Stopped working
Calls to the model gemini-pro on Gemini API stopped working on October 16, 2026.
What to use instead of gemini-pro
gemini-2.5-pro, named first, is closed to some callers (Google: "we are limiting access to the 2.5 models to users who have actively used them in the past." Projects that already called it keep it; new projects are told to use 3.5 Flash-Lite or 3.8 Flash.). No replacement that holds is named yet. Nothing about a 1.0-era integration survives unchanged: the SDK, the request shape and the safety-setting enums have all been replaced since.
