gemini-3.5-flash-liteto the available model list. Remove deprecated modelmistralai--mistral-large-instruct(retirement date: 2026-09-30).
Patch Changes
- 3483acb: [fix] Set the default http agent socket timeout for AI Core requests to 1201 seconds (1201000 ms).
This overrides the Cloud SDK default of 5 seconds, which is too short for chat and streaming completions.
The value covers the orchestration server-side maximum of 1200 seconds plus 1 second of leeway.
Keep-alive is now disabled on these requests.
This avoids reusing stale sockets that a load balancer may have closed during the longer timeout.
Both settings apply only to the service-binding destination.
You can still override them with a custom destination's
agentOptionsorCustomRequestConfig.httpsAgent.
