Update

We're seeing elevated error rates (500 Internal Server Error) with OpenAI models in the Voice Agent API.

Our team is actively investigating and communicating with OpenAI to find a path to resolution, and a path to mitigation in the short term. Our metrics show degraded service for 4o-mini, 4.1-mini, 4.1 nano, 4.1, and possibly other OpenAI models.

We are continuing to monitor, investigate, and work with OpenAI to resolve.

As a workaround, we recommend switching to a different model or provider.
