    Yes. According to the current Azure OpenAI model lifecycle documentation, gpt-5.3-chat (version 2025-12-11) is listed as a Preview model with a retirement date of 2026-06-01.

    So the information that gpt-5.3-chat will be retired in June 2026 is accurate based on the referenced model retirements table.

    Hello Albert Wibowo,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A,

    Yes, based on the official Microsoft documentation, the preview version of gpt-5.3-chat (version 2025-12-11) is scheduled for retirement on June 1, 2026.

    This retirement applies to that specific model version rather than the entire GPT-5.3 family. Azure follows a versioned lifecycle approach, where individual model versions are periodically retired and replaced with newer versions.

    We recommend planning to migrate to the designated replacement model or the latest available version before the retirement date to avoid service disruption.

    I Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further queries.
