I am trying to use model gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025 via Vertex AI but getting “publisher model was not found or your project does not have access to it“ when attempting to make the generate_content call. It works for other gemini models except computer use. I don’t see any place to enable computer use model from vertex ai Model Garden

project location is - us-central1

can someone help on this topic

Hi @Suraj_Rana
Welcome to the AI Forum!!

Thanks for reaching out!
You are using us-central1, that is generally supported for many Gemini models, but preview tooling sometimes only works via global or specific endpoints. Make sure your calls are directed to a supported location.

Hi Shivam,

Thank you for the quick response. Changing the gcp location to global has fixed this issue.
