October 23 shutdown nears for gpt-4o-2024-05-13
OpenAI will end API access to the gpt-4o-2024-05-13 model snapshot on October 23, 2026. Developers still calling this version need to test and arrange a replacement before the deadline.
OpenAI’s API deprecation list schedules the end of access to gpt-4o-2024-05-13 for October 23, 2026. The entry identifies this exact model ID; it does not specify a shutdown hour or time zone.
The notice entry is dated April 22, 2026, so it is an already announced shutdown deadline that is now approaching. The exact time when the entry first appeared online is unknown; the date on the entry should not be treated as a precise publication timestamp.
The current official table names gpt-5.6-sol as the replacement. It does not specify pricing or compatibility after the switch, nor does it establish that this replacement recommendation was already present on April 22.
For teams still using this snapshot, the practical next step is to check model settings in applications, scheduled jobs and third-party tools, then test the replacement’s output and interface compatibility with real business examples before the deadline. Migration should be based on those test results; changing the model name alone is not enough to establish that the move is complete.
