New models are frequently evaluated and released as part of the W&B Inference catalog. Older models are regularly reviewed and may be retired to prioritize the most in-demand and highest-quality offerings.

​
Model lifecycle stages

Models in W&B Inference use the following terminology for the stages of their lifecycle:
  • Experimental: The model is available for initial experimentation, but is not bound by our standard SLA or deprecation process.
  • Generally available: The model is fully supported and is recommended for use.
  • Deprecated: The model is scheduled for removal. Customers should update to a recommended replacement as soon as possible.
  • Retired: The model is no longer available. Any requests to retired models fail and return an HTTP 404 status code for all requests.

​
Deprecation process

When deprecating a generally available model, W&B will provide at least two weeks of notice on this page before the model is retired. We additionally attempt to notify recent users of a deprecated model via email and provide recommendations for replacement models. Models that are in the deprecated stage continue to serve requests.
