Google Compresses Gemini API Deprecation Deadlines: Image Preview June 25, Video Gen June 30

Google (Gemini API) / BuildFastWithAI·low signal

Google issued June 16–17 notices shutting down multiple Gemini API model versions on compressed timelines — image preview models retire June 25 and video generation models June 30, 2026. The short migration windows are an actionable risk for anyone with Gemini image/video endpoints in production. Pin model versions and migrate now to avoid breakage; the pattern of fast-moving deprecations continues to make hard version pinning a baseline practice for agent and API builders.
