It's a graveyard of LLMs 🥹 (so I've included the fossil 🦴 record in my app)

So many ch-ch-ch-ch-changes in models recently, and we just witnessed the first big extinction event in the history of AI since the release of ChatGPT in 2022.

Every platform deprecates their models for different reasons and at different times, but January/February 2026 was tectonic. In order to track these extinction events and the overall evolution of the space, I recently updated The Great AI Explosion app to help keep everyone (who cares!) in the loop.

I'll be improving this app over time so it can be a true resource, and I would be more than open to hearing what features you would appreciate seeing in an app like this.

DM me or provide feedback right here in the thread (if that's OK with Ryan!).
