2. Earlier ids on the same page are also shut down: veo-3.0-generate-preview and veo-3.0-fast-generate-preview (Nov 12, 2025), imagen-3.0-generate-002 (Nov 10, 2025), imagen-4.0-generate-preview-06-06 and imagen-4.0-ultra-generate-preview-06-06 (Feb 17, 2026).  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Video: switch to gemini-omni-1.1-flash (not the Veo 3.1 preview ids, which were also shut down on Oct 22, 2026) or the Enterprise Agent Platform Veo GA models. Images: switch Imagen calls to gemini-nano-banana-2.1, then re-test prompts and output settings.
