  "textContent": "Thank you for trying to help, but I’m already aware of how “flex” works. I’ve been using it successfully with other providers with both Gemini and GPT models that support it.\n\nThe problem is that this parameter gets ignored when I’m using OpenAI directly, and I suspect that it’s because of the “default” setting that’s automatically applied to a new project when created. I’m guessing that this overrides any conflicting parameters that get sent with the API request. At least that would explain why the parameter gets ignored.\n\nIf that’s not the reason, what other possible reasons could exist for OpenAI ignoring the service_tier parameter?\n\nAnd I’ve obviously already searched the official documentation before making this post.",
