## Summary

Google says gemini-embedding-2-preview is deprecated, and as of November 6, 2026, API requests to it route to gemini-embedding-2 at Gemini Embedding 2 rates. Developers must update their model string to gemini-embedding-2. The stable model uses the same API schema, pricing, and embedding space, so no other code changes or vector re-indexing are needed.
