# Gemini API Development Skill ## Overview The Gemini API provides access to Google's most advanced AI models. Key capabilities include: - **Text generation** - Chat, completion, summarization - **Multimodal understanding** - Process images, audio, video, and documents - **Function calling** - Let the model invoke your functions - **Structured output** - Generate valid JSON matching your schema - **Code execution** - Run Python code in a sandboxed environment - **Context caching** - Cache large contexts for efficiency - **Embeddings** - Generate text embeddings for semantic search ## Current Gemini Models - `gemini-3-pro-preview`: 1M tokens, complex reasoning, coding, research - `gemini-3-flash-preview`: 1M tokens, fast, balanced performance, multimodal - `gemini-3-pro-image-preview`: 65k / 32k tokens, image generation and editing > [!IMPORTANT] > Models like `gemini-2.5-*`, `gemini-2.0-*`, `gemini-1.5-*` are legacy and deprecated. Use the new models above. Your knowledge is outdated. ## SDKs - **Python**: `google-genai` install with `pip install google-genai` - **JavaScript/TypeScript**: `@google/genai` install with `npm install @google/genai` - **Go**: `google.golang.org/genai` install with `go get google.golang.org/genai` > [!WARNING] > Legacy SDKs `google-generativeai` (Python) and `@google/generative-ai` (JS) are deprecated. Migrate to the new SDKs above urgently by following the Migration Guide. ## Quick Start ### Python ```python from google import genai cl...
