented a specific restriction for the o3 model, requiring additional verification for streaming access.

Despite having access to the o3 model, you're still encountering streaming issues due to this OpenAI-imposed limitation. For submitting the access request, kindly consult the documentation linked above, which includes the application process for the o3 limited access model. If you still have any questions, please let me know. Also, if you could take a moment to retake the survey and share your thoughts, it would mean a lot. Your input helps us improve our support and better tailor our responses to meet your needs. Reference : Request Access,Open AI Services

None of the above answers is the solution and all of them are just plain wrong.

Once you get access to the models, you will be getting an email from csa@microsoft.com where they ask you to verify by two options.

Once done , please reply back in the same email and they will manually verify you.

Answer 1

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

This means your Azure OpenAI subscription is not yet verified for streaming access on this specific model (o3). It works on other models because they do not have this additional restriction, but o3 does. It is intentional behavior by OpenAI. Some of the newer OpenAI models (like o3) require organization verification to use streaming capabilities.

How to fix this:

You need to verify your organization with OpenAI (even if using through Azure). Follow these steps:

Go to: https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/general

Click on "Verify Organization".

Complete the verification process (you may need a business domain email, billing info, and basic org info).

Once verified, try the stream=True call again with the o3 model.

Note: This is a policy level requirement by OpenAI, not specific to your code or Azure integration.

Workaround if you cannot verify:

If verifying the org is not possible immediately, you can:

Temporarily disable streaming (stream=False).

Or use another supported model (example: gpt-4, gpt-35-turbo) that does not enforce this restriction
