ChatGPT models response did not contain any picker-visible m

Error message

ChatGPT models response did not contain any picker-visible models

What it means

The models request succeeded and the response parsed, but after filtering out models that are not visible in the ChatGPT picker, the list was empty. This means OpenAI's account has no models available for this credentials (e.g. a restricted organization, a new account, or a server-side catalog change that altered visibility flags).

Solutions

1. Verify the signed-in ChatGPT account actually has model access (some organizations restrict available models)
2. Sign out and sign back in to refresh credentials in case the account state changed
3. Check whether OpenAI changed the picker-visibility field names in the models response, which would make every model filtered out
