Azure OpenAI Service models are continually refreshed with newer and more capable models. As part of this process, we deprecate and retire older models. This document provides information about the models that are currently available, deprecated, and retired.
- Retirement
- When a model is retired, it's no longer available for use. Azure OpenAI Service deployments of a retired model always return error responses.
- Deprecation
- When a model is deprecated, it's no longer available for new customers. It continues to be available for use by customers with existing deployments until the model is retired.
Azure OpenAI notifies customers of active Azure OpenAI Service deployments for models with upcoming retirements. We notify customers of upcoming retirements as follows for each deployment:
- At least 60 days before retirement
- At least 30 days before retirement
- At retirement
Retirements are done on a rolling basis, region by region.
Azure OpenAI notifies those who are members of the following roles for each subscription with a deployment of a model with an upcoming retirement.
- Owner
- Contributor
- Reader
- Monitoring contributor
- Monitoring reader
To prepare for model retirements and version upgrades, we recommend that customers evaluate their applications with the new models and versions and evaluate their behavior. We also recommend that customers update their applications to use the new models and versions before the retirement date.
For more information, see How to upgrade to a new model or version.
Note
Not all models go through a deprecation period prior to retirement. Some models/versions only have a retirement date.
These models are currently available for use in Azure OpenAI Service.

1 We will notify all customers with these preview deployments at least two weeks before the start of the upgrades. We will publish an upgrade schedule detailing the order of regions and model versions that we will follow during the upgrades, and link to that schedule from here.
These models were deprecated on July 6, 2023 and will be retired on June 14, 2024. These models are no longer available for new deployments. Deployments created before July 6, 2023 remain available to customers until June 14, 2024. We recommend customers migrate their applications to deployments of replacement models before the June 14, 2024 retirement.
If you're an existing customer looking for information about these models, see Legacy models.
