The official Google Gen AI Python SDK for integrating Google's generative models (Gemini Developer API and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform) into Python applications. It provides clients for text generation, chats, live streaming, tunings, and token counting.
Use cases
- generate text with Gemini models from Python
- build chatbots using the Gemini API
- call Vertex AI / Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform from Python
- stream model responses in real time
- count tokens for Gemini prompts
- fine-tune or tune Gemini models via SDK
When to choose
- you want the official, maintained client for Gemini or Vertex AI generative models in Python
- you need access to the latest Gemini features like live streaming, function calling, and tunings
- you are building Python applications or agents on Google's AI platforms
When to avoid
- you primarily use OpenAI, Anthropic, or other non-Google model providers
- you need a language other than Python (use the equivalent SDK for your language)
- you depend on legacy google-generativeai APIs without migrating
