# Announcing Major Command Deprecations

> This announcement covers a series of major deprecations, including of classic Command models, several parameters, and entire endpoints.

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering advanced AI solutions, we are deprecating the following models, features, and API endpoints:

Deprecated Models:

* `command-r-03-2024`  (and the alias `command-r`)
* `command-r-plus-04-2024`  (and the alias `command-r-plus`)
* `command-light`
* `command`
* `summarize` (Refer to [the migration guide](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/summarizing-text#migration-from-summarize-to-chat-endpoint) for alternatives).

For command model replacements, we recommend you use `command-r-08-2024`, `command-r-plus-08-2024`, or `command-a-03-2025` (which is the strongest-performing model across domains) instead.

Retired Fine-Tuning Capabilities:
All fine-tuning options via dashboard and API for models including `command-light`, `command`, `command-r`, `classify`, and `rerank` are being retired. Previously fine-tuned models will no longer be accessible.

Deprecated Features and API Endpoints:

* `/v1/connectors` (Managed connectors for RAG)
* `/v1/chat` parameters: `connectors`, `search_queries_only`
* `/v1/generate` (Legacy generative endpoint)
* `/v1/summarize` (Legacy summarization endpoint)
* `/v1/classify`
* Slack App integration
* Coral Web UI (chat.cohere.com and coral.cohere.com)
