Token limit error (1.5 Pro and Flash)

Gemini API

Hi,

I’m working on a search engine that send the found documents to Flash model for summarization.
When I retrieve the docs and send them to the model I get: google.api_core.exceptions.InvalidArgument: 400 The input token count (34108) exceeds the maximum number of tokens allowed (32767).
By the limits listed online this should be well within the capabilities of the model (I also tested Pro model just to get the same error). Can I define the input token limit? Is it reduced by default?

P.S.
The error occurs only when use grounding (Vertex AI search). It works OK when grounding is not used.

Hi @KonradPs,

Have you tried with “2.0-flash-exp” ?? Is it the same case with this model also??

I only tested 1.5-flash. It seems that when using grounding the token limit is different compared to ‘non-grounded’ use.

Hey @KonradPs,

Grounding is not supported for non-text input with 1.5 models. Without retrieval tool it will work. Use “2.0-flash-exp” latest model with grounding if you want to upload files or multimodal input.
You can also try this in Vertex AI studio or in Google AI studio, it will throw error.
