Explore Google's AI: Gemini & Gemma Series Overview

info

For detailed information about using models with APIpie, check out our Models Overview and Completions Guide.

Description

Google's AI models, including the Gemini Series and Gemma Series, represent cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence. Developed by Google DeepMind, these models leverage state-of-the-art technology to deliver exceptional performance across various AI tasks. The models are available through multiple providers integrated with APIpie's routing system.

The Gemini Series represents Google's most advanced AI models, capable of sophisticated reasoning across text, code, images, and video. Meanwhile, the Gemma Series offers efficient, open-source models built on the same research and technology as Gemini. These models are accessible through Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform and various third-party providers.

Key Features

• Advanced Token Processing: Models support context lengths from 4K to 2M tokens for comprehensive text processing, with optimized performance across different scales.
• Multi-Provider Access: Available through platforms like Google Cloud, OpenRouter, EdenAI, and more, with enterprise-grade security.
• Versatile Applications: Optimized for chat, instruction-following, code generation, and multimodal tasks, with state-of-the-art performance across domains.

Example API Call

Below is an example of how to use the Chat Completions API to interact with a model from the Google Series, such as gemini-pro-1.5.

curl -L -X POST 'https://apipie.ai/v1/chat/completions' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
