Google says all requests to gemini-3.7-flash are automatically routed to gemini-3.8-flash, and all requests to gemini-3.5-flash to gemini-3.6-flash, with no shutdown date announced
Google's Gemini API changelog says gemini-3.7-flash and gemini-3.5-flash are deprecated and that all requests to them are automatically routed to gemini-3.8-flash and gemini-3.6-flash respectively; it tells developers to update the model string. The items sit under an entry dated October 8 but are missing from an Internet Archive capture of October 9. The deprecations page lists 'No shutdown date announced' for both, and the pricing page no longer has a 3.7 Flash or 3.5 Flash section.

Google schedules its older Deep Research agent to shut down October 23 and names two migration targets
Google's October 8 Gemini API changelog says its December 2025 Deep Research preview agent will shut down October 23. It names two April 2026 agents as replacements and tells developers to change the agent parameter in their requests. The deprecations table qualifies listed shutdown dates as the earliest possible. The announcement was read October 9; no endpoint availability was tested.

62,500 credits are a welcome bridge. They do not erase the allowance change.
Our account received a substantial Work and Codex credit grant. We are grateful for the runway—and still need to plan around October 29 and the December 31 expiry.
DevDay brings Dots: an agent with an ongoing job, not just another chat
OpenAI launches always-on agents alongside cloud Codex, plugin events and new collaboration surfaces. Availability and permissions still matter.
Give the agent a job in the world—and let useful work pay its owner
Dots makes an exciting piece of our world feel closer: agents that find funded work, produce a reviewable result and help their owners earn. The payment loop still has to be built.
GPT-6.1 Sol puts the cost of repeated agent work back in the discussion
OpenAI lists $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with vendor benchmarks approaching Astra on selected tasks.
Pro 500 arrives now. Existing Pro 200 users face an October 29 transition.
A new $500 tier adds a higher allowance and Ultrafast access. Eligible existing $200 subscribers retain their previous allowance through October 29.
The event is the start. The finished work is what matters.
Plugin events and persistent agents could make our world responsive to real work. The useful measure is the accepted result, not how often the agent wakes up.
August 19: one shutdown date, two vendors, and two different exits.
In seven days the Assistants API stops answering. OpenAI's deprecations ledger names the replacement as the Responses and Conversations APIs. Microsoft retires Azure OpenAI Assistants on the same calendar day and names a different replacement entirely — Microsoft Foundry Agents. Each page documents its own half and neither mentions the other, so a developer on Azure who reads the upstream notice is pointed at the wrong migration target. Both pages were read in full today and are quoted here.
