ROBOTICS — The ER 1.6 preview that shut down on August 31 does have a successor. Gemini Robotics ER 2 is in public preview, in both standard and streaming variantsVIDEO — ER 2 judges success and failure from live video rather than still snapshots, which is what lets it catch spills, slips, and misalignments while a task is still runningDEADLINE — Next up is September 30, when gemini-omni-flash-preview is retired. The target is gemini-omni-1.1-flash, GA since August 27, and there are now under four weeks leftAPIKEY — Every remaining standard API key, restricted ones included, stops working during September. The replacement is an auth key bound to a Google Cloud service accountPRICE — Gemini 3.7 Flash keeps its introductory $0.75/$3.75 per 1M through December 31, then moves to $1.50/$7.50 on January 1, 2027. Any estimate crossing the year needs both figuresAUDIO — Gemini 3.5 Transcribe handles language detection across 85+ languages, speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, and custom vocabulary biasing of up to 1,000 termsROBOTICS — The ER 1.6 preview that shut down on August 31 does have a successor.

Green Tests, Dead Production — How Recorded Fixtures Hide a Model Retirement, and a Freshness Gate to Catch It

A test suite that replays recorded API responses will sail straight past a model retirement. I reproduce the failure in a minimal setup and build a cassette freshness gate, with measured overhead.

Guarding Gemini API Responses in CI: Snapshot and Semantic Regression Testing

Defend non-deterministic Gemini API responses with pytest snapshots plus embedding-based semantic regression detection: record/replay CI, a weekly live smoke that keeps cassettes honest, per-field drift reporting, threshold calibration, and update governance — all in working code.

Don't Let Your Gemini Prompts Silently Rot — A Practical Regression Testing Playbook with Pytest

Ever tweaked a prompt and watched production quality quietly degrade? This article walks through testing Gemini API prompts with Pytest, combining snapshot tests and LLM-as-Judge to catch regressions automatically — all from the perspective of an individual developer running things solo.
