This may be due to an incorrect configuration of `OPENAI_PROXY_URL`. ### Solution Recheck and confirm whether `OPENAI_PROXY_URL` is set correctly, including whether the `/v1` suffix is added correctly (if required). ### Related Discussion Links - [Why is the return value blank after configuring environment variables in Docker?](https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat/discussions/623) - [Reasons for errors when using third-party interfaces](https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat/discussions/734) - [No response when the proxy server address is filled in for chat](https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat/discussions/1065) If the problem still cannot be resolved, it is recommended to raise the issue in the community, providing relevant logs and configuration information for other developers or maintainers to offer assistance.
