 ### Availability
 
-**For access to `o3-mini` and `o1` registration is required, and access will be granted based on Microsoft's eligibility criteria**. Customers who previously applied and received access to `o1-preview`, or `o1`  don't need to reapply as they are automatically on the wait-list for the latest models in the o-series.
-
-Request access: [limited access model application](https://aka.ms/OAI/o1access)
-
-Once access has been granted, you will need to create a deployment for each model.
