Retirements & Deprecations

Which AI models have been switched off, deprecated or given a shutdown date — as recorded in AIDb, with the maker’s own notice behind each line.

Every entry below comes from an AIDb model row whose description or pricing cell records a retirement, deprecation or shutdown, checked against the maker’s own page (the source link). Dates are the maker’s; where a maker gave only a month, the month is shown. A model that is deprecated but still serving sits under Scheduled until its shutdown date passes.

Updated October 17, 2026. Machine-readable copy: retiring.json. Something missing or wrong? The dossier page for each model carries its Last Verified date and primary source.
