GPT-3.5

Claims and evidence

• Released 15 March 2022OpenAI released text-davinci-002 and code-davinci-002 as new versions of GPT-3 and Codex in this post. It later grouped them with text-davinci-003 as the GPT-3.5 series (model index for researchers); the series was never announced under that name. ● Primary source[2]page date; first paragraph and insert section
• Deprecated 6 July 2023code-davinci-002 was already listed in the 2023-03-20 Codex models notice with shutdown on 2023-03-23; the 2023-07-06 notice lists it again with shutdown on 2024-01-04. ● Primary source[3]2023-07-06: GPT and embeddings
• Retired 4 January 2024 ● Primary source[3]2023-07-06: GPT and embeddings

• Status Retiredtext-davinci-002 and text-davinci-003 (InstructGPT models) and code-davinci-002 (Base GPT models) are listed with shutdown on 2024-01-04. ● Primary source[3]2023-07-06: GPT and embeddings
• Replaced by GPT-3.5 TurboThe deprecations page names gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct as the recommended replacement for text-davinci-002, text-davinci-003 and code-davinci-002. ● Primary source[3]2023-07-06: GPT and embeddings
