In addition to the base models, the Gemini API
offers experimental models available in Preview, as defined in the
Terms, meaning it is not for
production use. We release experimental models to gather feedback, get our
latest updates into the hands of developers quickly, and highlight the pace of
innovation happening at Google. What we learn from experimental launches informs
how we release models more widely. An experimental model can be swapped for
another without prior notice. We don't guarantee that an experimental model will
become a stable model in the future.
Use an experimental model
The Gemini API's experimental models are available for all users. You can use
the experimental models either in your code directly using the Gemini API, or
you can use an experimental model in
Google AI Studio:
Gemini API
To use an experimental model, specify the model code when you initialize the
generative model. For example:
Select the model code of the experimental model you want to use in the
Model drop-down menu in the Settings pane. Experimental models are
labeled Preview in the drop-down menu.
