Computer Use: Launched public preview support for the Computer Use tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash. This release includes simplified actions with intents, built-in support for browser, mobile, and desktop environments, configurable safety policies, and advanced prompt injection detection.
Streaming support for speech generation: Streaming via streamGenerateContent (and stream: true in the Interactions API) is now supported for the gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview model. To learn more, see the Text-to-Speech guide.
Deprecation announcement: The following image generation models are being deprecated and will be shut down on August 17, 2026: Imagen 4 and Gemini 3 Image models: imagen-4.0-generate-001 imagen-4.0-ultra-generate-001 imagen-4.0-fast-generate-001 To migrate your code to newer stable or preview endpoints, refer to the Gemini deprecations page. Deprecation announcement: The following video generation models are being deprecated and will be shut down on June 30, 2026: Veo models: veo-2.0-generate-001 veo-3.0-generate-001 veo-3.0-fast-generate-001 Update your integration to either use the Veo 3.1 preview model IDs (veo-3.1-generate-preview, veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview) or the 3.1 GA models available through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform to avoid service interruptions. Deprecation announcement: The experimental GMP Contextual View tool (a fixed interface for Grounding with Google Maps outputs) will shut down on June 15, 2026:
The following Gemini 2.0 models are now shut down: gemini-2.0-flash gemini-2.0-flash-001 gemini-2.0-flash-lite gemini-2.0-flash-lite-001 Use gemini-3.5-flash or gemini-3.1-flash-lite instead.
Released gemini-3.1-flash-image (Nano Banana 2) and gemini-3-pro-image (Nano Banana Pro), the generally available (GA) versions of our native visual models, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image and Gemini 3 Pro Image. Video-to-image generation support: You can now pass a video file (via direct upload or as a public YouTube URL) as multimodal context alongside a text prompt to generate high-quality thumbnails, cinematic movie posters, or summary infographics. This feature is supported exclusively on the gemini-3.1-flash-image model. To learn more, see the Video-to-image generation guide. Deprecation announcement: The gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview and gemini-3-pro-image-preview models are deprecated and will be shut down on June 25, 2026.
Released gemini-3.5-flash, the generally available (GA) version of Gemini 3.5 Flash, our most intelligent model for sustained frontier performance on agentic and coding tasks. This is now the model behind gemini-flash-latest. Launched the Managed Agents in the Gemini API in public preview. This enables developers to build and deploy autonomous, stateful agents that run in secure, isolated Google-hosted Linux sandbox environments. To learn more, see the Agents overview page and the Quickstart. Released the general-purpose Antigravity Agent managed agent, antigravity-preview-05-2026, in public preview. The Antigravity agent can autonomously plan, reason, write and execute code, manage files, and browse the web inside its sandbox container. See the Antigravity Agent guide for code samples and specifications.
Released gemini-3.1-flash-lite, the generally available (GA) version of Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, optimized for speed, scale, and cost efficiency. Deprecation announcement: The gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview model is deprecating on 5/11/26 and will be shut down on May 25, 2026.
Upcoming breaking change: The Interactions API request and response schema (outputs → steps) and output format configuration (response_format) are changing. The new schema becomes the default on May 26 and the legacy schema will be removed on June 8. See the migration guide for details.
Updated File Search to support multimodal search. You can now natively embed and search through images using the gemini-embedding-2 model. Grounding metadata now includes media_id for visual citations and page_numbers that indicate where information is found. To learn more, see the File Search guide.
