Help! If Gemini 2.0 is going to be discontinued in 2026, then how should I proceed?

According to the Gemini API discontinuation list, the 2.0-flash model will be discontinued at the beginning of February 2026. The question is: will another free-tier API replace this model?

I do free tests using this model, and the discontinuation will affect me as well as many other users.

Hi @Linick_Britto
Thanks for the feedback .For now the suggested replacement is to transition to gemini-2.5-flash model.

I was wondering if tuned model based on 2.0-flash will also be discontinued. Could use some help here :smiling_face_with_tear:

Hi,

Yes, all 2.0 flash models will be deprecated by February-2026.

Please consider using the latest models.

Thank you!
