Google Gemini PaLM API: migration, models, and usage
Blog post from CodeWords
Google's transition from the PaLM API to the Gemini API marks a significant shift in AI model capabilities, focusing on expanding the potential of automated workflows through multimodal input and extensive context windows. The Gemini line, introduced as the successor to PaLM, includes models like Gemini 1.5 Pro, which offers a 2-million-token context window and supports text, images, audio, and video processing, making it ideal for handling complex analysis and long documents. The migration process is guided through Google's Generative AI documentation, with similar request/response structures but a significant architectural evolution from text-only models to multimodal capabilities. CodeWords provides native access to Gemini models, bypassing the need for API key management, and facilitates building workflows with the AI assistant Cody. This integration allows for seamless model switching and workflow automation, making it particularly beneficial for teams leveraging multiple AI tools in their pipelines. The Gemini models are accessible through Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, with CodeWords offering a platform where model costs are bundled into its pricing, simplifying budgeting and enhancing automation potential for smaller teams without extensive ML infrastructure.
