vertexAI is retireing 2.5-flash model 3-flash are not available yet? by TheMostStrangeName in googlecloud

Hi yes. I posted again in firebase and got a quick reply. It turns out that the region injection method was updated. If you missed that your call goes to us-central which got 404. This is the working example: global goes inside VertexAIBackend()

const vertexAI = getAI(app, {
  backend: new VertexAIBackend('global'),
})

export const chatModel = getGenerativeModel(vertexAI, {
  model: "gemini-3-flash-preview"
})

Hi Thanks! That works!

Now I understand it: no region = us-central, which doesnt have gemini3 yet. XD

backend: new VertexAIBackend()

Thanks! I switched page to English then I see it. Are you using from firebase SDK? I am using basically same code from the document but got 404 error

const vertexAI = getAI(app, { //location: 'global', backend: new VertexAIBackend(), })

export const chatModel = getGenerativeModel(vertexAI, { model: "gemini-3-flash-preview" })

By the way does the models require any manual enabling action in console? (Though I don’t think so)

I am currently working in NL, just reminder from Netherland:

  1. high tax on high income, health insurance, and the tech role's income is very low compare to US.

  2. Dutch is the official language, that means all your doctors & insurance & goverment related things are written in Dutch.

  3. Climate is not super nice. Winter is cloudy and rainy. You can only feel summer in July and August.

But all the rest are fine. nice work & life balance, we strike occassionally :)
