Rerank English v2 (Cohere)

Retired

Yes — Rerank English v2 is retired. Cohere deprecated it on December 2, 2024 and shut it down on April 30, 2025; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Rerank v3.5.

The English reranker that made two-stage retrieval a standard pattern: cheap vector search first, then this model to reorder the top fifty. It is the one Cohere deprecation with a textbook runway - announced 2 December 2024, shut down 30 April 2025, five months apart.

What to use instead

Cohere Rerank v3.5 rerank-v3.5 Provider-recommended Active

v3.5 is multilingual, so the English-only and multilingual v2.0 ids collapse into one. Fine-tunes built on the v2.0 bases were explicitly not affected by this deprecation.

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.

# 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.
