Google Release Notes

Remote Config

• Starting September 1, 2026, Remote Config offers a usage-based pricing structure based on daily fetch request volume. Every project includes a no-cost tier of up to 100,000 daily fetch requests, with pay-as-you-go pricing on the Blaze plan for usage exceeding this threshold. All features (including Personalization, Rollouts, and A/B Testing integration) remain included across both Spark and Blaze plans at no additional cost. To learn more about pricing plans, grace periods, and usage monitoring, see Pricing for Remote Config.

A/B Testing

• A/B Testing is now integrated directly into Remote Config as a native feature, bringing experiments into the core Remote Config template lifecycle. To learn more, see Create Firebase Remote Config experiments with A/B Testing and the A/B Testing troubleshooting and FAQ guide.

Feature

Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 is now available

Claude Fable 5.1 is available in Model Garden.

Change

Embedding SKUs are changing

Memory bank uses the following embedding model SKUs:

• 6E46-5623-C0B6
• C15D-A68F-5C1E
• 2D07-D52C-A93B

For detailed information about individual SKUs, see Google Cloud Platform SKUs.

Feature

Agentic video processing now available in Preview

Gemini 3.5 Pro and later models now support agentic video processing, where the model dynamically navigates video content instead of extracting frames at a fixed rate. This reduces token usage for long-form video and improves answer quality. Set processing: "agentic" (Interactions API) or media_processing: "AGENTIC" (GenerateContent API) on video inputs, or use the model default.

See Video understanding for details.

Change

Pricing updates for agent metering

Session and memory bank compute metering is in effect for the Agent Platform compute SKU. For more information, see Gemini Agent Platform Pricing.

Feature

Gemini Enterprise: Overage controls available for all invoiced Cloud Billing accounts

Configuring overage controls in Gemini Enterprise is available to all projects linked to an invoiced Cloud Billing account. Previously, customers that received an email with the subject line [Billing Update] New Gemini Enterprise overage billing controls launching Aug 17, 2026 couldn't enable overages despite having an invoiced Cloud Billing account. This restriction no longer applies.

For more information, see Overview of overages and spend controls.

Firebase AI Logic

• Firebase AI Logic now supports the us and eu locations. When you use the Agent Platform Gemini API (formerly Vertex AI) (and depending on the model), you can choose where to access the model to meet your compliance, latency, availability, and durability requirements.

  Note that Firebase AI Logic defaults to the following locations:

  • When using the new "Agent Platform" initialization syntax: global
  • When using the legacy "Vertex AI" initialization syntax: us-central1

  Learn more about specifying the location for accessing the model.

20260831.01_p0 Release

Change

Installed latest packages from upstream dependencies.

Change

Installed latest packages from upstream dependencies.

Fixed

The terminal and file browser are now more responsive when working in a Cloud Storage bucket that is mounted through the file browser. Frequent background checks for non-existent files are now cached instead of repeatedly querying Cloud Storage, which previously could make actions such as listing files or running terminal commands take several seconds.

Fixed

Cloud Storage buckets that you mount through the file browser are now automatically re-mounted after the instance is restarted or is stopped and started. Previously the mounted folder could be left behind as an empty, unusable directory that had to be manually removed and re-mounted.

Change

The obsolete google-cloud-sdk transitional package is no longer installed. The Google Cloud CLI itself is unchanged; it was already provided by the google-cloud-cli package.

Feature

Gemini Enterprise: New data stores and support for new actions (Preview)

The following data stores are available in Public Preview in Gemini Enterprise:

• Campfire
• Clay
• CourtListener
• Daloopa
• MSCI

You can search and read data from these data stores using natural language.

Additionally, the following data stores support new actions in Public Preview:

• AirOps: Update knowledge base document metadata.
• Airtable: Create records for a table.
• Zoho Desk: Update event.

Imagen models

• All Imagen models shut down on August 17, 2026 (note that this shutdown date was extended from the previous June 30, 2026).

  To accommodate this shutdown, we've removed all Imagen APIs from the Firebase AI Logic SDKs and documentation.

  This shutdown date is applicable to both the Gemini Developer API (Google AI) and the Agent Platform Gemini API (formerly Vertex AI). As a replacement, you can migrate your apps to use a Gemini Image model (like one of the "Nano Banana" models).

  If you use Imagen models via Firebase AI Logic, you can migrate your apps to use a Gemini Image model to restore service. Models that are shut down are no longer accessible or supported by Google, and a request using a shutdown model name returns a 404 error.

SDK Releases

• The Firebase SDK for Unity (v13.16.0) is now available. This release includes new features in Firebase AI, FCM, and Remote Config; changes to Firebase AI; bug fixes in Firebase AI and Cloud Functions; and other changes and fixes.

Feature

CodeMender updates (v0.5.0)

This release introduces updates to CodeMender:

• Model support: Support for Gemini 3.6 Flash (gemini-3.6-flash) and Gemini 3.7 Flash (gemini-3.7-flash, default).
• Unrestricted verification: Added the --unrestricted flag to cm verify to bypass command policy restrictions during exploit verification in isolated environments.
• Bug fixes:
  • Improved reliability of long sessions.
  • Improved shell resolution across operating environments.
  • Clearer permission denied error messages.
  • Fixed an issue where the CodeMender sandbox would fail to initialize with an error due to relative paths.

For more information, see CodeMender documentation.

• MaterialButton: Added support for Material 3 styling properties (appearance, disableRipple, and extended), along with new variants (icon, fab, and mini-fab). Obsolete color and ARIA description properties have been removed.
• Validation checks: Replaced the static required boolean property across input components (MaterialCheckbox, MaterialDatepicker, MaterialInput, MaterialSelect, and MaterialTimepicker) with the reactive validation checks rule array.
• MaterialIcon and MaterialChips: Added the tooltip property on MaterialIcon and the action property on MaterialChips.
• Layout and input types: Documented all supported justify alignment values for MaterialColumn and MaterialRow, and updated allowed input types for MaterialInput.

Feature

Gemini Enterprise: Cloud Monitoring observability for data connectors

Cloud Monitoring telemetry for Gemini Enterprise data connectors (also referred to as data stores) has been updated with support for new metric dimensions and a new latency metric:

• The discoveryengine.googleapis.com/dataconnector/request_count count metric has been updated to include three new dimensions: tool_id (the identifier of the connector tool invoked), engine_id (the Gemini Enterprise app identifier), and response_code (the gRPC response status). The existing status dimension remains supported.
• A new latency metric, discoveryengine.googleapis.com/dataconnector/request_latencies (Beta), is available to monitor the distribution of tool invocation latency in milliseconds. It includes the dimensions status, response_code, tool_id, and engine_id.

For more information, see Access metrics.
