Cortex model deprecations for May 2026¶
The following model deprecations are planned for May 2026. Customers using these models in AI_COMPLETE, CORTEX.COMPLETE, Agents API, or Snowflake Intelligence are expected to transition to an alternative model in advance of the deprecation date to avoid disruption.
| Model | Deprecation date | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4 | May 1, 2026 | |
| OpenAI OSS 120B | May 1, 2026 | |
| OpenAI OSS 20B | May 1, 2026 | |
| Claude Sonnet 4 | May 19, 2026 | For Cortex Agents, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Code, Snowflake Intelligence *only* |
If the named model parameter is not updated, queries or API calls that reference the deprecated model will fail after the deprecation date.
