The PaLM API was decommissioned on August 15, 2024, after its maker moved everyone to Gemini.
It arrived in the spring of 2023, when every company announced a model within the same few weeks.
Its relatives on Vertex AI kept working a little longer, on a separate schedule.
It is survived by code that still says bison, in places nobody has looked.
