Summary
The gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview model is currently available only
on AI Studio (generativelanguage.googleapis.com — global routing).
There is no Vertex AI version, regardless of region.
For production use we need it on Vertex AI in an EU region
(europe-west4 / europe-west1 / europe-north1) — GDPR requires that
inference for EU end-users stays within the EU. Vertex AI is the only
Gemini surface that offers regional endpoints with a data residency
guarantee; AI Studio’s global routing does not satisfy this.
Question
Is gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview (or any 3.1 Live variant — text-
or native-audio-based) on the Vertex AI roadmap? If yes, what is the
expected timeline and which EU regions will be supported?
