Using a particular version of OCR Model

Question

Hello dear engineers,

I have a quick question. I want to understand if an enterprise can keep using a particular OCR model for good without the model update at all. We are building a OCR solution and want this solution to be stable forever without being effected through new model updates. My question is if an enterprise wants to use a certain OCR model for good, is it possible or not?

Thank you for your response in advance.

Kind regards,
Serdar

@Bozoglan, Serdar With respect to Azure computer vision, you can use the stable GA version of the API and continue to use the same version of the API for a long time until a retirement is announced. Usually, whenever retirement is announced the user has enough time to move to the next version of the API or the API version will continue to be available with no active support after retirement date. For Azure computer vision you can start with GA version 3.2

The containers also provide you an option to use the API on your premises with an option to connect to azure for billing purposes and disconnected containers with no connection to internet, but the pricing tier of the resource needs to be a commitment tier for disconnected containers.
