Notice policy

180+ day minimum

At least 6 months’ notice before retirement for generally available models, unless safety or compliance concerns require a faster timeline

142 of these dates come from OpenAI’s own page; 83 are published by Azure AI Foundry for OpenAI models it hosts.

OpenAI does not commit to publishing forward-looking retirement dates ahead of the notice window.

Questions

Which OpenAI models are deprecated or being retired?

As of Oct 15, 2026, OpenAI has 118 upcoming dated retirements and 107 past across its first-party API and the partner routes in the feed. The next is ft-babbage-002 on the first-party API on Oct 23, 2026. The soonest dated rows: ft-babbage-002 on the first-party API on Oct 23, 2026; ft-davinci-002 on the first-party API on Oct 23, 2026; ft-gpt-3.5-turbo on the first-party API on Oct 23, 2026. Every row in the tables above carries its own source receipt.

When is the next OpenAI model retirement?

ft-babbage-002 on the first-party API on Oct 23, 2026, as published in the source linked on that row. Dates marked "no sooner than" are floors, not deadlines.

How much notice does OpenAI give before retiring a model?

OpenAI states at least 180 days’ notice before retirement: “At least 6 months’ notice before retirement for generally available models, unless safety or compliance concerns require a faster timeline.”

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 OpenAI models hosted on partner platforms?

Yes. This page lists every dated retirement notice observed for OpenAI, 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.
