Hi @jabowery, Thank you for reporting this!

I have a few questions:

1. Does this always happen, no matter what you do? If it only happens under specific conditions, please attach the jupyter notebook to this issue so I can reproduce it.
2. If you go to View -> Output -> Notebook ChatCompletion, what kind of output do you see?
3. Which OS and VSCode version do you have?

By the way, the prompt in my example gif could be better. It was more of a lame attempt at being funny. I'll change that in a future update.

Apparently, the OpenAI API may return 404 if an unavailable model is set. I see two possibilities:

• gpt-4 should be used by default when nothing else was set. However, it is possible to set an invalid value when using the "Set Model" command in the menu. This can result in this error.
• The available models represent the list from the OpenAI docs, but if they didn't keep that in sync, it would mean one could select a deprecated model

Otherwise, the 404 Not Found would be related to an incorrect URL, but that cannot be the case, as it works for me.

I found a potential explanation: missing access to GPT-4. By default, the model is set to GPT-4, and I forgot that not everybody can access it. So, unfortunately, most users that try out the extension will encounter that error. Sadly, I cannot test this behaviour because I have received access.

Could you please do me a favour and try with GPT-3.5-turbo (using "Set Model")?

If that's the issue, I'll consider changing the default to GPT-3.5-turbo. Or at least I'll make a first-time notice that GPT-4 is set by default.

I created a second account to check for the behaviour myself. It is certain to be tied to missing access to GPT-4.

Therefore, I'll soon introduce three changes:

1. a new setting for the default mode, which is used when no model was set for a notebook
2. a first-time message pointing out that GPT-4 is set as default and that this can be changed in the settings or via "Set Model" in the notebook
3. an error message for HTTP 404 errors that points out that the OpenAI account in use might not have the desired model.

This issue is reclassified as an improvement instead of a bug.
