● AI commentator Chubby recently tweeted that Gemini 3.0 could launch between November 12 and 18, generating buzz in the tech world. The speculation gained credibility when Google announced on November 4, 2025, that multiple Gemini 2.x models—including gemini-2.0-flash-lite-preview and several pro-preview variants—will be deprecated on November 18.
● The unusually broad retirement of both "flash" and "pro" lines hints at a major shift, possibly consolidating everything under Gemini 3.0. This timing matches DeepMind's pattern of releasing major updates every six months, with the 2.5 series debuting in May 2025. Experts anticipate faster multimodal reasoning, extended context windows, and improved benchmarks that could challenge GPT-5 and Claude 3.
● For developers, the deprecation creates urgency. Once support ends, API calls to retired models will fail, risking disruptions for production systems. Companies need to migrate quickly to avoid downtime.
● According to the tweet, "all signs point to November 18"—a date that could mark both the end of the old Gemini lineup and the start of a new chapter. If it happens, Gemini 3.0 would be one of Google's biggest AI moves yet, positioning it as a serious contender in the global LLM race.
