Vertex AI: Image Generation Endpoints Deprecated - Migration Required
Action Required
Failure to migrate image generation workflows before the June 30, 2026 deadline will result in service disruption and require developers to rebuild their applications.
AI Impact Summary
Google Cloud announced several pricing changes and updates to Vertex AI, including the availability of Spot VMs and reservations for Compute Engine resources. The key change is the deprecation of several image generation endpoints, requiring users to migrate to newer models like gemini-2.5-flash-image before June 30, 2026. This impacts developers relying on the deprecated endpoints, necessitating a migration plan to avoid service disruption.
