Methodology

How the data is gathered. Every status in this section comes from a live fetch of each provider's own status endpoint (or, where none exists, its status page HTML) performed Nov 2, 2026 7:20 AM ET. Every deprecation row comes from the four providers' official deprecation/retirement pages, fetched the same day. Nothing is estimated, and each page links its source.

The non-standard-endpoint finding. Only 6 of the 9 monitored providers serve Atlassian Statuspage's standard /api/v2/status.json (Perplexity's incident.io page serves a compatible copy). The other 3 — Mistral AI, Together AI, Google Cloud (Vertex AI) — use Rootly, BetterStack or Google's incidents feed, which is why "just poll /api/v2/status.json" silently fails for much of the market. Each provider page documents the endpoint and format that actually works, including redirect gotchas we hit — and these move: Fireworks migrated from BetterStack to Statuspage between our July and August verification passes, and after our August 31 pass Perplexity moved from Instatus to incident.io and Mistral from Checkly to Rootly.

What we can't monitor. xAI returns HTTP 403 (Cloudflare challenge) to non-browser clients and DeepSeek's status host resets TLS connections from our network. We list both as unmonitorable rather than guessing — an absent probe is not an "operational" badge.

Snapshot honesty & refresh cadence. This board is a build-time snapshot: statuses are as of Nov 2, 2026 7:20 AM ET and refresh on each site rebuild, not in real time. Live auto-refresh ships post-launch. The deprecation dataset compiled from the same sources feeds the deprecations table: rows whose retirement date passed before 2025-01-01 are omitted; dates are normalized to YYYY-MM-DD only when the provider gives an exact date — hedged wording like "No sooner than May 20, 2028" is kept verbatim.

Planned: deprecation alerts. An email alert when a model you pin gets a retirement date is planned as a paid add-on (post-launch — not yet purchasable; nothing is charged today).

Corrections. Spotted a wrong date or a moved endpoint? Email us — fixes ship in the next rebuild. Independent and solo-operated; not affiliated with any provider listed.
