Summary A

Google's latest Gemini models now silently ignore temperature, top_p, and top_k — these sampling params are deprecated and have no effect on output. If your production code relies on low temperature for deterministic/structured extraction or high temperature for creative diversity, that lever is gone; you'll need to shift control to prompting, structured output constraints, or thinking-budget settings, and you should audit any pipeline that assumed those knobs still worked.
