gpt-35-turbo,Version:1106 Deprecated

Environment:
Local VS Code on Ubuntu 22.04

Steps to reproduce:

initialize locally:
azd init -t llama-index-python

ensure dependencies (docker, python3.11) installed

run azd up

ERROR: error executing step command 'provision': deployment failed: error deploying infrastructure: validating deployment to subscription:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESPONSE 400: 400 Bad Request
ERROR CODE: InvalidTemplateDeployment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidTemplateDeployment",

"details": [
{
"code": "ServiceModelDeprecated",
"message": "The model 'Format:OpenAI,Name:gpt-35-turbo,Version:1106' has been deprecated since 11/14/2025 00:00:00."
}
]
}
}

Any plans to update this template?

Start by inspecting the template initialized by `azd init -t llama-index-python` and identify where the Azure OpenAI model name and version are configured. Run `azd up` after updating the deprecated deployment reference, and consider the work done when provisioning completes without the `ServiceModelDeprecated` error.
