GitLab Duo Deprecates Claude Sonnet 3.7: What You Need to Know

Deprecation Notice for Claude Sonnet 3.7 in GitLab Duo

GitLab has announced the deprecation of Claude Sonnet 3.7 from its GitLab Duo Chat functionality, effective 31 October 2024. This change comes as Anthropic, the developers of Claude, transition to newer models with superior capabilities. GitLab will automatically replace Claude 3.7 with the new Claude model seamlessly, ensuring continued service for users without disruption.

The updated Claude model delivers improved performance across code completion, natural language understanding, and conversation consistency. GitLab Duo users can expect smoother interactions and more intelligent support within their DevSecOps workflows.

If your workflow depends specifically on Claude 3.7 or if you’re managing AI integrations in a compliance-sensitive environment, we encourage validating the updated model’s impact on your processes to prevent disruptions. GitLab continues to refine and upgrade AI features to support developers, maintainers, and entire teams working collaboratively at scale.
