Gemini API は、アプリケーション開発やプロトタイピングで使用できるプログラミング API として、Gemma へのホスト型アクセスを提供します。この API は、Gemma とウェブサービスの独自のローカル インスタンスを設定して生成 AI タスクを処理するのに代わる便利な方法です。
サポートされているモデル
Gemini API は、次の Gemma 4 モデルをサポートしています。
gemma-4-31b-itgemma-4-26b-a4b-it
次の例は、Gemini API で Gemma を使用する方法を示しています。
Python
from google import genai
client = genai.Client()
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemma-4-26b-a4b-it",
contents="Roses are red...",
)
print(response.text)
JavaScript
import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
const ai = new GoogleGenAI();
const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
model: "gemma-4-26b-a4b-it",
contents: "Roses are red...",
});
console.log(response.text);
REST
curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it:generateContent" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-X POST \
-d '{
"contents": [{
"parts":[{"text": "Roses are red..."}]
}]
}'
Gemini API には、モバイル、ウェブ、クラウド サービスなど、多くのプラットフォームで、複数のプログラミング言語を使用してアクセスできます。Gemini API SDK パッケージの詳細については、Gemini API SDK のダウンロード ページをご覧ください。Gemini API の概要については、 Gemini API のクイックスタートをご覧ください。
思考モード
Gemma 4 は、内部の「思考プロセス」を利用して、複数ステップの推論を最適化します。これにより、アルゴリズム コーディングや高度な数学的証明など、論理的に要求の厳しい分野で優れたパフォーマンスを発揮します。
Gemma 4 では、この機能のオンとオフの切り替えのみが厳密にサポートされています。API でこの機能を有効にするには、
思考レベルを "high" に設定します。
次の例は、思考プロセスを有効にする方法を示しています。
Python
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
client = genai.Client()
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemma-4-26b-a4b-it",
contents="What is the water formula?",
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
thinking_config=types.ThinkingConfig(thinking_level="high")
),
)
print(response.text)
JavaScript
import { GoogleGenAI, ThinkingLevel } from "@google/genai";
const ai = new GoogleGenAI();
const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
model: "gemma-4-26b-a4b-it",
contents: "What is the water formula?",
config: {
thinkingConfig: {
thinkingLevel: ThinkingLevel.HIGH,
},
},
});
console.log(response.text);
REST
curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it:generateContent" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-X POST \
-d '{
"contents": [{
"parts":[{"text": "What is the water formula?"}]
}],
"generationConfig": {
"thinkingConfig": {
"thinkingLevel": "high"
}
}
}'

画像理解
Gemma 4 モデルは画像を処理できるため、これまでドメイン固有のモデルが必要だった多くの最先端の開発者ユースケースを実現できます。
次の例は、Gemini API で Gemma 画像入力を使用する方法を示しています。
Python
from google import genai
client = genai.Client()
my_file = client.files.upload(file="path/to/sample.jpg")
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemma-4-26b-a4b-it",
contents=[my_file, "Caption this image."],
)
print(response.text)
JavaScript
import {
GoogleGenAI,
createUserContent,
createPartFromUri,
} from "@google/genai";
const ai = new GoogleGenAI();
const myfile = await ai.files.upload({
file: "path/to/sample.jpg",
config: { mimeType: "image/jpeg" },
});
const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
model: "gemma-4-26b-a4b-it",
contents: createUserContent([
createPartFromUri(myfile.uri, myfile.mimeType),
"Caption this image.",
]),
});
console.log(response.text);
```
