Hi,I’m facing this error today - it never happened before . I also tried to fix the code as it was instructed here - Troubleshooting guide | Gemini API | Google AI for Developers - but it’s still showing the same failure.

same here. adjusted prompt size, still same error.

Welcome to the forums! 500 errors happen on occasion, and usually if you retry a few seconds or minutes later, it will have been resolved. Some things you may want to look at or mention: What model are you using? How many tokens is your prompt, including media? What media are you including and h…

Hi, I’m using gemini-1.5-flash , it probably takes something around 350 tokens per request - I’m using images and all the scripts are fine here infact it was even working really fine yesterday.

Hi, I’m not using this for profit or commercial purpose - it’s something like the api is going to separate my images according to face - I mean the api will categorize the image into separate folder according to people. Is this allowed to do using Gemini api studio?

The question wasn’t about what your purpose is, the question was about what the exact model name is, technical information that will help people replicate your issue, if they can.

Hi, its model = genai.GenerativeModel(“gemini-1.5-flash”), i just made my script using this Explore vision capabilities with the Gemini API | Google AI for Developers which I’m doing ,is this allowed here btw?

Yes, what you’re doing is allowed. I’m editing my original question to be more clear. Try to adjust it to use a specific model name with id. Such as “gemini-1.5-flash-002”.

The page illustrates two ways of including images. Can you clarify which library and methods you’re using?
