The specified model is invalid. Please ensure you are using a supported model.

The `` status error in the context of the OpenAI API, particularly with the model gpt-3.5-turbo-1106, can be due to several reasons:

Invalid Model Configuration

The error message Invalid model: gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 does not support image message content types suggests that the model specified does not support certain types of content, such as image messages, even if the request does not explicitly imply creating an image.

Bad Request

A status code of 400 generally indicates a "Bad Request," meaning the server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax or configuration. This could be due to incorrect API keys, headers, or data payload.

Model Capabilities

The model gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 may have specific limitations or capabilities that are not aligned with the type of request being made. For example, some models may not support certain content types or may have restrictions on the type of requests they can handle.

Request Parameters

The error could also be triggered by incorrect or missing parameters in the request. This includes issues such as hidden characters in environment variables or other configuration errors that result in an invalid request.
