Q: The requested model 'gpt-5-nano' cannot be used with the Assistants API.

Is there any reason why this OpenAI model is available to select, but when choosing, it says it cannot be used? Is this a bug?

A: Hello.
GPT-5 series does not support Assistants API. Please check this screenshot https://anc1.hel1.your-objectstorage.com/storage/usr/rH-J-tOR1UqfQY-QNnQp9A/ws/nHBCDnKr1zKv01dLTm4C1w/uploads/GEeLlXGmazeBBUJuFm4dbA.png

Even 'gpt-5-mini' doesn't seem to work as you get the same error. 'gpt-4o-mini' seems to work fine, though. I raised a couple other issues in Ticket number: #190 - looking forward to a response.

Ah, makes sense. Why is it an option to choose within AnyChat then?

You can still use it without Assistants. We will add some filtration to the models list in the AI Assistants dialog.

We’ve added a filter to the AI Assistant dialog, so you’ll no longer see any models that don’t support the Assistants API.
