Developers Beg Google to Keep Gemini 2.5 Flash Alive

Don't discontinue Gemini 2.5 Flash

I am urging the Google team not to discontinue Gemini 2.5 Flash because our internal benchmarks show it outperforms newer models like Gemini 3 Flash in both speed and quality. For critical applications like voice agents in Australia, the low latency of 2.5 Flash is unmatched, and switching to alternatives would break our workflows. We need this specific model to remain available for much longer to support our essential use cases.

"Retiring 2.5 Flash will be such a massive loss. It's the only low latency model that is deployed in Australia."
