Announced end dates for generative video models

Three companies in this register have announced end dates for a video model: OpenAI for Sora, Google for five Veo identifiers, and Microsoft for the two sora-2 versions it hosts. Everything else tracked here has no announced date, which is not the same as having a future. As of 2026-09-12.

Inclusion rule. Dates announced in public by the vendor that makes the model. A date reported only by press coverage, or inferred from a model disappearing from a menu, is not listed. Order. Chronological.

1Where the dates come from is the finding

The calendar grew when this register started reading cloud platform documentation instead of only application pages, and the shape of what it found is the point. Every dated line above was published either by the company that built the model or by a platform that hosts it for other people. Not one of them came from an application that sells video generation to a production, and applications are what most buyers are actually paying.

The temptation is to read a blank column as safety. It is the opposite: a model with no announced date is not one with a guaranteed future, it is one whose vendor has not said anything. And a date is not automatically a commitment either. Google labels its shutdown column as the earliest a model might be retired, which makes those rows a floor rather than an appointment.

2What gets a row

A date published by the company that makes the model, or by a platform stating when it will stop serving a model it hosts. Not a date from press coverage, not a date inferred from a model vanishing from a reseller's menu, and not a deprecation notice without an end date attached. Those may all be true and none of them is a commitment a production can plan against.

When a model does leave a menu without an announcement, that shows up on the app page rather than here, because the fact is about the app's list and not about the model's life.
