New GoogleAI provider and Gemini models
3 months ago by Cormick Marskamp
With the introduction of Google AI as a new provider on the platform, the previous 'Google' provider is renamed to Vertex AI.
If you were using Google as a provider before, you don't have to do anything, you will only see a different provider name. The model will remain exactly the same.
Google AI allows you to set up your own API keys, whereas VertexAI does not give you this option.
Why should I use Google AI instead of Vertex AI?
In addition to Google AI allowing you to set up your own API keys, they also offer their latest and experimental models. So, if you want to test out their newest models, Google AI is the way to go.
The new models that are available in Google AI:
- Gemini-1.5-flash-8b-exp-0827
- Gemini-1.5-flash-exp-0827
- Gemini-1.5-pro-exp-0801
- Gemini-1.5-pro-exp-0827
