Gemini 3 Pro Preview will be discontinued on Mar 26, 2026.

MY CONSOLE

Hello Motty,

We’re writing to inform you that Gemini 3 Pro Preview will be discontinued on March 26, 2026.

To avoid service interruptions, please migrate your workloads to Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, Gemini 3 Flash Preview, and Gemini 2.5 Pro General Availability (GA). Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview will be priced the same as Gemini 3 Pro Preview.

We’ve provided additional details below to help you understand these changes and take any necessary actions.

What you need to know

Key changes:

Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview endpoint availability: Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview (gemini-3.1-pro-preview) is now available via Vertex AI. Pricing is unchanged from 3 Pro Preview.
Gemini 3 Pro Preview endpoint removal: Gemini 3 Pro Preview (gemini-3-pro-preview) will be discontinued starting March 26, 2026.
Provisioned Throughput (PT): PT for Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview will be available.

If you’ve purchased PT for a specific preview version (e.g. Gemini 3 Pro Preview), it will still map to the same preview version (Gemini 3 Pro Preview). It will not automatically roll over to a new endpoint.
However, you must migrate the existing PT to an available endpoint or purchase new PT by March 26, 2026. Failure to update to a new model prior to the retirement of the preview model will result in continuing to be charged PT for a model that is not available.
Preview offerings are not necessarily feature-complete and do not have SLAs for technical support commitments. Learn more about Preview offerings in the Product launch stages page.

What you need to do

Action required:

To prevent service interruptions, update your application endpoints to one of the following models before March 26, 2026:

Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview
Gemini 3 Flash Preview
Gemini 2.5 Pro GA

Transitioning now ensures you maintain full access to Gemini’s latest capabilities without a gap in service.

We also recommend that you:

Review pricing for Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview: There are no changes for 3.1 Pro Preview from Gemini 3 Pro Preview. Review all pricing details here.
Update Provisioned Throughput: If you’ve purchased PT for Preview versions, update your PT assignment to a new model endpoint before March 26, 2026.

Timelines:

February 19, 2026: Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview is available
March 26, 2026: Gemini 3 Pro Preview endpoints will be discontinued
