- Why
- Imagen 4 Ultra is genuinely photorealistic at 2K and API-stable today, but it is officially deprecated with a fixed Aug-2026 shutdown, is out-ranked by current frontier models, and is no longer Google's cost-optimal tier — building new pipelines on it incurs forced re-migration.
- Next
- Migrate brand image generation to Gemini Flash Image (Nano Banana family) before the Aug 17, 2026 Imagen 4 shutdown; only use Imagen 4 Ultra for in-flight 2K hero assets and confirm migration in the generate-media skill.
