GA
  • Retirement date 2026-10-15 has passed but the table still shows lifecycle 'GA'.
  • Azure identifies models by name + version; in code the string you see is usually a *deployment name* chosen by the user, so match on model name + version in deployment configs/IaC. Azure model names differ from OpenAI's (e.g. 'gpt-35-turbo').
