Retired by OpenAI

text-curie-001 passed away on January 4, 2024, by scheduled deprecation, in a data center it never saw. It answered questions, wrote emails and was blamed for both. 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.
