Stopped working
Calls to the model embedding-2-preview on Gemini API stopped working on August 10, 2026.
What to use instead of embedding-2-preview
Move to gemini-embedding-2, recommended by Google.
Embeddings from another model are not comparable with this one's: vectors the code stores must all be computed again with the new model.
