Fine-tuned 4o errors using the responses API (with image input)
OpenAI Developer Community
February 27, 2026
For the past 1 day, we’ve been getting incorrect responses from the responses API. The response keeps spamming an empty array:
{
"id": "<id>",
"type": "message",
"status": "completed",
"content": [
{
"type": "output_text",
"annotations": [],
"logprobs": [],
"text": ""
}
],
"role": "assistant"
},
While completely ignoring the specified json schema. The response also indicates no errors, but seems we’re getting billed for the 100k+ tokens it ends up using :)))
Anyone else experiencing this issue? I’m using a fine-tuned 4o model. Not every request has this death spiral though; some do go through correctly.
Edit: I am using image input
