🤖 AI models

🆕 For ShiNyP v0.1.2 (04/11/2025), we support 10 AI models:

⚡ We recommend using Google Gemini 2.0 Flash—the flagship model—for generating AI reports. It is free to use (see below).
💸 If you have paid API access from DeepSeek or OpenAI, we recommend using DeepSeek-V3 or GPT-4o for optimal performance. # Please note that o3-mini and o1-mini are more suitable for single-turn conversations and are not ideal for multi-turn.

❌ Encountered an error? Let’s fix it!

⚠️ Error: HTTP 401 Unauthorized

This error message indicates that your authentication credentials are invalid. This could happen for several reasons, such as:

  1. You are using a revoked API key.

  2. You are using a different API key than one under the requesting organization.

  3. You are using an API key that does not have the required permissions for the endpoint you are calling.

To resolve this error, first check that you are using the correct API key and organization ID in your request header.

⚠️ Error: Failed to Perform HTTP Request

This error may indicate that the request timed out, possibly due to an excessive input token count, which prevents the OpenAI model from completing the task within the allotted time.

To resolve this issue, try selecting the ‘GPT-3.5 Turbo’ model to generate the report first. If successful, you can then switch to other models for subsequent tasks.
