AI models shutting down in 2025

17 models lost API access during 2025, across every provider we track. In date order, with the replacement each provider names. Every date is cited on the model's own page.

2025 shutdowns

Ordered by the day API access ends. A date marked earliest is the soonest a provider says it could retire the model, not a commitment.

How to use this site

The full guide, in Markdown. Copy it and hand it to a coding agent verbatim.

# 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:

```
https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://modeldeprecations.dev/badge/openai/gpt-4-32k.json
```

## Calendar and changelog

- Subscribe to every shutdown date: https://modeldeprecations.dev/calendar.ics
- Changelog RSS: https://modeldeprecations.dev/changelog.xml

## JSON Schema

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

## 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.

## For agents

- Machine-readable overview: https://modeldeprecations.dev/llms.txt
- This guide plus every model inline: https://modeldeprecations.dev/llms-full.txt
- Any page also exists as Markdown: append `.md` to a model URL.
- In a browser, this site registers a **WebMCP** tool on `navigator.modelContext`:
  `check_model_deprecation`, `list_shutdowns`, `find_replacement`, and `get_usage_guide`.
- Parameters each model accepts are catalogued on the sibling site, https://modelparams.dev.
