Documentation section changed: Overview

The evidence describes a documentation page about API deprecations and adds information about monitoring model shutdowns programmatically via the List models endpoint and the shutdown_date field. It does not indicate a deprecation with a replacement endpoint or a specific deadline; the change is informational in nature, updating guidance on how to track shutdown dates.

As we launch safer and more capable models, we regularly retire older models. Software relying on OpenAI models may need occasional updates to keep working. Impacted customers will always be notified by email and in our documentation along with blog posts for larger changes. This page lists all API deprecations, along with recommended replacements. To monitor model shutdowns programmatically, call the List models endpoint (GET /v1/models) and check each model’s optional shutdown_date field. When present, this field contains the shutdown date as a YYYY-MM-DD string, or null if no shutdown date has been announced; the field is also available from the Retrieve a model endpoint.
