Hi @Sahil_Alam , Welcome to the forum! Which Gemini pro model version you were earlier using?? 001 or 002 ??

Hi @Govind_Keshari , we are using 002 version of gemini pro model

Hey @Sahil_Alam , There is some issue with 002 version while doing audio transcription task, this is already escalated to the internal team. I recommend using 001 version as of now. If not using for production task, then keep on using experimental LearnLM model.

Thanks for the suggestion , it seems to be doing well with 001, is there a tracker where we can see the progress on this issue for the latest pro model.

Hey @Sahil_Alam , There is no tracker as such but you can follow the release notes for the updates here

Sure, thank you @Govind_Keshari for your help

Hi @Govind_Keshari , can you update if there’s still an issue with gemini pro 002 for audio transcription? If so, can you give more details about the issue?

Hey @Moe_K , Welcome to the forum !!! Whatever the issue was in previous model, our team tries to resolve in the upcoming model. So, you can try recently released “2.0-flash-exp”.
