OpenAI retiring GPT-3.5 Turbo by June 2025 — migration to GPT-4o-mini required
Action Required
Applications using GPT-3.5 Turbo will fail after June 30 unless migrated to a supported model, leading to potential downtime and data loss.
AI Impact Summary
OpenAI is retiring GPT-3.5 Turbo with a hard deadline of June 30, 2025. Any application still calling this model will break after that date. GPT-4o-mini is the recommended replacement at a similar price point, but code changes are needed for any custom fine-tuned 3.5 models. This is a critical deprecation impacting existing applications that rely on GPT-3.5 Turbo.
