Gemini 2.0 Flash is now GA on Vertex AI

The faster, cheaper Flash tier graduates from preview. Production workloads can now pin to the GA endpoint with a 24-month deprecation guarantee.

Takeaway

If you have a preview-pinned workload, switch endpoints this sprint — preview gets a 90-day shut-off notice next quarter.
