# Serverless models

> Explore the models currently available for serverless inference, ready to deploy instantly for chat, vision, embeddings and image generation.

<Warning>
  **Upcoming model retirements**

  We're upgrading our serverless inference service with newer, more capable models from 26 October 2026. To keep your application running smoothly, switch to an alternative model by 2 November 2026. [See the affected models](#upcoming-model-retirements).
</Warning>

Our model list is available in the Nscale Console under **AI Services → Models**, or on [our website <Icon icon="arrow-up-right" size={11} />](https://www.nscale.com/product/serverless).

You can also programmatically access model information including pricing and context length through the [/v1/models API endpoint](/api-reference/models/list-models).

<Tip>
  Try out some of the examples from the Use Cases documentation:
