Deprecation Policy

Overview

Arcee models are actively maintained and updated to provide the latest performance and reliability improvements. Cloud-hosted versions may be retired as part of regular updates, while all released models remain downloadable on Hugging Face for independent use.

Versioning & Updates

• Cloud models are versioned and may be replaced quickly when new improvements are available.

• Downloads remain stable, ensuring your workflows are not disrupted.

• Deprecated cloud versions may stop receiving updates or support after the notice period.

Deprecation Criteria

A model may be retired due to:

• Release of a new or improved version

• Security or reliability concerns

Notice & Transition

• Typical notice for standard cloud models: up to 5 business days

• Widely adopted models: 30 days

• Notifications are provided via email, API dashboard, and changelog, with guidance for migration or upgrades.

Commitment

We aim to balance rapid innovation with user flexibility, keeping cloud models current while ensuring downloadable models remain fully accessible.
