I am developing a tool for which I need to fine tune a Gemini model through VertexAI. I have been doing some tests with Gemini 2.0 Flash since it seems to be the best working model for me. However, when I now check my tuned model in VertexAI it says that it is going to expire on the 5th of February 2026 which is the discontinuation date for the base model.
Will tuned model stop working then? Do I have to necessarily have to update the base model? If I do so and tune that one, will I have to repeat the process once it is discontinued and hence pay for all the tuning again?
Thanks in advance!
