Engineering insights, architecture and analysis of cloud, AI and developer platforms.
Subscribe to receive by emailWe measured how long AI model endpoints actually live. Median support window: 365 days, against 1,127 days for every other hosted service we track. Data from 1,759 releases, 4 August - 4 September 2026.
End-of-life dates for 19 AI models across OpenAI, Gemini and Anthropic, tracked 6 July to 3 August 2026. Five have already passed.
Install read-only on a repo and it opens a GitHub Issue when a Terraform provider ships breaking changes past your pin, or when a version you run approaches end of life. Issues update in place and close themselves when you've upgraded.
Introducing the ReleaseBytes EOL Tracker: end-of-life dates for the cloud and data stack - Kubernetes, databases, Databricks runtimes, language versions and AI model shutdowns - with email and Slack alerts at 90, 30 and 7 days out.
Connect ReleaseBytes to Claude, Cursor and any MCP-compatible assistant with one URL, and ask about the latest release notes, breaking changes and weekly digests across AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenAI, Anthropic and more.
We analysed 839 platform releases from Jun 8 - Jul 5, 2026. Most were routine. 78 were not - retirements, breaking changes and security advisories from Azure, GitHub, GCP, Databricks and more.
Engineering teams now depend on dozens of cloud, AI and developer platforms. We built ReleaseBytes to make staying up to date simple again.
