# Deprecations

> Deprecated Liquid Foundation Models and their recommended replacements. Deprecated models remain available for download but are no longer actively maintained or recommended for new projects.

<Note>
  Deprecated models remain available for download on Hugging Face, but they are no longer actively maintained and receive no further updates. We recommend migrating to the suggested replacement for new projects. Each replacement is a newer checkpoint that matches or improves on the deprecated model's quality at the same (or smaller) deployment footprint.
