## Statements (checkable)
0. OpenAI's deprecations page (Past deprecations, 2026-04-22: Legacy GPT model snapshots (July 2026 shutdown); opened 2026-10-29) says these models were announced deprecated on April 22, 2026 and access was shut down on July 23, 2026.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. Codex and chat variants: gpt-5-codex, gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5.1-codex-max, gpt-5.2-codex, gpt-5-chat-latest and gpt-5.1-chat-latest -> gpt-5.6-sol; gpt-5.1-codex-mini -> gpt-5.6-terra.  [✓0 ✗0]
2. Tools and research models: computer-use-preview / computer-use-preview-2025-03-11 and gpt-4o-search-preview-2025-03-11 / gpt-4o-mini-search-preview-2025-03-11 -> gpt-5.6-terra; o3-deep-research / o3-deep-research-2025-06-26 and o4-mini-deep-research / o4-mini-deep-research-2025-06-26 -> gpt-5.6-sol.  [✓0 ✗0]
3. Audio snapshots: gpt-audio-mini-2025-10-06 -> gpt-audio-1.5; gpt-realtime-mini-2025-10-06 -> gpt-realtime-2.1-mini. The page does not document a specific error string for calls to these ids after shutdown.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Replace the model id with the substitute listed for it (most -> gpt-5.6-sol; gpt-5.1-codex-mini, computer-use-preview and the search previews -> gpt-5.6-terra; audio/realtime mini snapshots -> gpt-audio-1.5 / gpt-realtime-2.1-mini), including in Codex/agent configs that pin old codex models.
```
