How do I find out when an AI vendor deprecates a model?

By re-reading the page the vendor announces on. Every announcement here was read off a changelog or docs page. Some vendors also email active users; whether you get that email depends on your account. The source beside each vendor is the page to watch.

Do AI vendors give notice before retiring a model?

They publish one on the page, and some also email active users, so whether it reaches you depends on your account. Of the 761 dated announcements here, 253 carry a date on or after Nov 2, 2026. The next 90 days are on this page, soonest first; the rest are on the full list.

What is the difference between a deprecation and a retirement?

Vendors use both, and not consistently. Deprecated often means still working but no longer recommended or supported; retired, sunset and end-of-life usually mean gone. The wording quoted here is each vendor's own, so read the sentence, not the label.

How often do AI vendors retire models?

This data can't tell you honestly, so there's no rate here. Most vendors have two dated entries or fewer, and the gap between them reflects how much history the changelog shows, not how the vendor behaves.

Every other retirement, by vendor150 dated more than 90 days out, and 990 earlier or undated announcements from 37 vendors.See them ›

The page is where it’s written down.

Some vendors also email active users. Whether you get that email depends on your account. The page is the copy anyone can check.

761 of the 1243 carry a date, and 253 of those dates were still ahead when this page was built. A vendor’s changelog records what has happened more often than it warns about what will.

This isn’t a forecast or a rate.

Most vendors here have two dated entries or fewer. The gap between them shows how much history the changelog keeps, not how the vendor behaves.

AssemblyAI’s 4 dated announcements over 8 months is a real reading. Two entries a day apart is not a cadence.

It’s also uneven. Microsoft accounts for 322 of the 1243. They’re here because the page says them. Each vendor’s history is capped so one changelog doesn’t bury the other 36.

What to do with it.

Watch the source pages.
That's where the next retirement will be written down, whoever else gets an email about it.
Check the date against what you owe.
A model you resell or embed can carry a customer commitment whose window is shorter than the vendor's.

Where each vendor publishes its other pages covers sub-processor lists (the companies a vendor hands your data to) and data processing agreements (DPAs), which change on their own schedule.

Download the retirement list.

The same list as a Word document, with every announcement, source and date. It’s generated when you download it, so it matches what the vendors’ pages say that day.

How we read these.

Quoted as written.
Each announcement comes from a page the vendor publishes, with that page's URL and the date it carries. Nothing is reworded.
Listed once.
Where the same announcement appears on two pages or in two readings, it's listed once. A vendor said it once.
Undated stays undated.
An announcement with no date is shown without one, never given the date we read it. Only one of those dates is the vendor's.

How Xither reads a page.

Common questions.

How do I find out when an AI vendor deprecates a model?
By re-reading the page the vendor announces on. Every announcement here was read off a changelog or docs page. Some vendors also email active users; whether you get that email depends on your account. The source beside each vendor is the page to watch.
Do AI vendors give notice before retiring a model?
They publish one on the page, and some also email active users, so whether it reaches you depends on your account. Of the 761 dated announcements here, 253 carry a date on or after Nov 2, 2026. The next 90 days are on this page, soonest first; the rest are on the full list.
What is the difference between a deprecation and a retirement?
Vendors use both, and not consistently. Deprecated often means still working but no longer recommended or supported; retired, sunset and end-of-life usually mean gone. The wording quoted here is each vendor's own, so read the sentence, not the label.
How often do AI vendors retire models?
This data can't tell you honestly, so there's no rate here. Most vendors have two dated entries or fewer, and the gap between them reflects how much history the changelog shows, not how the vendor behaves.
