Is gemini-embedding-001 the GA version of gemini-embedding-exp-03-07?

I see on vertex AI there is gemini-embedding-001 released May 20th 2025: Google Cloud console

Is this the GA version of exp-03-07? I would assume so given that I no longer see that version on Vertex AI, though I can still see it on Gemini API. If it is the GA version why does it say here https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/embeddings/get-text-embeddings that it only supports 2048 tokens vs 8k in the exp-03-07 announcement? Is the max number of tokens correct here or is it actually larger?

I saw no blog post about the announcement of gemini-embedding-001 being released on May 20th did I miss it somewhere?

Hi @Ryan_Huddleston,

That’s a really good question.. I can spot some docs to partially answer your questions but I want to do a fact-check before posting my response.. I will find out and let you know soon..

Looks like announced here: Gemini Embedding now generally available in the Gemini API - Google Developers Blog but still really curios why the max tokens was changed from 8k to 2k in the GA?

Hi @Ryan_Huddleston,

Glad that you spotted the announcement and I got an answer to your question as well..

Yes, the experimental version is changed to GA version with some upgrades and exp model had an input token limit of 8k and the limit was changed to 2k when the model went GA.
