Please upgrade to the latest Computer Vision GA service

Cannot create dataset in vision studio. Browser logs say this:

"message": "Computer Vision 2023-04-01-preview has been deprecated. Please upgrade to the latest Computer Vision GA service - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates?id=475779 "

However there is no path to upgrade. All the resources were created today, multiple instances... it is supposed that is something is deprecated the same azure portal and azure studio should not rely on it to create new instances, but here we are

    It seems the alternatives mentioned here will only live until 2028... I guess the only alternatives as stated in this notice https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/Custom-Vision-Service/overview are autoML and Azure Content understanding

    Hello wilson mendez,

    Thank you for reviewing the documentation and sharing your concern.

    The referred retirement notice applies specifically to Azure Custom Vision (legacy service), not to Azure AI Vision as a whole. The older vision services are being consolidated into a newer, unified platform. The 2028 date is a long transition window, not an indication that vision capabilities are ending.

    What is Custom Vision? - Foundry Tools | Microsoft Learn

    The long-term supported platform going forward is Azure AI Vision (GA). This is a General Availability service, meaning it is fully supported and part of the strategic roadmap.

    Azure AI Vision GA is the correct service for Vision Studio as of today.

    Thus, the recommended alternative to Custom Vision is to use platform‑level services.

    ·       For classic image classification and object detection, “Azure Machine Learning AutoML for vision” is the suggested long‑term path.

    ·       For broader, multi‑modal scenarios, “Azure Content Understanding in Foundry Tools “is a strategic, forward‑looking option.

    ·       Azure AI Vision wherever supported

    What is automated ML? AutoML - Azure Machine Learning | Microsoft Learn

    Thank you!

    Hello wilson mendez ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A .Thank you for reaching out.

    We understand and acknowledge the confusion caused by the portal allowing you to create a resource with deprecated API, which is resulting in errors.

    Currently, Azure is in the middle of transitioning from the legacy Computer Vision preview API to the newer Azure AI Vision GA service.

    Azure now separates Vision capabilities into:

    • Computer Vision (legacy)
    • Azure AI Vision (new GA service)

    Vision Studio now expects an Azure AI Vision resource and not the older "Computer Vision" resource. While the preview API has been retired, the portal still allows creation of the older resource type. When Vision Studio connects to that resource, it attempts to use the deprecated API endpoint, which is triggering the error.

     So, there is a resource mismatch problem and not an upgrade problem, thus the upgrade path is not visible.

    Please try to create an Azure AI Vision resource instead of Computer Vision resource .So that when Vision Studio connects, it uses a supported GA API version and dataset creation works. 

    Please refer the following to get started with Azure AI Vision

    What is Azure Vision in Foundry Tools? - Foundry Tools | Microsoft Learn

    What is Vision Studio? - Foundry Tools | Microsoft Learn

    Create an Azure AI services resource - Azure AI services | Azure Docs

    Please let me know if you have any questions. 

    Thank you!

    It seems that you are encountering an issue with the deprecated Computer Vision API version (2023-04-01-preview). To resolve this, you should upgrade to the latest General Availability (GA) version of the Computer Vision service. The deprecated versions (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1) will be retired on September 13, 2026, and it's recommended to migrate to the Computer Vision 3.2 API or the Image Analysis 4.0 API, which is currently in public preview.

    You can follow the quickstart guides provided in the Azure documentation to assist with the migration process:

    Ensure that all your resources are updated accordingly to avoid reliance on deprecated services.
