Azure OpenAI retirement schedule
The model-retirements concept page describes the lifecycle and points the dated list at the model retirement schedule. This table is that schedule. A row whose retirement cell is an em dash is omitted, because the page did not give a date. A replacement cell that is an em dash is the schedule’s own mark that no replacement is named. Announced dates are not a column on the schedule, so that field is empty.
The concept page says GA retirement notice is at least 60 days and preview retirement notice is at least 30 days, and that Microsoft reserves an emergency retirement with shortened notice for compliance or security issues. GA models that follow the standard lifecycle have a retirement date set at launch to 18 months out. The concept page’s visible “last updated” line was 2026-07-24. The schedule page’s visible “last updated” line was 2026-09-23.
156 rows. Filter matches the text already in the table.
