text-moderation-stable, ?–2025

Retired by OpenAI

text-moderation-stable, an OpenAI model that read the worst of the internet so others did not have to, was switched off on October 27, 2025. Code that still calls it will find out the hard way.

Its work passes to omni-moderation, which the family describes as 'recommended'.
