gemini-2.5-flash given 26 days
Google sets retirement for December 1, 2026
Named in eleven of the sixty most-starred AI repos on GitHub. That is a lot of code about to learn the news.
gemini-2.5-flash, a Google model that answered questions, wrote emails and was blamed for both, has been given a date: December 1, 2026. That is 26 days from this edition. Until then it will keep answering, as if nothing happened.
Its work passes to gemini-3.5-flash-lite (requests auto-route to it from Dec 1, 2026), which the family describes as 'recommended'.
