We are looking into adding gemini 2.0 for our workflow when it is productionzed in Jan 2025. I have noticed that many times, the model would stop outputting mid-stream. The stream seems to still be running because after a while it ends. But after the freeze, I don’t receive the response any more. So…

I believe I found out why this is happening https://discuss.ai.google.dev/t/gemini-2-0-flash-has-a-weird-bug/65119/20?u=isaac_koczwara TLDR: set the temperature to 1.0

Have you noticed what happens when the output is stopped/paused? It’s not unusual and it has happened to me multiple times, but it should provide you with an explanation of why it has paused

This is unaccpetable, and it still charge you money!!

@Caio_Jardim there is no error at all. One thing I notice: when the output is paused/stopped, after the streaming is done, the response is still incomplete/truncated but there are a lot of blank space at the end of the response. @rockmandash well it is free (experimental model)

I have used the API key with TypingMind, I got billing attatched, and the api always timeout, and it still charges me money though.

Happened to us yesterday too. Maybe we hit an output token limit for experimental models, but G would probably argue this is experimental so could just break. The latter doesn’t allow true evaluation for your existing prompts so I would wait till GA for that. Not clear why releasing a model if G k…

@Finsheet_Mail I know you mention that this happens with many prompts but: Do you have some sample prompts with you’re using where I can check the blank space? Are you working with long context prompts?

Hi, this is the problematic prompt: Problematic prompt - Google Docs . I tried on AI Studio using Gemini 2.0 flash and it always works there. Not sure why it doesn’t work consistently with API. After doing some more testing, here are the additional info that found out It only happens when I ask fo…

Does anyone know the answer for this? I tried today with the production Gemini 2.0 Flash, but the problem is still there. The problem appears for all models in the 2.0 flash family (2.0 flash, 2.0 flash lite, 2.0 flash thinking). However, the exact same prompt works 100% for 2.0 Pro. The 1.5 flash h…

I wanted to add my own experience here too, at first I was using 2.0 experimental and i would see that many times it would just cut out and stop before completing. Since yesterday I have been using the stable 2.0 version and it has the exact same issues. when I use flash 1.5 then I do not get any is…

I have similar experiences. Especially when the model needs to generate Markdown tables from complex PDFs for example. It sometimes repeatedly “hangs” and give weird output at the start of text of the markdown table. (Note I am not hitting any output limits etc.) It happens very often with the flas…

I try to help if you tell me where you use your API key
