• Retirement date 2026-10-20 has passed, but the page (updated 2026-10-22) still lists it under 'Latest available models' and the model card says 'is being retired on October 20th, 2026'. Google says Vertex dates may be extended, never moved earlier. Verify with a live call before telling users it is dead on Vertex.
• Vertex-only: the same ID is NOT deprecated on the Gemini API.
