DigitalOcean Gradient deprecates Claude 3.5 Haiku, 3.7 Sonnet, and 3.5 Sonnet as end‑of‑life with no restoration. OpenAI and Anthropic commercial models now default to DigitalOcean API keys for new agents, with Bring-Your-Own-Key option and consolidated billing.
We have deprecated the following Anthropic models from DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform:
- Claude 3.5 Haiku
- Claude 3.7 Sonnet
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Deprecation indicates that a model has reached end-of-life and is no longer accessible. API or CLI requests to the model return
model not found, and restoration is not possible. Users must migrate to a supported Active model prior to the retirement date to prevent service disruption.OpenAI and Anthropic commercial models now default to using DigitalOcean API keys when creating new agents
This allows you to have consolidated billing for all agent usage and no keys to manage on your own. If you want, you can bring your own keys when creating new agents or continue using your own keys for existing agents. For more information on pricing, see the pricing details.
