Model Retirement Dates (On-Demand Mode)

This page lists the release dates and on-demand mode retirement dates for OCI Generative AI pretrained models, along with suggested replacement options to help you plan upgrades and avoid service disruptions.

Important

Each model in the tables uses one of the following retirement date values in the On-Demand Mode Retirement Date column.

Table Legend
Retirement Date Value Description
P1 At least one month after the release of the 1st replacement model.
P6 At least six months after the release of the 1st replacement model.
YYYY-MM-DD Fixed retirement date for on-demand mode.
No sooner than YYYY-MM-DD The model remains available until at least YYYY-MM-DD, but it might retire on that date or shortly after. Plan to migrate to a suggested replacement model by YYYY-MM-DD to avoid service disruption if the model becomes unavailable on or after that date.
