Usage Considerations

  • API usage will count against your Google AI API quota and billing
  • Different models have different pricing - check Google AI’s pricing page for details
  • Model capabilities vary - more powerful models may provide better results but at higher cost
  • Google Gemini provides:
    • Advanced reasoning capabilities
    • Multimodal understanding (text, images, code)
    • Support for long contexts
    • Optimized performance across various tasks

​
Troubleshooting

  • If you encounter authentication errors, verify your API key is correct and has not expired
  • Ensure your Google account has billing set up if you’re using paid service tiers
  • Check that the model name is spelled correctly and available in your region
  • Verify that your API key has access to the specific model you’ve selected
  • If you’re experiencing rate limits, check your API usage in the Google AI Studio dashboard
