Facts about Developers Digest come from the public pages in the source list. Checked October 20, 2026. Publisher: SunsetDiff.
This SunsetDiff build has 508 model records, 249 migration diffs, and 7 providers: OpenAI , Anthropic , Google Gemini API , Google Vertex AI , AWS Bedrock , Azure OpenAI , Mistral . Dataset. API docs. All comparisons.
Developers Digest's homepage, fetched on October 20, 2026, describes an AI developer education site: blog posts, a tools directory, tutorials it counts as 300+, guides, courses, product comparisons, and a newsletter. The nav includes a Deprecations item labeled Model shutdown dates.
https://www.developersdigest.tech/deprecations, fetched the same day, titles itself AI model deprecation and shutdown dates (Oct 2026). Its description says shutdown dates and replacements for 630 AI models across 11 API providers, as of Oct 17, 2026, with 218 shutdowns scheduled, each linked to the official page. Visible text says every row comes from the provider's own deprecation, lifecycle, or changelog page, that each provider page carries the day its sources were read, and that a passed date stays deprecated until the provider lists the model as retired. It says 121 models shut down in the 120 days after Oct 17, 2026 across 8 providers.
Dataset JSON-LD on that page has dateModified 2026-10-17 and names no license and no download URL. The HTML does not link a .json, .csv, .ics, or feed.xml file. Per-provider dataset descriptions on the same page, all as of Oct 17, 2026: OpenAI 134 models (51 scheduled, 83 retired), Azure OpenAI 209 (88 scheduled, 121 retired), Anthropic 21 (1 scheduled, 1 deprecated, 19 retired), Amazon Bedrock 44 (36 scheduled, 8 retired), Gemini API 59 (13 scheduled, 7 deprecated, 39 retired), Vertex AI 54 (27 scheduled, 2 deprecated, 25 retired), Mistral 43 (1 scheduled, 42 retired), Cohere 12 (5 deprecated, 7 retired), xAI 11 (1 scheduled, 1 deprecated, 9 retired), DeepSeek 4 retired, Groq 39 retired.
A separate article, AI Model Shutdown Dates 2026-2027, says it recounts scheduled API shutdowns through mid 2027. Fetched the same day, it says 192 dated shutdowns fall between then and the end of June 2027, re-checked on October 18, 2026, across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google API and Vertex AI, Microsoft Foundry, Amazon Bedrock, and xAI. It uses Claude Sonnet 4.5 as an example of different dates by platform: November 30, 2026 on the Claude API and April 8, 2027 on Amazon Bedrock.

| What the deprecations page is | HTML tables and per-provider pages. 630 models, 11 providers, as of Oct 17, 2026. Rows link to official pages. | Every date links to the official provider page it came from, with a last_checked day. A GitHub Action checks those pages about every 6 hours. When both models are in the dataset, a migration page shows input, output, and cached price per 1M tokens, an example monthly cost, context window, max output, capability fields that differ, API changes with a source link, before/after code in Python, TypeScript, and curl, and a checklist. Empty cells say Not published. |
| Downloads | The deprecations page JSON-LD names no distribution URL and no license. The HTML fetched that day does not link JSON, CSV, ICS, or RSS. | Static files, no API key: /data/models.json, /data/deprecations.csv, /data/changelog.json, /dataset/sunsetdiff.json, /dataset/sunsetdiff.csv, /api/v1/, /feed.xml, and /deadlines.ics.

| Code scan | The deprecations page fetched that day does not describe a repository scan. | The scan page gives a ripgrep pattern for retiring model ids. It runs on your machine. The page does not upload a repository. |
SunsetDiff tracks them at sunsetdiff.com. It records the shutdown date, the official replacement, and the published change in price, context, and code. The same records are free JSON and CSV files under CC BY 4.0. Publisher: SunsetDiff.
SunsetDiff publishes static files. They need no API key. upcoming.json lists shutdowns in the next 90 days. models.json is the full model list. Field names and examples are on the API docs.
Developers Digest publishes an HTML deprecation catalog, checked here on October 20, 2026 and dated Oct 17, 2026 on the page, plus articles about shutdown calendars. SunsetDiff publishes the same kind of cited dates as CC BY 4.0 JSON and CSV, with migration diffs, an ICS feed, an RSS feed, and a local code scan.
