Isn’t the gemini-1.5-flash-8b model avalable in VertexAI? Just can submit quota requests but the actual model endpoint isn’t avalable?

Hi @stnor , Welcome to the forum!!
You are Correct. it’s currently only available via Google AI Studio / Gemini API.
Thanks.

Yeah I switched to the Gemini API. It was impossible to deal with the quota department on Vertex AI without a salesrep…

Hi @Govind_Keshari I’m very interested in using gemini-1.5-flash-8b-001 in Vertex AI. Do you have an estimated timeframe for its release? Even a rough estimate (e.g., “coming months,” “Q1 2025”) would be helpful.
Hi @zeev ,
Can’t commit any timeline. I raised it with internal team. Discussions going on but not sure about it.
