Gemini API Release notes from Google Cloud
27 releases · 0 this month
Gemini API CLI (gemini-api) beta
The Gemini API CLI is now in beta, providing a stateless, zero-dependency command-line client for interacting with Gemini models, analyzing files, and running managed agents.
Generate Content API storage on by default
New projects using the Gemini Generate Content API on the paid tier now store requests by default to match the Interactions API.
Gemini 4 Argon (gemini-4-argon) generally available (GA)
Released Gemini 4 Argon (gemini-4-argon), our most capable model built for complex coding, agentic, math, and science tasks. For API changes, pricing, and migration guidance, see What's new in Gemini 4 Argon.
Gemini 3.5 Flash deprecation
gemini-3.5-flash is deprecated and has been replaced by gemini-3.6-flash. All requests to gemini-3.5-flash are automatically routed to gemini-3.6-flash. Update your model string to gemini-3.6-flash (or gemini-3.8-flash) and review the Gemini 3.6 Flash guide.
Gemini Nano Banana 2.1 generally available (GA)
Released Gemini Nano Banana 2.1 (gemini-nano-banana-2.1), the latest high-efficiency image generation and conversational editing model. An update to Nano Banana 2 (gemini-3.1-flash-image), it maintains Flash-level speed and cost efficiency while delivering significant improvements in visual quality, prompt adherence, multi-turn character consistency, text...
Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS generally available (GA) : Released our next-generation
Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS generally available (GA) : Released our next-generation text-to-speech (TTS) audio models and the Gemini API Voices endpoint (/v1beta/voices): Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS (gemini-3.8-flash-tts): Flagship creative TTS model engineered for studio-grade voice fidelity, nuanced acting, regional dialects, and long-form...
Gemini 2.5 models access update
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.
Antigravity Agent 09-2026
Released antigravity-preview-09-2026, which replaces and deprecates antigravity-preview-05-2026. If you run on a remote sandbox (environment: "remote") and read only output_text or model_output steps, update the agent string and nothing else changes. If you run tools locally (local_environment) or parse function_call steps, the built-in tools changed.
Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking are generally available
Two new audio-to-audio Live API models target real-time voice apps: gemini-3.8-live for low-latency dialogue with asynchronous function calling, and gemini-3.8-live-extended-thinking for high-reasoning voice use cases.
Lyria 3.5 generally available (GA)
Released the next generation of Google's music generation model: lyria-3.5: Full-length song generation with improved musical coherence, natural vocals, and fine-grained duration and structural control. The model supports text and image inputs and generates high-fidelity 44.1 kHz stereo audio. See the Music generation guide for details and code samples.
Gemini 3.8 Flash generally available (GA)
Released gemini-3.8-flash, our most intelligent Flash model, engineered for long-horizon software engineering, autonomous agents, and complex enterprise workflows. To get started, see the Gemini 3.8 Flash model page and the Latest model guide.
Agentic video understanding
Released agentic video understanding for Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite across the Interactions and GenerateContent APIs. The model dynamically navigates video timelines, requesting transcripts, frames, or audio tracks on demand. This approach uses up to 88% fewer tokens for long-form content compared to static processing.
Gemini Omni Flash generally available (GA)
Released gemini-omni-1.1-flash, the GA version of our fast, conversational video generation and editing model. This release includes significant new capabilities: Video extension : Seamlessly extend existing videos by generating continuations at the end of a clip using the extend task or directly with a prompt.
Gemini 3.5 Transcribe generally available (GA)
Released two dedicated speech-to-text models based on Gemini's audio understanding: Gemini 3.5 Transcribe (gemini-3.5-transcribe): High-accuracy, low-latency non-streaming speech-to-text with utterance-based language detection across 85+ languages, speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, and custom vocabulary biasing (up to 1,000 terms).
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.
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 API developer logs now cover the Interactions API
Logs for supported Interactions API calls are now viewable in the AI Studio dashboard, making agent interactions easier to debug.
Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image (Nano Banana 2 Lite) is generally available
gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image is a multimodal model optimized for ultra-low latency, cost-effective image generation and editing, now GA in the Gemini API.
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.
