<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>I received an email from Google:</p>
<p>On October 30, 2025, the following embedding models will be discontinued and will start returning errors:</p>
<ul>
<li>embedding-001</li>
<li>Embedding-gecko-001</li>
<li>gemini-embedding-exp</li>
<li>gemini-embedding-exp-03-07</li>
</ul>
<p>This change affects all current projects and applets that use these models.</p>
<p>We understand this change may require some planning and have provided additional information below to help you with the transition.</p>
<p><strong>What you need to know</strong></p>
<p>We are discontinuing the support for these outdated experimental models to make way for the newer <code>gemini-embedding-001</code> model.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of this change:</strong><br>
The new model is now a stable, generally available release. It outperforms its predecessors in performance and has higher rate limits.</p>
<p><strong>What you need to do</strong></p>
<p><strong>Action required:</strong><br>
You must switch to <code>gemini-embedding-001</code>, our new generally available and stable text embedding model. Transition as soon as possible and no later than October 30, 2025.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>When selecting the embedding engine only <code>embedding-001</code> & <code>text-embedding-004</code> are available for selection</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Remove <code>embedding-001</code> model and add <code>gemini-embedding-001</code> model</p>
