> [!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. Our most cost-efficient multimodal model, offering the fastest performance for high-frequency, lightweight tasks. Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is best for high-volume classification, simple data extraction, and extremely low-latency applications where budget and speed are the primary constraints.
