The `gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06` model is now available for Vertex and Gemini providers. Users of `gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25` will automatically use the new model, as the older ID now aliases to the latest version on Google's end. No configuration changes are needed to benefit from the update.
