AI Model Retirement Lint

Runs the same checker as the npm package @readystack/ai-model-retirement-lint on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

Finds the LLM model IDs pinned in your code that vendors have already switched off, or have dated to switch off, with the replacement and the date.

Install

ai-model-retirement-lint file

Node 18+. The same 33 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Checks the file you have open against all 33 rules and names every retired or expiring model ID, its date and the vendor's replacement - no key, no limit, no watermark.
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Scans every file in the repository, emits CI output that fails the build before a dead model ID can merge, and applies the vendor's replacement in place.

OpenAI removes 12 model IDs from the API in one sweep on 2026-10-23; Anthropic gives 60 days notice before a retirement.
