means your OpenAI API key does not have access to the requested model.
To resolve this, double-check that your API key is valid and has permission for the specific model you are trying to use (for example, some models require special access or are not available to all accounts).
If you continue to see this error, try using a different model or contact OpenAI support to verify your account's access.
You can also review your call logs in the Vapi dashboard for more details:
Dashboard → Calls → End reason column ([Vapi docs](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/call-ended-reason)).
