o3-mini approval. how long must we wait? been over 30 days.

GenixPRO 66

Hi Team,

We've applied twice for o3-mini approval (gating services). Been over 30 days. How long must we wait? How do we know what's causing delays? Is it specific use-case based? At least we should know the reason for rejection if any. Appreciate any way to escalate here. Thanks.

It’s worth checking the Azure portal for updates or any requests for additional information.

Delays can occur due to compliance reviews, use-case complexity, or high application volumes.

To escalate, contact Azure Support with your submission details or request assistance from your Azure account manager.

If your application was rejected without clear feedback, consider reapplying with more detailed explanations of your use case.

@Amira Bedhiafi @saideep anchuri We've OAI access in addition to Azure. As you can see from attached screenshot, we applied & got approval from OAI for o1 + o3 series instantly. With Azure we've been waiting 60+ days & applied 3 times. No reason for rejection provided.

Does Azure team want us to move all our spend directly to OAI? We may consider that & may as well consider moving our cloud spend elsewhere too. This is frustrating to wait 60 days for model approval when others here got approvals in 1 day or less. Very disappointing.OAI_access.jpg
