> ## Agent Instructions
> Phaseo Gateway base URL: https://api.phaseo.app/v1. Send `Authorization: Bearer $PHASEO_API_KEY` with every request.
> Model IDs look like `provider/model`, for example `openai/gpt-6-astra`. Do not guess IDs: list them with `GET /v1/models` or check https://phaseo.app/models. `phaseo/free` routes to an available free model and needs no wallet balance.
> For new text integrations prefer `POST /v1/responses`. `POST /v1/chat/completions` (OpenAI format) and `POST /v1/messages` (Anthropic format) suit existing code.
> The full API contract is https://phaseo.app/docs/openapi/v1/openapi.yaml. Official SDKs: `@phaseo/sdk` (TypeScript) and `phaseo` (Python), plus Go, C#, PHP, Ruby and Rust.
> Search these docs over MCP at https://phaseo.app/docs/mcp, and install Phaseo skills with `npx skills add https://phaseo.app/docs`. If a page is wrong or out of date, report it with the MCP `submit_feedback` tool.
> Manage Phaseo accounts with the `phaseo` CLI (`npm install -g @phaseo/cli`, then `phaseo login` or `phaseo login --device-code`), the `/v1` Management API or the MCP server at `https://mcp.phaseo.app/mcp?access=manage`. Do not send users to the dashboard for account tasks. A person is still needed for sign-up, approving a sign-in, paying the first top-up on the checkout link that `phaseo credits add` returns when no card is saved, confirming each saved-card top-up from the emailed link, and account security (password, MFA, passkeys). Create API keys with `phaseo keys create --name <name> --json`; never guess one. Credit top-ups need `phaseo login --scopes billing:write` first. Task map: https://phaseo.app/docs/v1/developers/manage-from-an-agent.md.

# OpenAI Deprecations

OpenAI publishes deprecation dates and recommended replacements on its [API deprecations page](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/deprecations). Use this page as a migration checklist, then validate the replacement against your production prompts, tools, latency, and cost envelope.

## Model deprecations

| Deprecated model family | Deprecation date | Shutdown date | Recommended replacement |
| - | - | - | - |
| `whisper-1`, `gpt-4o-transcribe`, `gpt-4o-mini-transcribe`, `gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize` | August 26, 2026 | February 26, 2027 | `openai/gpt-transcribe` or `openai/gpt-live-transcribe` |
| `gpt-realtime`, `gpt-audio`, `gpt-4o-audio`, `gpt-4o-realtime`, `gpt-realtime-mini`, `gpt-audio-mini`, `gpt-4o-mini-realtime`, `gpt-4o-mini-audio` | July 20, 2026 | January 20, 2027 | `openai/gpt-realtime-2.1`, `openai/gpt-realtime-2.1-mini`, or `openai/gpt-audio-1.5` |
| `gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-03-20` | July 20, 2026 | January 20, 2027 | `openai/gpt-4o-mini-transcribe` |
| GPT-5 and o3 dated snapshots | June 11, 2026 | December 11, 2026 | `openai/gpt-5.6-sol`, `openai/gpt-5.6-terra`, or `openai/gpt-5.6-luna` |
| `gpt-image-1-mini`, `gpt-image-1.5`, `chatgpt-image-latest` | June 2, 2026 | December 1, 2026 | `openai/gpt-image-2` |
| Legacy GPT-3.5, GPT-4, GPT-4.1 nano, GPT-4o, o1, o3-mini, and o4-mini snapshots | April 22, 2026 | October 23, 2026 | See the model-specific recommendations on OpenAI's deprecations page |
| Sora 2 models | March 24, 2026 | September 24, 2026 | No replacement announced |

The catalog records these lifecycle dates on the affected OpenAI model entries, including replacement model IDs where OpenAI provides one. The dates apply to the provider snapshots named by OpenAI; the catalog may expose those snapshots through a canonical model ID.

## Platform deprecations

OpenAI also lists product-level migrations that are not model records:

* Reusable prompts are scheduled to shut down on November 30, 2026. Move prompt content into application code.
* The Evals platform becomes read-only on October 31, 2026 and shuts down on November 30, 2026. OpenAI recommends migrating to Promptfoo.
* Agent Builder shuts down on November 30, 2026. Migrate to the Agents SDK or ChatGPT Workspace Agents.

## Migration checklist

1. Replace the deprecated model or product in a staging environment.
2. Re-run representative evaluations, especially structured outputs, tool calls, audio quality, and long-context tasks.
3. Compare latency and spend under production-like concurrency.
4. Canary the replacement with an explicit rollback route before the shutdown date.
