What the dates mean

Legacy, deprecated, retired. What each date means for you.

  1. Legacy

    The model still works, but the provider has set its end. Pick the replacement and test it while there’s time.

  2. Deprecated

    No new deployments or access. What already runs keeps working until retirement, so this is when the move should be underway.

  3. Retired

    Calls to the model fail. Any feature, agent or pipeline still pointing at it breaks in production.

Not every provider uses all three. Some go straight from available to retired, so the retirement date is the one to plan around.

FAQ

AI model deprecations, answered.

What is an AI model deprecation?

A provider’s notice that a model is on its way out. After deprecation the model usually can’t be used for new work, and on its retirement date calls to it stop working. Providers set these dates on their own schedule, often within a year or two of a model’s release.

What’s the difference between legacy, deprecated and retired?

Legacy means the model still works but the provider has scheduled its end. Deprecated means no new access, while existing use keeps working until retirement. Retired means calls to the model fail. Not every provider uses all three stages, so some models go straight from available to retired.

How do I add the schedule to my calendar?

Open “Add to calendar” and pick Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Outlook.com or Microsoft 365, or copy the feed link into any calendar app that supports subscriptions. To follow one provider, filter by it first and the menu switches to that provider’s feed. Subscribed calendars update on their own when a date changes.

Where do the dates come from?

From official data published by AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI and OpenAI. Draftt’s analysts validate every date before it appears here, so the schedule reflects what each provider has actually committed to.

How often is the schedule updated?

Draftt’s analysts review provider changes regularly, and the page and calendar feeds pick up each validated change on their own.

What happens when a model my team uses is retired?

Requests to it fail, so any feature, agent or pipeline still calling it breaks. Move to the provider’s recommended replacement before the retirement date, and test for differences in output quality, limits and cost along the way.

How do I know which of these models my org runs?

That’s the hard part: models get called from many services, keys and accounts. Draftt AI Governance finds every model your org calls across providers, puts each one on its provider’s clock, and shows the owners and workloads that have to move before the date.
