Google Gemini API: Building with Multimodal AI

Google's Gemini models provide powerful multimodal capabilities for text, image, and code understanding.

#gemini#google-ai#multimodal#api

Gemini models process text, images, and code with state-of-the-art capabilities. The API provides access to various model sizes balancing capability and cost. Integration patterns differ from single-modality models.

API Usage

Structure requests with parts containing different content types. Configure generation parameters for your use case. Handle streaming responses for better user experience. Implement proper error handling for API limits.

  • Use appropriate model size for your task complexity
  • Structure multimodal inputs as content parts
  • Configure temperature and top-p for desired output style
  • Implement streaming for responsive applications
  • Handle rate limits with exponential backoff

Multimodal Applications

Combine text and images for visual understanding tasks. Process documents with both text and visual elements. Generate content based on image inputs. Build applications leveraging multiple modalities.
