Vertex AI is transitioning to become part of Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. See the most up-to-date information in the Agent Platform documentation.

Gemini 2.0 Flash

Gemini 2.0 Flash delivers next-generation features and improved capabilities designed for the agentic era, including superior speed, built-in tool use, multimodal generation, and a 1M token context window. Gemini 2.0 Flash improves upon our previous Flash model and offers enhanced quality at similar speeds.

2.0 Flash

Caution: As of March 6, 2026, gemini-2.0-flash-001 and gemini-2.0-flash-lite-001 are only available for existing customers. This includes both model serving and Provisioned Throughput. New projects should use gemini-2.5-flash, gemini-2.5-flash-lite, or more recent releases.
