The end of the GPT-3 base-model lineage, retired September 28. The three shipped in August 2023, inherited the job when the original ada/babbage/curie/davinci died in January 2024, and were the last models served over the legacy /v1/completions endpoint. OpenAI's suggested replacement is gpt-5.6-terra; their fine-tuned versions outlive them by 25 days.
