Gemini 3.6 Flash Launches as Temperature and Top_P Parameters Are Deprecated

Gemini last models: temperature, top_p, and top_k are deprecated and ignored

I am excited to announce the general availability of Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, offering superior agentic performance and lower costs. These new models introduce critical API changes, specifically the deprecation of temperature, top_p, and top_k parameters, which are now ignored. Developers must migrate to the Interactions API and remove prefilled model turns to ensure their applications function correctly with these advanced capabilities.

"Starting with Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, the sampling parameters temperature, top_p, and top_k are deprecated and ignored, returning an error in future model generations."
