Deprecation

Open-source models advance rapidly. Baseten prioritizes serving the highest-quality models and deprecates specific Model APIs when stronger alternatives become available. When Baseten selects a model for deprecation, it follows this process:

​

Announcement

• Baseten announces deprecations approximately two weeks before the deprecation date.
• Baseten updates the documentation to identify the deprecated model and recommend a replacement.
• Baseten contacts affected users by email.

​

Transition

The deprecated model remains fully functional until the deprecation date. You have approximately two weeks to transition using one of these options:

• Migrate to a dedicated deployment with the deprecated model weights. Contact us for assistance.
• Update your code to use an active model (the deprecation announcement recommends one).

​

Deprecation date

• The deprecated model ID becomes inactive and returns an error for all requests.
• Baseten publishes a changelog notification with the recommended replacement.

​

Planned deprecations

No deprecations are currently scheduled.
