# Google Gemini 1.0 Pro — deprecation status

> Yes — Gemini 1.0 Pro is retired and no longer served by Google, which has not published the exact shutdown date. The recommended replacement is Gemini 2.5 Pro.

The first Gemini available through an API, launched in December 2023 as Googles answer to GPT-4. It shipped before Google settled on the model naming and lifecycle conventions used since, and no shutdown date was ever published for it — the registry that tracks it records the model as superseded with no retirement date on file.
