The Assistants API shut down on August 26, 2026, with no further access. Additionally, several transcription models (whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize) are deprecated and will shut down February 26, 2027.

Migration: Migrate from the Assistants API to the Responses API and Conversations API using the official migration guide. For transcription, migrate to gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe before February 26, 2027.

OpenAI added 'Create an environment' and 'List environments' endpoints to the Agents API Environments section, expanding environment management capabilities. The navigation structure now shows Environments as a full CRUD-like resource rather than just 'Retrieve an environment'.

Migration: No migration needed. Developers building on the Agents API can now programmatically create and list environments in addition to retrieving them.

deprecationhigh97% confidence

OpenAI has announced the deprecation of whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, and gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize (shutdown February 26, 2027), and has confirmed the Assistants API shut down on August 26, 2026. Migration targets are gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe, and the Responses/Conversations API respectively.

Migration: Migrate transcription workloads from whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, and gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize to gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe before February 26, 2027. If still using the Assistants API, migrate immediately to the Responses API and Conversations API using the provided migration guide.

new_featureinfo92% confidence

OpenAI has added support for a new `X-Client-Request-Id` request header that allows developers to supply their own unique identifier for each API request. This ID is logged internally by OpenAI and can be used for troubleshooting when the server-generated `x-request-id` response header is unavailable (e.g., due to timeouts or network issues).

Migration: Optionally add the `X-Client-Request-Id` header (ASCII only, max 512 characters, must be unique per request) to supported endpoints such as chat/completions, embeddings, and responses to improve request traceability and support workflows.

OpenAI's changelog covers a large number of updates from May–October 2026, including new models (GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-Live-1, GPT Transcribe, GPT Image 2.5), new APIs and capabilities (Agents API, Prompt Cache Diagnostics, Ultrafast mode, async tool calling, mid-turn steering, mTLS, Terraform provider, computer use, hard spend limits, IPv6 support), and several deprecations (whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe variants, Assistants API shutdown, reusable prompt objects, Evals platform, Agent Builder).

Migration: Review the deprecations carefully: the Assistants API shut down August 26, 2026 (migrate to Responses API); whisper-1 and gpt-4o-transcribe* models shut down February 26, 2027 (migrate to gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe); GPT-6 Astra does not support temperature/top_p/logprobs or 'none' reasoning effort and requires Responses API for tool calling.

OpenAI has added a new 'Administration' section to the API reference navigation, exposing a large set of administrative endpoints covering Admin API Keys, Audit Logs, Certificates, Data Retention, External Storage, Groups, Roles, Users, Invites, Projects, Rate Limits, Service Accounts, Spend Alerts, Spend Limits, and Usage reporting. These endpoints were previously absent from the documented API reference.

Migration: Review the new Administration endpoints if your application manages org-level resources (users, API keys, projects, spend limits, etc.) — you may be able to migrate manual workflows to these APIs.

This is a bulk changelog dump spanning multiple months with dozens of distinct changes.

Migration: Review the deprecation notices urgently: Assistants API shut down Aug 26 2026 (migrate to Responses/Conversations API); whisper-1 and gpt-4o-transcribe* shut down Feb 26 2027 (migrate to gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe); DALL·E 2/3 snapshots already removed May 12 2026. For GPT-6 Astra, note it does not support 'none' reasoning effort, custom temperature/top_p, logprobs, or tool calling via Chat Completions.

OpenAI's changelog covers a large number of updates from April–September 2026, including new models (GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 family, GPT-Realtime-2.1, GPT Transcribe, GPT-Live-1, GPT Image 2.5), new APIs and features (Agents API, Prompt Cache Diagnostics, Daybreak security tiers, mTLS, Terraform provider, Secure MCP Tunnel, workload identity federation, hard spend limits, API key governance), deprecations (whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe variants, Assistants API shutdown, DALL·E snapshots), and various behavioral/pricing changes. Notable breaking items include the Assistants API shutdown on Aug 26, 2026, and DALL·E snapshot removals on May 12, 2026.

Migration: If using the Assistants API, migrate to the Responses/Conversations API immediately (shutdown Aug 26, 2026). If using whisper-1 or gpt-4o-transcribe variants, migrate to gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe before Feb 26, 2027. If using DALL·E snapshots (dall-e-2, dall-e-3), switch to gpt-image-2 or gpt-image-1. For GPT-6 Astra, note it does not support 'none' reasoning effort, custom temperature/top_p, logprobs, or tool calling via Chat Completions.

OpenAI's changelog documents a large number of new models, API features, deprecations, and behavioral changes spanning from April 2026 through September 2026, including new GPT-6 models, Agents API, GPT-Live, transcription models, image generation models, mTLS, Terraform provider, and more. Several significant deprecations are also announced, including whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe variants, DALL·E snapshots, and the Assistants API shutdown.

Migration: Review the deprecations page immediately: the Assistants API shut down Aug 26 2026 (migrate to Responses API), whisper-1/gpt-4o-transcribe variants shut down Feb 26 2027 (migrate to gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe), DALL·E 2/3 snapshots already removed May 12 2026 (use gpt-image-2/1). Also note GPT-6 Astra does not support 'none' reasoning_effort, custom temperature/top_p, logprobs, or tool calling via Chat Completions.

OpenAI released numerous new models, APIs, and features across a multi-month changelog spanning May–September 2026, including GPT-6 Astra/Sol/Luna, GPT-Live-1, GPT-Transcribe, Agents API public beta, mTLS, Terraform provider, and various platform governance controls. Several deprecations were also announced, including whisper-1, DALL-E snapshots, and the Assistants API shutdown.

Migration: Review the deprecation notices closely: the Assistants API shut down on Aug 26 2026 (migrate to Responses/Conversations API), whisper-1 and gpt-4o-transcribe variants shut down Feb 26 2027 (migrate to gpt-live-transcribe or gpt-transcribe), and DALL-E 2/3 snapshots were removed May 12 2026 (use gpt-image-2 or gpt-image-1). For GPT-6 Astra, note it does not support 'none' reasoning effort, custom temperature/top_p, or logprobs, and tool calling requires the Responses API.
