Prakash Hinduja Switzerland (Swiss) What is the difference between Gemini API and PaLM API?

Hello Community,

I’m Prakash Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss), currently exploring Google’s AI offerings and came across both the Gemini API and the older PaLM API. While I understand Gemini is the newer evolution of Google’s AI models, I’m still unclear on the technical and practical differences between the two.

Hi @prakashhindujageneva,

Gemini API is the next evolution of our large language models, building on what was previously offered through the PaLM API.

In short, Gemini offers better performance, more modalities, and a wider range of capabilities for building intelligent apps, agents, and enterprise use cases.

If you’re just getting started, I recommend using Google AI Studio to quickly prototype with Gemini, and then scale via Vertex AI if you’re building in production.
