Questions

Every row in the tables above carries its own source receipt.
When is the next Anthropic model retirement?+
claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 on the first-party API no sooner than Sep 29, 2026, as published in the source linked on that row. Dates marked "no sooner than" are floors, not deadlines.
How much notice does Anthropic give before retiring a model?+
Anthropic states at least 60 days’ notice before retirement: “At least 60 days’ notice before retirement for publicly released models.”
What does a "no sooner than" date mean?+
It’s a floor, not a deadline. Some providers publish only the earliest possible shutdown date for a model, with the final date to be confirmed later. Treat it as "this won’t happen before this date," not as the date itself.
What’s the difference between "Announced" and "First observed by Radar"?+
"Announced" is the date the provider itself published the notice — it only appears on a row when the provider discloses one. "First observed by Radar" is Radar’s own collection timestamp, the date its pipeline first saw the source; it is never presented as the provider’s own announcement date.
Does this page cover Anthropic models hosted on partner platforms?+
Yes. This page lists every dated retirement notice observed for Anthropic, spanning its own first-party API and every partner platform it ships on. Each row’s Route column shows which one a given date applies to.
