AOAI-models-migration

Generate a phased migration execution plan for Azure OpenAI model transitions. Covers assessment, testing, pilot, gradual rollout, validation, and cleanup phases with checklists, gate criteria, risk registers, and rollback strategies. USE FOR: migration plan, project plan, rollout plan, migration timeline, migration checklist, phased migration, canary deployment, rollback strategy, migration risk, cutover plan, migration steps, migration template. DO NOT USE FOR: choosing a target model (use aoai-model-lifecycle), code-level API changes (use aoai-model-migration), evaluation setup (use aoai-migration-evaluation).

Evaluate and validate Azure OpenAI model migrations using A/B comparison, LLM-as-Judge, local SDK evaluation, and Azure AI Foundry cloud evaluation. Covers RAG, tool calling, translation, and classification scenarios. USE FOR: evaluate model, compare models, A/B test, LLM judge, migration evaluation, golden dataset, test cases, azure-ai-evaluation, azure-ai-projects, Foundry eval, cloud evaluation, quality metrics, coherence, relevance, groundedness, regression test, before deploying new model, validate migration, eval pipeline, continuous evaluation. DO NOT USE FOR: code-level API migration (use aoai-model-migration), retirement dates or lifecycle planning (use aoai-model-lifecycle).

Plan and manage the Azure OpenAI model upgrade lifecycle. Covers retirement timelines, deployment inventory, update policies, operational checklists, and mid-to-long term migration planning. USE FOR: retirement date, model lifecycle, deprecation, model retirement, when does model retire, deployment inventory, update policy, auto-upgrade, migration planning, model governance, notification setup, Azure Service Health, fine-tuned model retirement, embedding model retirement, model-router. DO NOT USE FOR: code-level API migration (use aoai-model-migration), evaluation or A/B testing (use aoai-migration-evaluation).

Migrate Azure OpenAI applications from GPT-4o/GPT-4o-mini to newer models (GPT-4.1, GPT-5, GPT-5.1 through GPT-5.4, o-series). Covers API changes, client configuration, parameter adaptation, prompt adjustments, and authentication. USE FOR: migrate model, switch model, upgrade model, GPT-4o replacement, AzureOpenAI to OpenAI client, v1 API, max_completion_tokens, reasoning_effort, developer role, system role, parameter adaptation, client factory, model classification. DO NOT USE FOR: retirement dates or lifecycle planning (use aoai-model-lifecycle), evaluation or A/B testing (use aoai-migration-evaluation).
