- Who it helps
- Developers maintaining integrations with Gemini preview endpoints.
- Availability
- The public deprecation table lists selected Veo 3.1 preview and Gemini Omni Flash preview endpoints for October 22, and deep-research-pro-preview-12-2025 for October 23.
How it works
A retirement applies to a named model ID, which can differ from the family name shown in an app. Read the matching replacement and date from the table before changing configuration.
Make a model-ID migration checklist
Inventory the exact model IDs in your configuration. For each affected entry, keep a representative input, compare the replacement’s output and cost, then record the migration result before switching production traffic.

Where the evidence stops

- · Story updated
Several Gemini preview endpoints have October retirement dates. Applications using a preview model ID need to check the exact table entry and test their replacement before the stated shutdown.
- · Added to Current
Google’s October 12 table lists October 22 shutdowns for the named Veo 3.1 preview variants and gemini-omni-flash-preview, and October 23 for deep-research-pro-preview-12-2025. Developers using those exact API IDs need to check the recommended successors before those dates. This does not mean all Veo or Gemini products are ending. Documentation checked October 16; replacement calls and output compatibility were not tested.
