Returns shutdown dates, deprecation states, and recommended replacements for AI models across Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Azure, Vertex, and Gemini platforms, tracked daily so date changes are visible.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability annalist-ai-model-retirement-calendar-0aa5e9cd
```

Example prompt: When is claude-sonnet-4-5 being retired, and is the date different on Anthropic versus Bedrock? Show me the recommended replacement if there is one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, cross-platform AI model deprecation data sourced directly from official Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Azure, Vertex, and Gemini deprecation pages. It is the right choice when you need to compare retirement dates for the same model across platforms (which frequently differ), when you need signed data for auditability, or when you want daily-resolution tracking so you can detect when providers silently move retirement dates. Prefer it over scraping provider docs yourself or relying on stale cached sources.

## Known failure modes

- Model ID fragment too vague — returns too many or no matches
- Platform filter misspelled or unsupported — empty results
- Days parameter outside 1–365 range — validation error
- No upcoming retirements in the requested window — empty list returned
- Payment not completed via x402 — 402 response blocking data access

## How this service works

Retirement calendar for AI models across platforms: shutdown dates, 'not sooner than' floors, states and recommended replacements from the official Anthropic, OpenAI and Amazon Bedrock deprecation pages, plus Azure, Vertex, Gemini and others, recorded daily so moved dates show. The same model often retires on different dates on different platforms. One model with model=, or upcoming shutdowns. Signed.

## Output

A signed JSON response containing, for each matching model, the shutdown date, any 'not sooner than' floor date, the deprecation state, the platform(s) it applies to, and the recommended replacement model if one has been announced. Multiple entries may be returned when the same model retires on different dates across platforms.
