How to migrate off o1-2024-12-17

  1. Find every place that references it:
    grep -rn --exclude-dir={node_modules,.git,dist} "o1-2024-12-17" .
  2. Replace the model ID:
    - model: "o1-2024-12-17"
    + model: "gpt-5.6-sol"
  3. Re-run your evals or a sample of real prompts — output style, token usage and pricing can change between models.
  4. Check config outside code too: environment variables, feature flags, prompt-management tools, and fine-tuned model references.
  5. Deploy before October 23, 2026, and add the CI scanner so it cannot come back.
