endoflife.ai's homepage, fetched on October 20, 2026, describes a free public platform for software end-of-life intelligence, built on the endoflife.date open dataset. It says you can paste a package.json or requirements.txt, or check a single product. It says data is reconciled from official vendor lifecycle pages, endoflife.date, NVD, and CISA KEV, and that every date carries its source. It says dependency files are scanned in the browser and are not stored or transmitted.
The same homepage says 600+ products are indexed. It also displays the lines 13,000+ Pages & Score Cards and 8,000+ Pages & Score Cards, and $0 Cost to Check. It describes an EOL Risk Score from 0 to 100 using EOL recency, attack surface, CISA KEV exposure, and extended support. It says 54 flagship products are cross-checked against official vendor documentation.
The site also publishes a research article, AI Model Deprecation Dates 2026, at /article-ai-models-eol. Fetched the same day, the article says it was published May 31, 2026 by endoflife.ai Research and that it is updated at every build. It covers OpenAI, Google Gemini, Meta Llama, Mistral, and Claude, with tables of model ids, dates, status, and a replacement column, plus EOL Risk Scores. The article says the endoflife.ai API provides programmatic access to deprecation dates for all tracked models. Linked counts on that page are 20 OpenAI models, 13 Gemini models, 15 Llama models, 14 Mistral models, and 25 Claude model versions.
Side by side
What endoflife.ai published on October 20, 2026, and what SunsetDiff publishes in this build.
Topic
endoflife.ai
SunsetDiff
Scope
Software end-of-life across products, runtimes, and frameworks, with a research article on AI model dates.
AI model shutdowns and the migration diff for the providers in this build.
AI model dates
The May 31, 2026 article, which says it updates at every build, publishes timeline tables and risk scores for the providers named above.
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.
How you read it
Browser scan of dependency files. The article says an API exposes deprecation dates for the models it tracks.
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. License CC BY 4.0. Publisher: SunsetDiff. The scan page gives a ripgrep pattern for retiring model ids. It runs on your machine. The page does not upload a repository.

AI Model Deprecation Dates 2026. Checked 2026-10-20. Published May 31, 2026, updated at every build, provider sections, linked model counts, and the sentence about the endoflife.ai API.
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.
Is there an API for LLM model shutdown dates?
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.
How does SunsetDiff compare with endoflife.ai?
endoflife.ai tracks software end of life and also publishes an AI model deprecation article and risk scores. SunsetDiff is a model-retirement dataset: shutdown dates, official replacements, migration diffs, and static JSON, CSV, ICS, and RSS files for the providers in this build.
