Anthropic Model Deprecation & EOL Lifecycle Hub
Monitor all 38 normalized Anthropic lifecycle records (2 deprecated, 19 retired, 17 active). Audit ANTHROPIC_MODEL variables in the Local .env Auditor or compare replacement costs in DevToken.
Anthropic publishes model deprecation and retirement dates independently from third-party cloud hosters. Pin exact dated snapshots in ANTHROPIC_MODEL or anthropic/ LiteLLM routes and validate upgrades against this isolated Anthropic catalog.

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.
