What you get
On November 6, 2026 Google deprecated gemini-embedding-2-preview. From that day, requests to it are routed to gemini-embedding-2 and billed at Gemini Embedding 2 rates.
Google says gemini-embedding-2 uses the same API schema, pricing and embedding space. In its words: "no other code changes or vector re-indexing are needed." Vectors you already stored with the preview model still match new ones.
The deprecations page lists November 6, 2026 as the shutdown date for the preview and gemini-embedding-2 as its replacement.
