Let’s break it all down!

OpenAI Ends GPT-4.5 Preview – Time to Upgrade
Quick Summary:
OpenAI will shut down gpt-4.5-preview access on July 14, 2025. If you're still using it via the API, switch to GPT-4.1 now.

OpenAI recommends GPT-4.1
GPT-4.1 offers better results, lower latency, and reduced cost

Claude Opus 3 will be retired from the API on January 5, 2026. Anthropic encourages users to switch to Opus 4 as soon as possible.
Key Insights:
