Google AI Studio

Google AI Studio helps developers experiment with Gemini models, compare prompts, and adjust output settings directly in their browsers. The official quick start guide uses multi-turn chat as an example, while also providing access to various use cases such as real-time streaming and video generation.

Run settings allows you to adjust model parameters and security settings, and enables tools such as structured output, function calls, code execution, and information retrieval based on the model’s capabilities. After completing interactive testing, you can select “Get code” and a programming language to further build your own applications using the Gemini API.

Access, rate limits, and billing for AI Studio and the Gemini API must be confirmed separately. The official offering includes a free tier and a paid tier; the paid tier involves rules such as billing integration and prepaid plans. Due to differences in models, regions, and account conditions, the web experience should not be directly interpreted as meaning that all models and APIs are infinitely free.

The Gemini API offers free and paid tiers, with quotas, rates, and available models varying based on the account and billing terms; the paid tier must be activated in accordance with the official billing rules, and not all calls are assumed to be free.
