How are you running AnythingLLM?

The LLM Provider is OpenAI. The Chat Model is GPT-4o. And I find I can not chat with the model.

It seems that there are some problems about the connections with OpenAI API. I choose the APIpie and then input my api key, and also choose GPT-4o as the Chat Model. It works. The model can answer my questions!

Since I am in China, I cannot sure whether the problem is in OpenAI API itself or the VPN I am using cannot visit OpenAI API.

This is because you are geo-restricted from using that service provider endpoint.

Yes, we can use a third-party proxy
