Deprecation

Deprecation refers to the process of retiring older models or endpoints in favor of hosting better models with better capabilities for you to leverage. When we announce that a model or endpoint is being deprecated, we will provide a shutdown date on which the model or endpoint will no longer be accessible. As such, your applications relying on Groq may need occasional updates to continue working.

Once a model is announced as deprecated, make sure to migrate usage to a recommended replacement before the shutdown date to avoid failing requests. All API deprecations along with recommended replacements are listed below.
