Hi,

I have just received a worrying email (see screenshot below), informing us that the ***Azure AI Image Analysis 4.0 API, including Product Recognition ***is to be retired in Jan 2025. Is this True?

Please can you confirm asap. We have built a production system based on the new 4.0 product recognition API, integrating with a bespoke training pipeline based on COCO files for training and labelling. This will be a huge problem for us to rework for the old Custom Vision service, as this does not use COCO files for training data?

Please can anyone confirm the plans and explain why? I cant find anything in the docs or blog posts relating to retiring this service.

I understood from ALL documentation that the old Azure Custom Vision was being REPLACED by v4.0 Vision APIs... why has this now been reversed??

Thanks
