Will gpt-chat-latest be GA soon?
Currently using gpt-5.3-chat in a workflow. It is going to be retired by the end of the month. Azure listed the recommended replacement is gpt-chat-latest, however it is still in "preview". Is this planned to be GA soon?

Hello @Tyler Kreider
At this time, gpt-chat-latest is still listed as a Preview model, and I am not aware of any public announcement providing a specific General Availability (GA) date. [learn.microsoft.com]
Since gpt-5.3-chat is being retired, Microsoft currently recommends migrating to gpt-chat-latest as the replacement model. However, the available documentation indicates that gpt-chat-latest continues to follow the Preview lifecycle and standard notice periods, rather than being GA today. [GPT-chat-l...for field | Seismic (MCAPS)]
For production workloads, I recommend:
- Testing your application with gpt-chat-latest before the retirement of gpt-5.3-chat
- Monitoring the Azure AI Foundry model documentation and release announcements for any future GA updates
- Planning for model upgrades according to the published retirement schedule
As of now, there is no published GA timeline for gpt-chat-latest that I could find in the available documentation.

- Foundry Models sold by Azure (lists GPT-chat-latest as Preview) [learn.microsoft.com]
Hope this helps! Do let me know if you have any further queries.
Thankyou!

Azure documentation lists
gpt-chat-latestas a Preview model and as the replacement for several retiring chat models, includinggpt-5.3-chat.However, there is no statement in the provided documentation that
gpt-chat-latestis, or will be, Generally Available (GA) by a specific date. The model follows the standard Preview lifecycle and retirement/upgrade policies, but no GA timeline is published.For now, the supported path when
gpt-5.3-chatretires is to migrate togpt-chat-latestas indicated in the model retirement schedule, understanding that it remains a Preview offering until Microsoft explicitly announces GA.
