Track OpenAI model releases, deprecations, and SDK updates
Never get blindsided by an OpenAI model deprecation or SDK breaking change
APIDrift tracks OpenAI's Python SDK releases on GitHub daily, catching model deprecations, parameter changes, and response format shifts before they hit production. OpenAI regularly sunsets GPT models with limited notice and ships SDK major versions that restructure response objects and rename methods. Stay ahead of breaking changes like optional content fields, removed model IDs, and new required parameters so your AI-powered features keep running smoothly.

OpenAI deprecates models and changes SDK behavior without much warning
Model sunset dates can change, the SDK refactors response objects between major versions, and new parameters replace old ones. If you're building on the OpenAI API, you need to know about these changes before your production completions start returning errors.
“We woke up to a flood of 404s because gpt-4-0314 got sunsetted. Our fallback model wasn't configured and the SDK upgrade guide was three pages long. Two hours of downtime for our core feature.”

Example: What an alert looks like
v2.0.0: Response objects restructured — ChatCompletion.choices[].message.content is now optional
The content field on chat completion messages is now Optional[str] instead of str. When the model uses tool calls, content may be None. All code accessing .content must handle the None case.
gpt-4-32k sunset date moved to 2026-06-01 — migrate to gpt-4o
The gpt-4-32k model will be removed on June 1, 2026. Requests after that date will automatically route to gpt-4o. Update your model parameter to avoid unexpected behavior changes.
