Vertex AI Gemini API

The Vertex AI Gemini API provides a unified interface for interacting with Gemini models. There are two Gemini 1.0 Pro models available in the Gemini API:

  • Gemini 1.0 Pro model (gemini-1.0-pro): Fine-tuned model to handle natural language tasks such as classification, summarization, extraction, and writing.
  • Gemini 1.0 Pro Vision model (gemini-1.0-pro-vision): Multimodal model that supports adding image and video in text or chat prompts for a text response.

You can interact with the Gemini API by using the following methods:

  • Use Vertex AI Studio for quick testing and command generation.
  • Use cURL commands in Cloud Shell.
  • Use the Vertex AI SDK for Python in a Jupyter notebook

This notebook focuses on using the cURL commands to call the Vertex AI Gemini API.

🎟 By participating in the event you will have the opportunity to:

  • Explore how Gemini deploys functionality in a Google Cloud environment.
  • Participate in codelab and interact with industry technical experts.

Important reminder: Participants must bring their own computers for use in the Hands on lab.
