## Policy (notice periods)

| Category | Minimum notice | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Generally available models | ≥ 6 months | gpt-5, o3 |
| Specialized variants | ≥ 3 months | `gpt-5.1-chat-latest`, `gpt-5.3-codex`, `o3-deep-research` |
| Preview models | may be ~2 weeks | `computer-use-preview`, `gpt-4o-audio-preview` |

*Deprecated* = retirement announced (immediately deprecated, always with a shutdown date). *Legacy* = no longer updated, will be deprecated later. *Sunset/shut down* = no longer accessible. Dedicated capacity may be negotiable after shutdown (sales).
