GPT-4o (2024-05-13) (OpenAI)

Deprecated Shuts down in 85 days

Yes — OpenAI deprecated GPT-4o (2024-05-13) on April 22, 2026 and shuts it down on October 23, 2026 (in 85 days). The recommended replacement is GPT-5.6 Sol.

The original GPT-4o snapshot, the one that shipped at the May 2024 launch. Only this dated snapshot is deprecated — the floating gpt-4o pointer is not, and now resolves to a later snapshot. If you pinned the date, this is your deadline; if you did not, you have already been migrated.

The facts

Provider OpenAI
Model id gpt-4o-2024-05-13

Deprecated April 22, 2026

What to use instead

OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol gpt-5.6-sol Provider-recommended Active

If the pin was defensive rather than deliberate, moving to the floating gpt-4o id is the smaller change and buys time.

What parameters gpt-5.6-sol 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.

Frequently asked questions

When will OpenAI GPT-4o (2024-05-13) shut down?
OpenAI GPT-4o (2024-05-13) is scheduled to shut down on October 23, 2026, in 85 days.
What replaces OpenAI GPT-4o (2024-05-13)?
OpenAI recommends GPT-5.6 Sol (`gpt-5.6-sol`) as the replacement for OpenAI GPT-4o (2024-05-13). If the pin was defensive rather than deliberate, moving to the floating gpt-4o id is the smaller change and buys time.
Is OpenAI GPT-4o (2024-05-13) still available?
Yes, for now. OpenAI GPT-4o (2024-05-13) is deprecated but still answers requests until October 23, 2026. Deprecated models get no further updates and are the first to lose capacity.
How do I migrate from OpenAI GPT-4o (2024-05-13) to gpt-5.6-sol?
Swap the model id in your API call: replace "gpt-4o-2024-05-13" with "gpt-5.6-sol". If the pin was defensive rather than deliberate, moving to the floating gpt-4o id is the smaller change and buys time.

How to use this site

# 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.
