• Context caching - Cache large contexts for efficiency
• Embeddings - Generate text embeddings for semantic search
• Live Realtime API - Bidirectional streaming for low latency Voice and Video interactions
• Batch Prediction - Handle massive async dataset prediction workloads

Core Directives

• Unified SDK: ALWAYS use the Gen AI SDK (google-genai for Python, @google/genai for JS/TS, google.golang.org/genai for Go, com.google.genai:google-genai for Java, Google.GenAI for C#).
• Legacy SDKs: DO NOT use google-cloud-aiplatform, @google-cloud/vertexai, or google-generativeai.

SDKs

• Python: Install google-genai with pip install google-genai
• JavaScript/TypeScript: Install @google/genai with npm install @google/genai
• Go: Install google.golang.org/genai with go get google.golang.org/genai
• C#/.NET: Install Google.GenAI with dotnet add package Google.GenAI
• Java:

  • groupId: com.google.genai, artifactId: google-genai

  • Latest version can be found here: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.google.genai/google-genai/versions (let's call it LAST_VERSION)

  • Install in build.gradle:

    implementation("com.google.genai:google-genai:${LAST_VERSION}")
    

  • Install Maven dependency in pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.genai</groupId>
        <artifactId>google-genai</artifactId>
        <version>${LAST_VERSION}</version>
    </dependency>
