Service Notice: OpenAI First-Party Provider Temporarily Unavailable for GPT Models

The OpenAI first-party provider for GPT-series models is temporarily unavailable, according to a service notice from ZenMux, the routing platform that issued the advisory. Requests that explicitly lock the openai provider — by appending an :openai suffix to a model slug such as openai/gpt 6.1 sol:openai or by restricting provider.routing.providers to ["openai"] — will fail during the outage, while standard GPT model slugs without the provider lock continue to route automatically to available providers. ZenMux instructed users to remove the :openai suffix or the openai-only routing restriction so traffic can be routed automatically to Azure (azure) and other available providers.

Action Required If your requests specify the openai provider, please remove the :openai suffix (or remove the openai only provider routing restriction) so that ZenMux can automatically route your traffic to Azure (azure) and other available providers: Change openai/
