#3851 backend deprecated models check - 2026-09-11 · puter

Automated check of the backend's hardcoded model lists against the live model API (https://ai-models.puter.work/<provider>).

Reports only deprecated models — backend entries whose id and none of whose aliases appear anywhere in the upstream name set (upstream id + name + every aliases entry, lowercased, models/ prefix stripped). Read-only; no files were modified.

Deprecations

chat/openai (1)

o3-pro

Notes: upstream still serves o3, o3-mini, o3-2025-04-16, o4-mini — only the -pro variant is gone. Backend aliases o3-pro-2025-06-10 and openai/o3-pro are also absent upstream.

chat/mistral (2)

mistral-large-2512
zai-glm-5-2

Notes: the Mistral endpoint's full model list has no mistral-large* entry at all (mistral-large-latest doesn't resolve either) — only small/medium/ministral/codestral/magistral/voxtral remain. zai-glm-5-2 (glm-5-2), a third-party GLM model hosted on Mistral's infra, also has no upstream entry.

chat/deepseek (2)

deepseek-v4-flash
deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp

Notes: the DeepSeek endpoint now lists only deepseek-flash and deepseek-v4-pro. Neither backend model's id nor any of its aliases (deepseek-chat, deepseek-reasoner, etc.) matches upstream — deepseek-v4-pro itself is unaffected and still resolves.

tts/xai (1)

xai-tts

Notes: this is the only entry in ai-tts/providers/xai/costs.ts, so the whole xAI TTS provider is affected. The xAI endpoint does cover non-chat modalities (it lists grok-imagine-image*, matching the backend's image models), but contains no tts/speech/audio/voice model under any id or alias. Same as prior weeks' finding — worth a manual confirmation before removal, since xAI may simply not expose TTS on this listing.

Clean (no deprecations)

chat: claude, gemini, moonshot, minimax, xai, zai, alibaba · image: gemini, openai, xai · tts: gemini, openai · video: gemini

(No ai-video provider exists for openai in this repo, so that pair was not applicable to check.)

Verify manually

zai: none — the endpoint returned its full 10-model catalog (glm-5.3, glm-5.3-flash, glm-5.2, glm-5.1, glm-5, glm-5-turbo, glm-4.7, glm-4.6, glm-4.5, glm-4.5-air) and every backend zai model matched directly this run.
