Amazon Nova Canvas (Amazon)

Deprecated Shuts down in 58 days

Yes — Amazon deprecated Amazon Nova Canvas on March 30, 2026 and shuts it down on September 30, 2026 (in 58 days). The recommended replacement is Google Imagen 4.

Amazon's image generation model, capped at a 1024-character prompt and about 4.2 megapixels of output. Legacy since 30 March 2026, ending 30 September. Bedrock's lifecycle table lists no successor for it, so this is a capability leaving the platform rather than a version bump. The Bedrock invoke id is amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0.

What to use instead

Google Imagen 4 imagen-4.0-generate-001 Active

Amazon names no successor and Nova 2 ships no image generation model, so this is a capability leaving Bedrock rather than a version bump. Imagen 4 is the nearest live equivalent in this catalogue, and it is our suggestion rather than Amazon's.

What parameters imagen-4.0-generate-001 accepts on modelparams.dev

Change the id

In most cases the migration is one string. Check the parameter differences before you ship — newer models drop older sampling knobs more often than they add them. 

- "model": "nova-canvas"
+ "model": "imagen-4.0-generate-001"

Frequently asked questions

When will Amazon Nova Canvas shut down?
Amazon Nova Canvas is scheduled to shut down on September 30, 2026, in 58 days.
What replaces Amazon Nova Canvas?

# How to use modeldeprecations.dev

[modeldeprecations.dev](https://modeldeprecations.dev) answers one question per model: is it deprecated,
when does it shut down, and what replaces it. Every date on the site is cited to the
provider's own documentation, with the date we last checked it.

Three lifecycle states are used, matching the providers' own vocabulary:

- **active** — still supported, no deprecation announced.
- **deprecated** — the provider has announced it is going away. It still answers requests.
- **retired** — API access is gone. Requests fail.

A model can be active *and* carry a shutdown date: Anthropic publishes a
"not sooner than" date and Google publishes an earliest shutdown date for models
that are current and fully supported. Those are reported as scheduled shutdowns,
not deprecations, because that is what the provider actually committed to.

## Check one model

```bash
curl https://modeldeprecations.dev/api/v1/models/openai/gpt-4-32k.json
```

Or fetch the page as Markdown, which includes the answer, the dates and the sources:

```bash
curl https://modeldeprecations.dev/openai/gpt-4-32k.md
```

## Full catalog

```bash
curl https://modeldeprecations.dev/api/v1/models.json
```

Ids are `provider/model`. Dated snapshots (`gpt-4-32k-0613`) are listed as aliases of
their canonical entry rather than as separate records.

Each entry carries `computed_status`, the lifecycle state recomputed against the build
date — so a model whose shutdown has passed reads `retired` without anyone editing data.

## Badges

A shields.io endpoint per model, for READMEs that should go red when a model dies:

## Contribute

Data lives in YAML under `models/{provider}/{model}.yaml` in the
[GitHub repo](https://github.com/mnfst/modeldeprecations.dev). Every lifecycle date needs a source URL; CI rejects a
date without one. Open a PR.
