I usually was able to upload text files for code analysis for example, but for some reason now I can only select image files and even if I force a text file, I will get an error message saying that I can only upload images.

Hi @abstract escarp. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It seems like you are experiencing an issue related to file uploads in ChatGPT. Based on the information available, the OpenAI o1 models, including o1 pro and o1-mini, only support image file uploads and do not support text file uploads or other advanced features like code analysis. This could be the reason why you are encountering an error when trying to upload text files, as these models are limited to image uploads only.

To upload and work with text files, you would need to switch to GPT-4o, which supports a broader range of file types, including text files, for tasks such as code analysis.

For more details, you can refer to the following sources:

If you are using a model that should support text file uploads and are still facing issues, it might be worth checking if there are any temporary bugs or network issues affecting the service. You can also try using a different browser or device to see if the issue persists.
