To optimize resource utilization and ensure you can use the latest and best models, Model Studio deprecates historical models based on model iteration and upgrades from time to time.
Notification
Timeline
Snapshot models (model names with specific date identifiers, such as qwen-max-2025-01-25) will send deprecation notices 30 days before the deprecation date.
Main models (core versions of a model series) will send deprecation notices 3 months before the deprecation date.
Methods
Through emails, internal messages, and announcements on the official website.
Only users who have called the to-be-deprecated models within the last 3 months will receive the emails and internal messages.
Impacts
From the date of the deprecation notice, the QPM (queries per minute) and TPM (tokens per minute) limits of the to-be-deprecated model will be gradually reduced. If you have applied for quota rise, the system will first restore them to the default throttling limits, and then make further reduction. During this process, the model's API and console features will remain functional.
From the deprecation date:
Model inference: Model inference services will be discontinued. Applications and services that call the deprecated model will no longer return responses.
Console features and documentation: The console features (in Models, Playground, and others) and documentation will be deprecated simultaneously.
Recommended steps
Go to Model Observation to check whether you are using models that will be deprecated.
If you are using these models, test the performance of alternative models and then switch to them.
