What you get
OpenAI's deprecations page says existing evals on the Evals platform became read-only on October 31, 2026. The Evals dashboard and API shut down on November 30, 2026. Graders documented for eval workflows are part of the same change. OpenAI first told Evals users about this on June 3, 2026.
OpenAI's suggested path is its cookbook guide "Moving from OpenAI Evals to Promptfoo". The same page also lists Agent Builder as shutting down on November 30, 2026, with the Agents SDK or ChatGPT Workspace Agents as the way forward.
Prerequisites
Steps
- Find any code or scheduled job that calls the Evals API, and any eval you still open in the dashboard.
- Export or copy what you need from your evals before November 30, 2026. They can be read but no longer changed.
- Follow OpenAI's guide "Moving from OpenAI Evals to Promptfoo" to rebuild your test cases there.
- Remove Evals API calls from your code before November 30, 2026.
Test it
Run your new evaluation setup on one test case you also had in OpenAI Evals and check you get a comparable result.
Not confirmed
- The deprecations page does not list which Evals API endpoints stop or what error they return after November 30.
- Whether data from read-only evals can be downloaded after the shutdown is not stated.
