Request: gemini-3.5-flash-lite on a Taiwan (asia-east1) regional endpoint

Gemini API

Hi team,

We’re building a consumer app used mainly in Taiwan. We use gemini-3.5-flash-lite
for short text processing where latency matters (users wait for the result).

Per the model’s location page, gemini-3.5-flash-lite is currently available on
the global endpoint, US/EU multi-regions, and asia-south1 only. There is no
Taiwan (asia-east1) or East Asia option, even though Google Cloud has a region
in Taiwan.

Could you consider offering gemini-3.5-flash-lite (and ideally the newer Flash
models) on asia-east1, or advise on the best way to get low-latency access from
East Asia?

Thanks!
