> [OpenAI models](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models) are large language, image,
> audio, transcription, embedding, and open-weight models available through the OpenAI API.

{: .warning }
> This page tracks stable model availability in the OpenAI API.
> It does not include models in preview or available only through ChatGPT or third-party platforms.
> OpenAI Daybreak Blue and OpenAI Daybreak Red models are also not documented on this page.

OpenAI uses the following terms to describe the model lifecycle:

- **Active**: The model is fully supported and recommended for use.
- **Deprecated**: The model has been announced for retirement and is no longer recommended for new work. Requests to deprecated models will continue to work until retirement.
- **Shut down** or **sunsetted**: The model is no longer accessible. Requests to retired models will fail.

Before shutting down a model, OpenAI generally provides at least six months' notice for generally available models
and three months' notice for specialized variants.
