Are API calls to 1206 being redirected to the new 0205 model?

When I’m testing prompts with temperature=0 I get identical responses from 0205 and the 1206 model (setting model=“gemini-exp-1206”).

Is the 1206 gone? Can we get a clear clarification?

Hi @Amit_Tzah
Yes — API calls made to gemini-exp-1206 are now being routed to the newer 0205 model despite the old endpoint still appearing in docs. So 1206 isn’t truly available anymore; using it defaults to 0205.
Thanks!
