OpenAI Model Deprecation Guide


Here's what you need to know:
GPT-3 Model Retirement
The text-davinci-003
model (commonly known as GPT-3) will be unavailable from Jan 4. Along with this, all text-davinci/curie/babbage/ada-001/002/003
models, as well as code-davinci
models are also being shut down.
→ You must manually transition to the replacement model, gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct
/fine-tunes Endpoint Retirement
The ada
, babbage
, curie
, and davinci
models on the /fine-tunes
endpoint will be retired on Jan 4.
→ You must manually transition to the new endpoint and models, on /fine-tuning
.
Old Embedding Models Retirement
All models except for text-embedding-ada-002
will be shutdown on Jan 4.
→ You must manually transition to the new model
text-embedding-ada-002
.
No Deprecations for Chat Models
All GPT-4 and gpt-3.5-turbo models remain active. The earliest deprecation is happening on June 13th for gpt-4-0314
, gpt-4-0613
, gpt-3.5-turbo-0613
, gpt-3.5-turbo-0301
.
Azure OpenAI will deprecate the -0314
and -0301
models on July 5th. (Azure shutdown for -0613
models is to be announced.)
→ It is recommended to start shifting your gpt-4
and gpt-3.5-turbo
workloads to the newer, cheaper -1106
models.
