OpenAI is retiring about 15 models on July 23, including several Codex variants
A Reddit post summarizes OpenAI’s deprecation page and says roughly 15 models will be shut down in one batch on July 23, 2026.
Notable removals
- Codex / coding models: gpt-5-codex, gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5.1-codex-max, gpt-5.1-codex-mini, gpt-5.2-codex
- Chat aliases: gpt-5-chat-latest, gpt-5.1-chat-latest
- Search / tools / preview: computer-use-preview-2025-03-11, gpt-4o-search-preview-2025-03-11, gpt-4o-mini-search-preview-2025-03-11
- Audio / realtime / TTS and deep research variants are also listed
The post warns that migrations are not always drop-in: output format, tone, and tool-calling behavior can change, so production users should test carefully before switching.
