Describe the problem/error/question

When creating an AI Agent node and using GPT 5 as the chat model, it times out and provides no response. I verified my organization and I do in fact have credits.

What is the error message (if any)?

No error message

Please share your workflow

Not relevant, just a single node for AI Agent

Hi there may i know if you are using the openrouter node or the openAI node

Because if you are using the openrouter, ive read some reports that there are limitations to using gpt 5 there, so if you do, maybe its better to use the official openAI node

also, since gpt 5 is a bit new, have you make sure to update your n8n to the latest version? If not then i would suggest you to do that

Hope it answers your question!

I’m not using the openrouter node. I’ve tried to paste my workflow in here, but I get an error.

The only model that works is GPT 4.1. All others time out. I’m stumped..

I’ve run the exact same prompt directly to the openAI API in python code and I get a response back in 68 seconds. When Running it in the AI Agent node, it just times out.

Get the same, latest n8n, self hosted with Open AI directly to an AI Agent node - adding tools makes it always time out - not even simple tools with very little data!
