It looks like the gemini-2.5-flash model is scheduled to be deprecated in June 2026. How might this affect the pricing of the other models?
I rely heavily on 2.5-flash because it performs very well and offers excellent pricing. Any insights would be appreciated.
Hi @sakoz , Welcome to forum!!!
Thanks for reaching out to us. Currently, there is no indication that the planned deprecation of the Gemini 2.5 Flash model in June 2026 will affect the pricing of other models. We recommend continuing to monitor on official announcements and updates for any future changes.
Thank you @Nireeksha_K_A for your reply. However, as a developer of a service that relies on Flash 2.5, I need to know the future of the Gemini pricing strategy. Flash 3.0 is pricier than 2.5. When 2.5 is deprecated, it means my costs to operate the service will have to go up? Will there be any alternative? If you could provide any REAL-WORLD idea about what is about to happen to services that rely on this, that would be great.
