docs(examples): replace retired OpenAI models with chat models - #2550
Shipped examples and copyable documentation still reference retired OpenAI models, causing a model-not-found 404 on the first request with a valid key.
For the v0.25.0 QA fix, replace retired GPT-3.5 model IDs with gpt-4o-mini and retired GPT-4 / GPT-4 Turbo IDs with gpt-4o. Update the matching README, notebook sources, docstrings and evaluation configs. Preserve sampling parameters and existing current-model examples.
This PR targets develop directly and has no dependency on the parser changes. #2514 retains the broader reasoning-model migration for a future release; the parser work in #2516 and #2517 remains separate.
Both replacement model families are scheduled to shut down on January 14, 2027, so this is an interim release fix. Source: OpenAI deprecations.
QA scope
This addresses the SDK content defect in NGR-1045. It does not complete NGR-1054: cases with their own model configs still require QA-repo changes. In particular, P0_examples_configs_streaming_threads needs its expected model changed from gpt-4 to gpt-4o, and model-swapping sed commands need review. QA must rerun the affected cases, including single-call dialog answer checks, before closing the issue.
NGR-1054 — separate QA-repo model/config/assertion updates; remains open.
Issue assignee: @Pouyanpi. Separate PR prepared under maintainer direction.
Verification
Pre-commit on all 75 changed files: passed, including Ruff and ty.
Focused offline tests: 23 passed (tests/test_config_loading.py, tests/test_example_rails.py, tests/v2_x/test_tutorial_examples.py, tests/test_rails_llm_config.py), using make test WORKERS=1 with live-provider keys unset.
All 42 changed YAML files differ only in OpenAI model IDs; 41 SDK config directories loaded successfully. The remaining YAML file is an evaluation judge config.
Notebook outputs and metadata are unchanged; notebooks were not executed.
Pinned Fern check: 0 errors; 1 warning that authenticated redirect checking was skipped.
make docs-fern: SDK-reference generation blocked because the Docker daemon is unavailable.
Live verification attempted with both replacement models, but the available OpenAI credential returned HTTP 401. No live success or answer-quality claim is made.
Manual diff review against the develop merge base: no runtime/parser, dependency, authentication, or secret-handling changes.

identifying it as interim and noting that migration is needed before January 14,
2027; leave the selected model unchanged.
Walkthrough
The pull request updates OpenAI model IDs in documentation, notebooks, shipped configurations, and code examples. It also revises one code comment to describe an output-format capability instead of naming a model. No runtime logic or public declarations change.
Changes: OpenAI model ID updates
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Documentation examples and instructions README.md, docs/configure-rails/*, docs/deployment/*, docs/evaluation/*, docs/integration/*, docs/run-rails/*
Examples and instructions use gpt-4o or gpt-4o-mini instead of older model IDs.
Shipped example configurations examples/bots/*, examples/configs/*, examples/eval/*, examples/notebooks/*, examples/scripts/*, examples/server_configs/*, examples/v2_x/*
OpenAI model IDs in configurations, notebooks, and scripts are updated. The streaming example’s model note also changes.
Evaluation and code examples nemoguardrails/eval/ui/README.md, nemoguardrails/evaluate/data/topical/*, nemoguardrails/rails/llm/config.py, nemoguardrails/tracing/spans.py
Evaluation examples and model descriptions use updated IDs. One multi-step generation comment now describes a required output-format capability instead of naming a model.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 38b4b
This change swaps retired OpenAI model IDs for current ones in examples and docs, and it is safe to merge. Two documentation follow-ups remain. The replacement models are scheduled for shutdown on January 14, 2027, so a later migration is needed. One Colang 2 docs page still lists models OpenAI has already shut down.
