Gemini Support on Nest Minis and Hubs

[tomasenskede]

My Nest Minis and Hubs are running Google Assistant, but I don’t see an option to select the new Gemini. Will this feature become available, or is Gemini only supported on newer hardware?

• Google Hub: Firmware 22.20240805-103-161, Cast 3.75.446835
• Google Mini: Firmware 437716, Cast 3.74.437716

I found this article: https://9to5google.com/2024/12/11/gemini-google-assistant-nest-mini-audio/

I live in Belgium, I'm in the preview programm of google home, but don't see this new option in the preview section. If there's an update I can try out, I'm willing to do that. Thanks in advance for the info.

Perhaps this article on 9togoogle.com could be of any help? https://9to5google.com/2024/12/11/gemini-google-assistant-nest-mini-audio/

As I'm living in Belgium, it seems I can't test this out, although I'm in home preview.
