This page lists the known deprecation schedules for [stable (GA)](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models#stable) and [preview](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models#preview)
models and for managed agents in the Gemini API. A "**deprecation** " is the
announcement that we no longer provide support for a model, and that it will be
"**shut down** " in the near future. Once a model is "**shutdown**", it is
completely turned off, and the endpoint is no longer available.

Deprecation announcements are made on the
[Release notes](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog) page, and the announced earliest
shutdown dates are tracked on this page.
Already-shutdown models are indicated with gray backgrounds.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The **shutdown dates listed in the table indicate the *earliest possible
> dates* on which a model might be retired**. We will communicate the exact shutdown date to users with advance notice to ensure a smooth transition to a replacement model.

## Gemini 2.5 Pro models

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** To ensure reliable performance for everyone, we are limiting access to the 2.5 models to users who have actively used them in the past. These models are not deprecated and will continue to be served until further notice through the API. For any new projects, use our latest models: 3.5 Flash-Lite or 3.8 Flash. This helps us maintain sufficient capacity for both ongoing legacy workflows and new applications.
