How to get started with Gemini 1.5 Flash

[Josh_Gordon_Google]

Hey everyone! I put together some links to help you give Gemini 1.5 Flash a spin, if you want to try it out.

First, try this notebook. This will show you how to install the Python SDK, create a model, and run some prompts with text and images.

• cookbook/quickstarts/Gemini_Flash_Introduction.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub

Next, try Flash with audio. Here’s a cool example:

• cookbook/quickstarts/Audio.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub

You can upload large text files too, and use them in your prompts:

• cookbook/examples/Apollo_11.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub

Flash can work with video, too:

• cookbook/quickstarts/Video.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub

You can also use system instructions

• cookbook/quickstarts/System_instructions.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub

JSON mode:

• cookbook/quickstarts/JSON_mode.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub

And function calling:

• cookbook/quickstarts/Function_calling.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub

If you want to call Flash using a tool like curl from your command line, you can find an example of that here (just replace gemini-pro with gemini-1.5-flash in the url):

• cookbook/quickstarts/rest/Prompting_REST.ipynb at main · google-gemini/cookbook · GitHub
