OpenAI to retire GPT-4o and GPT-4.1 APIs on January 14, 2027
OpenAI has notified developers that five GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini, GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini snapshots will stop answering in the API on January 14, 2027. The recommended replacement is gpt-6-luna, but the notice gives 92 days instead of OpenAI's usual six months, and fine-tunes expire with their base models.
- Retiring snapshots: gpt-4o-2024-08-06, gpt-4o-2024-11-20, gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18, gpt-4.1-2025-04-14, gpt-4.1-mini-2025-04-14
- Recommended replacement gpt-6-luna does not support fine-tuning
- Notice gives 92 days of warning versus OpenAI's six-month policy
- Azure retires the same snapshots on April 14, 2027
