Just wanted to say that Gemini 1.5-Pro is still the SOTA foundational model for certain languages (including non-Google models), so it's disappointing to have received the email that it will be removed in September - it will cause our product quality to go backwards when we're forced to replace it by a worse model. Unless a better one appears in that time, but we've extensively tested all big models and for the languages in question, none of them perform on the same level.

Happy to elaborate if there's a way to get in touch, in case the team isn't aware of this.
