According to recent reports, the OpenAI API seems to be working in Google Colab, but users are encountering timeout errors when trying to integrate it with VSCode. Frustrated users have tried various troubleshooting steps, including disabling firewalls, upgrading Python, creating packages and libraries, and adjusting timeouts, but the issue persists.
One user shared their code snippet where they encountered the APITimeoutError when running the OpenAI integration in VSCode. Despite trying multiple solutions, including increasing timeouts and virtual environments, the timeout error continues to occur.
The provided code snippet includes the initialization of the OpenAI client and a request to the chat completions endpoint, where the model is specified as ‘gpt-3.5-turbo’ and a block of text is provided for keyword extraction. However, the timeout error persists, causing frustration for the user.
To address this issue, users are advised to seek help from the OpenAI community or provide more details about their setup for further assistance. Troubleshooting steps may involve checking network configurations, setting up proper API authentication, and ensuring that the environment is correctly configured for OpenAI integration.
