3. Anthropic Keyless CI Deprecation Gate & Feeds

Feeds & CI

Run this zero-key curl + jq check in CI pipelines to block deprecated or retired Anthropic model IDs against GET /api/v1/eol.json, or subscribe via RSS, Atom, and iCal.

curl -fsSL https://eol.codeap.com/api/v1/eol.json | jq -e \
  --arg prov "anthropic" \
  --arg models "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929,claude-mythos-preview" '
    ($models | split(",") | map(ascii_downcase)) as $targets
    | [.models[]
       | select(.providerKey == $prov)
       | select((.modelId | ascii_downcase) as $id | $targets | index($id))
       | select(.status == "deprecated" or .status == "retired")]
    | if length > 0 then
        (map("BLOCKED: \(.provider) \(.modelId) [\(.status | ascii_upcase)] EOL=\(.eolDate // "n/a") -> \(.replacementModel // "none")") | .[] | stderr), halt_error(1)

4. Anthropic Deprecation & Migration FAQ

How many Anthropic models are currently deprecated or retired in LLMEOL?

LLMEOL currently tracks 38 Anthropic model entries: 2 deprecated models with upcoming shutdowns, 19 retired models that have passed their UTC EOL date, and 17 active models with no announced shutdown date.

How should engineering teams audit Anthropic model IDs in .env and LiteLLM files?

Set ANTHROPIC_MODEL in .env files or use the anthropic/ prefix in LiteLLM router configs, then paste your snippet into the Local Model Config Auditor to flag retired and deprecated Anthropic snapshots with zero network upload.

Can CI pipelines block deprecated Anthropic models automatically without an API key?

Yes. Query https://eol.codeap.com/api/v1/eol.json with curl and jq filtered by providerKey to fail pull requests whenever a configured Anthropic model enters DEPRECATED or RETIRED state.
