Azure AI Image Analysis 4.0 Preview API Retirement Summary

  • Retirement Date: March 31, 2025[1][5].
  • Scope: The following preview API versions will be retired:
  • 2022-07-31-preview
  • 2022-10-12-preview
  • 2023-02-01-preview
  • 2023-04-01-preview
  • 2023-07-01-preview
  • v4.0-preview.1[1].

Key Impacted Features:

  • Discontinued functionalities:
  • Model customization, background removal, and product recognition (removed from Azure AI Studio as of January 10, 2025)[1].
  • Product recognition preview API (explicitly cited for retirement in multiple sources)[2][4].
  • Migration Path: Transition to Image Analysis 4.0 GA API or Azure AI Custom Vision (GA) for model customization and object detection[1][2].

Recommendations:

  • Act Before March 31, 2025: API calls to preview versions will fail post-retirement[1][5].
  • Benefits of GA API: Features like multimodal embedding, synchronous OCR, people detection, smart cropping, and dense captions are available in the GA version[1].
  • Resource: Refer to the official retirement notice for timelines and migration guidance[5].

User Concerns:

  • Product Recognition Dependency: Users report significant rework required to migrate from Image Analysis 4.0’s COCO-based training to Custom Vision’s incompatible format[3].
  • Documentation Conflict: Initial guidance suggested migration to v4.0 from older APIs, but retirement announcements reversed this expectation[3].

Official Resolution:

  • Clarification: The retirement applies only to preview APIs, not the GA version[1].
  • Custom Vision: Positioned as the replacement for deprecated model customization and product recognition features[1][2].

Sources: Microsoft Learn[1][2], Azure Update[5].
