All tiers — Sonar API status
Support ended; compatibility migration
Sonar Chat Completions support ended September 27, 2026. Synchronous and streaming requests continue through a gradual by-model reformulation as Agent API requests. Asynchronous Sonar requests are no longer supported; migrate that work to background mode. This is a documentation review, not an inference test.
Last verified: 2026-11-02T10:45:45.183434+00:00. Evidence tier: documented. Surface: API.
Last source review: 2026-11-02T10:45:45.183434+00:00. The API-wide notice has no tier restriction and confirms the exact end date, gradual by-model synchronous/streaming compatibility, and asynchronous migration requirement. No quota or test result is asserted.
Reset rule: n/a. Reset type: none.
When reached: n/a.
