models.rip, a cemetery for deprecated AI models
An editorial archive that records retired AI models and benchmarks as graves, complete with dates, family plots, epitaphs, and evidence links.
Field notes
The archive groups entries by provider, including 11 OpenAI graves, 8 Anthropic graves, and smaller plots for companies such as Cohere, Mistral AI, and Stability AI. Its second section treats benchmark saturation as another form of obsolescence, pairing earlier and later scores for six named tests. The page distinguishes ordinary end dates from “plot reserved” entries and says that each date links to its source, making the cemetery function partly as a browsable historical index.
