“The model does not exist or you do not have access”

The model `…` does not exist or you do not have access to it
Quick answer

The model name is wrong, deprecated, or your account/key doesn’t have access to it. Check the exact model id, your access, and that you’re calling the right endpoint and base URL.

What causes it

How to fix it

  1. Verify the exact model id against the provider’s current model list.
  2. Confirm your key/org has access to that model.
  3. Check the base URL matches the provider that serves the model.
The permanent fix

Stop hitting this entirely

On Standard Compute the model is always just “standardcompute” — a single id that routes to the best available frontier model. You never chase renamed or deprecated model names. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 and you’re done.

FAQ

Why did a model name that used to work stop working?

Providers deprecate and rename models regularly. A name that worked last month can 404 today. Pinning to a single routed identifier avoids the churn.
