Google Cloud Vertex AI model retirement dates
When Google Cloud Vertex AI stops serving each model AIWire tracks, as Google Cloud Vertex AI's own pages say. A platform can retire a model before or after the company's own API does; those dates are on the shutdown tracker.

Google Cloud Vertex AI still serves these models and has not scheduled a shutdown. A "not before" date is the soonest Google Cloud Vertex AI can stop the model, not a shutdown date; it may keep it running longer.
