Google Bring back the Gemini-1.5-Pro-Exp-0827 model

Gemini API

I don’t know why you removed the best version of Google’s Gemini, but today I went to use it and the model wasn’t available. Instead, I tried using Gemini 1.5 Pro 002 and 1.5 Pro. I use AI every day for the same task, so it’s very easy to notice when there’s a nerf in the models, and these models are clearly nerfed compared to Gemini-1.5-Pro-Exp-0827. So, either bring back the best model or bring a better one. Dont treat us like idiots.

Welcome to the forum. Several people have voiced the same concerns (see for example Where is my Experimental 0827? Can you announce it before? It's shocked me! and Will the experimental models return? ) and it would certainly be useful to have the experimental models reinstated in AI Studio.

In any case, the experimental models are available from the API. The list_models operation currently returns these experimental models:

models/gemini-1.5-pro-exp-0801
models/gemini-1.5-pro-exp-0827
models/gemini-1.5-flash-exp-0827
models/gemini-1.5-flash-8b-exp-0827
models/gemini-1.5-flash-8b-exp-0924

Hope that helps.

Well, I wrote Where is my Experimental 0827? Can you announce it before? It’s shocked me!, and I’ve even seen something like API that you talked about. But honestly, I’m not a coder, nor a developer, I’m just a creator and stumbled upon GG AI Studio. So even though I’ve been looking into APIs these past few days, I still can’t grasp what they do, where they are used, or how to use them. Can you tell me how I can actually use my API? Like, is there an app I can use, or one I need to download? Feel like I could become a coder right now just to get my favorite model back. I’m nuts now!!!

Haiz, I’m just wanna finish my unfinished work.

Though spend lots of time to find out others, 0827 still the best!

If you have never used code before it’s not exactly easy, but many people have started writing code and getting some help writing it from large language models, so it’s doable.

One place to start is the Get Code button, in AI Studio upper right corner. It will generate code for the prompt shown in AI Studio that invokes the API. You copy and paste that code into your project files.

Because the dropdown doesn’t have the experimental models, the generated code will have something like this line

model = genai.GenerativeModel(
  model_name="gemini-1.5-pro-002",
  generation_config=generation_config,
)

It is using the model from the dropdown. You go ahead and change the string gemini-1.5-pro-002 and replace it with your favorite model.

This post is clearly not enough to get you started, the introductory documentation at Generowanie tekstu za pomocą interfejsu Gemini API  |  Google AI for Developers is also needed. Give it a try, as I previously said, many people have been successful at building their own interface to a large language model this way.
