Dear Google AI Team,

I recently received an email stating that the “Gemini 1.5 Flash 001 tuning” model will be discontinued on May 27th. I have been actively fine-tuning and using this model for my projects, and this announcement raises some concerns about the future of my work.

I would like to inquire about the following:

  1. Will there be a new fine-tunable model to replace “Gemini 1.5 Flash 001 Tuning” after its discontinuation?

  2. If not, what alternative solutions does Google recommend for fine-tuning custom AI models within the Gemini ecosystem?

  3. Are there any upcoming announcements or updates regarding fine-tuning capabilities on Gemini models in general?

  4. If fine-tuning will no longer be supported, are there alternative methods (e.g., prompt engineering, adapters, or other customization techniques) that can achieve similar results?

I appreciate any guidance you can provide regarding this transition and the best way forward for developers like me who rely on fine-tuning. Looking forward to your insights.

thank you.
