> [!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 best model in terms of price-performance, offering well-rounded capabilities. 2.5 Flash is best for large scale processing, low-latency, high volume tasks that require thinking, and agentic use cases.
