code-davinci-002, 2022–2024
Retired by OpenAI
It taught a generation of developers that a machine could finish their for-loops. Then GitHub took the credit.
code-davinci-002, an OpenAI model that wrote code that other people then took credit for, was switched off on January 4, 2024, aged 1 year and 9 months. Calls to its ID are now expected to fail.
Survived by gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct, younger, cheaper, and named in the same documentation table.
