Gemini 2.5 Computer Use

Specialist UI-automation model that emitted browser/computer actions from a screenshot - not a general chat model; preview-only for its whole life. CONFIRMED RETIRED 2026-10-02 on the only signal this catalog accepts for a Google shutdown: Google's deprecations table now carries a row for gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025 - release date October 7, 2025, shutdown date July 28, 2026, recommended replacement gemini-3.8-flash - and that row is grey (a literal class="row-gray" on the <tr>; the page's legend reads "Already-shutdown models are indicated with gray backgrounds"). check-lifecycle-drift.mjs read the marker and reported Google stating shut-down against our preview. The row did not exist on the 2026-09-29 read, and the model had appeared nowhere in the table on 2026-08-05 or since, so Google published the lifecycle data and the shutdown marker together between 2026-09-29 and 2026-10-02; in the same edit the pricing page dropped its Computer Use section and its Computer Use tool note now reads 'standard Gemini 3.8 Flash pricing' where it used to point at this model's table. released, retires_on and replacement were null until 2026-10-02 because Google published nothing; they now carry the table's values, and deprecated_on stays null because the table has no such column. Last published rates, kept for the record: input image+text, output text; 128,000 input / 64,000 output tokens; priced on the same two-tier scale as gemini-2.5-pro, $1.25/M in and $10.00/M out at <=200K prompt tokens, rising to $2.50/M and $15.00/M above it - the base tier is stored here, matching the gemini-2-5-pro row's convention. Cached-input rate was never published. Google's model page had noted that Gemini 3 Pro and Flash have built-in computer use without a separate model.
