Model deprecations
The catalogue records these dates on the affected model entries, with a replacement model ID where there is one. The dates apply to the snapshots OpenAI names; Phaseo may serve a snapshot under a canonical model ID. A model’s page shows its dates and suggested replacement, and Phaseo keeps serving a retired model while any provider does. See Model Deprecation and Retirement for alerts and automatic replacement.
Platform deprecations
OpenAI also retires products that aren’t models:Migrate
- Replace the deprecated model or product in staging.
- Re-run representative evaluations, especially structured outputs, tool calls, audio quality, and long-context tasks.
- Compare latency and spend under production-like concurrency.
- Canary the replacement with an explicit rollback route before the shutdown date.
