Test experimental Gemini models

This page gives you information about the model that's deployed to Gemini Experimental in Vertex AI Studio. Gemini Experimental lets you test out Google's experimental models. Experimental models don't follow Google's standard model lifecycle plan and versioning scheme and one model can be swapped for another without prior notice. We don't guarantee that an experimental model will become a stable model in the future.
