Azure Batch OpenAI not working with o3-mini - Bad Request: Model {modelName} is enabled only for api versions 2024-12-01-preview and later

Question

Azure Batch OpenAI not working with o3-mini - Bad Request: Model {modelName} is enabled only for api versions 2024-12-01-preview and later

David Captur 70

Using Azure UI Foundry I created a batch using an input file with a single entry to test it out as shown below:

{"custom_id":"task-0","method":"POST","url":"/chat/completions","body":{"model":"o3-mini-batch","max_completion_tokens":"20000","reasoning_effort":"low","messages":[{"role":"system","content":"You are an AI assistant that helps people find information."},{"role":"user","content":"When was Microsoft founded?"}]}}

o3-mini-batch is the deployment name of a Global Batch o3-mini deployment I just deployed. When Azure OpenAI attempts to process this file, it keeps failing, returning this error after processing (not after validation):

{"custom_id":"task-0","response":{"request_id":"","status_code":400},"error":{"code":null,"message":{"error":{"code":"BadRequest","message":"Model {modelName} is enabled only for api versions 2024-12-01-preview and later"}}}}

I cannot find a way to set / pass an api-version in the Input Batch File. The same problem is not happening when using other models. I also cannot find a way to change any versions of the o3-mini-batch deployment itself, the model version is set to 2025-01-31 (Default). There also seems to be no way to provide a specific api-version when using the Azure AI Foundry UI.

I'm having the same problem, the version is set correctly but I'm still getting an error that the model is not enabled for the version.

I encountered the same error while using both the REST API and Foundry with the o3-mini batch. The setup's nearly identical on my end.

Just encountered this myself earlier today — same setup, and I'm hitting the same error when using o3-mini batch, both through Foundry and the REST API. Could this be a teething issue with the new release?

Hi David Captur

You can only use below API versions for Batch processing.

Latest GA API release:2024-10-21 Latest Preview API release:2025-03-01-preview

Regarding your query-

I cannot find a way to set / pass an api-version in the Input Batch File.

We need to provide api_version while initializing client only

client = AzureOpenAI ( api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"), api_version="2025-03-01-preview", azure_endpoint = os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT") )

Reference documentation

Default Supported version for 03 mini is 2025-01-31 only

Thank you.

Hi Manas,

How do I confirm the details you have shared? Also I am not initialising any client, as explained in my description I am using Azure AI Foundry. Some details of the deployment attached.

Hi there! Without doing any changes this is now working well both via Foundry and REST API. I guess OpenAI or Azure resolved it on their end.

Jsonl content with out max_token and reasoning_effort works in easus with my global batch deployment of o3-mini.

Could you verify at your side.
