Common questions
Can I check whether ChatGPT or Codex has been downgraded?
It can help you investigate. Choose the manual check, send the probes to the ChatGPT or Codex you use, then paste the responses here. Results can suggest a model change, but a single check cannot establish that your account has been downgraded.
How can I check whether an API provider has switched models?
Enter your API URL and key, select the model, and start a check. The page compares the responses with the fingerprint database to assess whether they match the advertised model.
Does a mismatch mean the model has been replaced?
One mismatch is not enough to draw a conclusion. Follow the page's suggestion to run an additional probe and see whether the result is consistent.
Are two probes enough? When should I run another?
Start with two probes. If the comparisons disagree, the page will suggest another. If responses are incomplete, check that you pasted them in full. Similar models may still be indistinguishable.
How is the reference model selected?
Suggested from the selected model ID; you can change it. It helps compare the result without affecting scores or rankings.
Will the check use my API credits?
Yes. The default check sends two requests to your API, using an estimated 1,300–8,000 tokens at a reference cost of about $0.05. An extra probe adds one request and more usage. Actual charges depend on the model and your API provider.
Where are keys, answers and check records saved?
Use a temporary API key and revoke it afterward. In the default API mode, your key passes through the ModelDial relay; it is not written to databases, caches, logs or exported JSON, and its input is cleared when a check starts. Answers are analyzed in your browser. Save result stores a local record you can restore, delete or export.
