The Interactions API is now generally available. We recommend using this API for access to all the latest features and models.

Release notes

This page documents updates to the Gemini API.

August 13, 2026

Gemini 3.7 Flash generally available (GA): Released our most intelligent workhorse model yet for coding and agents:
- Gemini 3.7 Flash (gemini-3.7-flash): Substantial improvements across software engineering, web development, and agentic workflows, available at an introductory price through December 31, 2026.
To get started, see the Gemini 3.7 Flash model page and the Latest model guide.

Gemini Robotics ER 2 in public preview: Released two new embodied reasoning model endpoints for robotics:
- gemini-robotics-er-2-preview: Advanced spatial reasoning, agentic code execution, multi-step tool orchestration, video moment finding, progress classification, and multi-robot coordination.
- gemini-robotics-er-2-streaming-preview: Optimized for real-time text streaming using the Live API, enabling low-latency robot agents with bidirectional audio and video input.
Both model endpoints accept text, image, video, and audio inputs and support function calling with blocking behavior for physical robot actions. To get started, see the Gemini Robotics ER overview. For real-time streaming use cases, see Robotics with streaming.
Deprecation announcement: The gemini-robotics-er-1.6-preview model will be shut down on August 31, 2026.

Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite generally available (GA): Released stable, production-ready versions of our latest 3.x Flash models:
- Gemini 3.6 Flash (gemini-3.6-flash): Features improved token efficiency and code/agentic planning capabilities at a lower price point than 3.5 Flash, resolving developer feedback around output verbosity.
- Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite (gemini-3.5-flash-lite): Offers a low-latency, highly cost-effective subagent option designed for high-volume automation.
To learn more, see the Latest Gemini model guide.
Deprecated parameters: The sampling parameters temperature, top_p and top_k are now deprecated. See the Latest Gemini Model for details.

Developer logs support for the Interactions API: logs for supported Interactions API calls are now viewable in the AI Studio dashboard.

Gemini Omni Flash in public preview: Released gemini-omni-flash-preview, a high-performance multimodal model designed for high-speed video generation and conversational video editing. Using the Interactions API, you can generate 3–10 second videos at 720p from text descriptions or animate still images, and then conversationally edit and refine the outputs. To get started, see the Gemini Omni Flash guide and the Gemini Omni Flash model card.
Released gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image (Nano Banana 2 Lite) to general availability (GA), our built-in multimodal model optimized for ultra-low latency and cost-effective image generation and editing. See the Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image model card and the Image generation guide.

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:

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
