  • Alias->snapshot mapping from archived official Anthropic models overview (https://web.archive.org/web/20251119121442/https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/about-claude/models/overview ; https://web.archive.org/web/20250303051919/https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models/all-models ; https://web.archive.org/web/20260105042128/https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/models/overview). The alias resolves to this dated snapshot; Anthropic has not published any repointing, so it is treated as retired with the snapshot.
  • Dates apply to Anthropic-operated platforms (Claude API, Claude Platform on AWS, Claude on Google Cloud (Anthropic managed), Microsoft Foundry). Bedrock and Vertex AI (Google managed) set their own dates - see provider aws-bedrock / vertex-ai.
