1<br />23This page lists the known deprecation schedules for [stable (GA)](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models#stable) and [preview](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models#preview)4models and for managed agents in the Gemini API. A "**deprecation** " is the5announcement that we no longer provide support for a model, and that it will be6"**shut down** " in the near future. Once a model is "**shutdown**", it is7completely turned off, and the endpoint is no longer available.89Deprecation announcements are made on the10[Release notes](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog) page, and the announced earliest11shutdown dates are tracked on this page.12Already-shutdown models are indicated with gray backgrounds.1314> [!NOTE]15> **Note:** The **shutdown dates listed in the table indicate the *earliest possible16> dates* on which a model might be retired**. We will communicate the exact shutdown date to users with advance notice to ensure a smooth transition to a replacement model.1718## Gemini 3 models1920| **Model** | **Release date** | **Shutdown
