gemini-1.5-pro
Gemini 1.5 Pro (Google)
Yes — Gemini 1.5 Pro is retired. Google shut it down on June 17, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Gemini 2.5 Pro.
The model that made a million-token context window a mainstream expectation, and for a year the reason teams chose Gemini at all. Google no longer lists it on its deprecations page — rows are removed once a model is long gone — so the shutdown date here comes from the community llm-model-deprecation registry rather than a Google page, and should be treated as less firm than the rest of this site.

What to use instead
The 2.5 generation thinks before answering by default, which changes both latency and token cost. Budget with thinkingConfig rather than assuming 1.5-era numbers carry over.
