Per the page: a "deprecation" is the announcement that a model is no longer supported and will be "shut down" soon; once "shutdown", the endpoint is completely turned off and no longer available. Shutdown dates are the earliest possible retirement dates; exact dates are communicated separately. Status here reflects the page's version label (GA / Preview / Experimental); items with a shutdown/retirement date are marked Deprecated, and those with "No shutdown announced" are Active. Dates printed exactly as on the page; release dates given as "Released On". Some preview/experimental rows have no release date listed on the page.
