Action recommended: Prepare for model version retirement in Azure OpenAI

**On 5 July 2024, we'll begin updating Azure OpenAI deployments that use the model indicated in the _Account information_ section of the email sent to account administrators to stop inference traffic**. The update will be completed within two weeks of that date. **Recommended action:** **Migrate your applications and workflows that use the model indicated in the _Account information_ section of the email sent to account administrators to a replacement model by 5 July 2024** to ensure they'll continue working as expected after the retirement. **Help and support:** If you have questions, ask community experts in [Microsoft Q&A](https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/tags/387/azure-openai).
