Azure OpenAI retires sora-2 (version 2025-12-08) — three weeks after OpenAI shut down its own Sora 2 API
Nothing to move to. Microsoft's retirement schedule shows '—' in the Replacement column for sora-2 version 2025-12-08, and its lifecycle page says that when no replacement exists 'customers get 30 days notice before the model retires and inference returns 410 Gone.' OpenAI names no replacement on its side either.
This date passed and nothing is filedThe board is not claiming it happened. This desk has not checked.
Sources and checks
A Preview-stage 'not sooner than' date, not a committed shutdown. The schedule lists this sora-2 version as Preview, and Microsoft's lifecycle page says Preview models 'launch with a "not sooner than" retirement date (typically 90 days out), but are sometimes extended beyond that initial window, until a suitable replacement preview or GA model version is available.' The same page answers 'Can I get an exception to extend a model's retirement date?' with 'No.' — that is about a customer asking, not about Microsoft moving its own Preview date. Microsoft's schedule (page dated September 21, updated September 23), not an observation: this desk cannot test Azure deployments. The same table lists an earlier sora-2 version, 2025-10-06, with a July 15 retirement date and this version as its replacement.

Moonshot AI's Kimi-K2.7-Code, a Preview model Azure sells, retires from Microsoft Foundry — the day after GitHub Copilot drops the same model
Nothing to move to. Microsoft's retirement schedule shows '—' in the Replacement column for Kimi-K2.7-Code. GitHub's Copilot notice suggests Kimi K3 for the same model on October 2, but that is GitHub's recommendation for its own tool, not Microsoft's for Foundry.
This date passed and nothing is filedThe board is not claiming it happened. This desk has not checked.
Sources and checks
A Preview-stage 'not sooner than' date that Microsoft's lifecycle page says is 'sometimes extended beyond that initial window'. The Copilot removal on October 2 is a separate row; Moonshot AI's own API is not covered here.

Microsoft retires its own image models MAI-Image-2.5, MAI-Image-2.5-Flash and MAI-Image-2.5-Pro from Foundry
Nothing to move to. The retirement schedule shows '—' in the Replacement column for all three, although the same table lists MAI-Image-2.5 and MAI-Image-2.5-Flash as the replacements for MAI-Image-2 and MAI-Image-2e, retired August 15. Microsoft's MAI image how-to page lists the Preview models MAI-Image-2.6 and MAI-Image-2.6-Flash without calling them replacements.
This date passed and nothing is filedThe board is not claiming it happened. This desk has not checked.
Sources and checks
A Preview-stage 'not sooner than' date: all three are Preview models, and Microsoft's lifecycle page says Preview models 'launch with a "not sooner than" retirement date (typically 90 days out), but are sometimes extended beyond that initial window'. This desk cannot test Foundry deployments or see the 30-day notice the policy promises when no replacement exists.
