Claude Mythos Preview (Anthropic)

Deprecated

Yes — Anthropic deprecated Claude Mythos Preview but has not published a shutdown date. It still answers requests today. The recommended replacement is Claude Mythos 5.

The first Mythos-class model, released in April 2026 to a closed group of cyber defenders and critical infrastructure providers under Project Glasswing. It is the only deprecated Claude model with no retirement date on the deprecations page - the notice lives in a callout on the models overview instead, because an invitation-only model has no public user base to give sixty days' notice to.

# 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:

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.
