--- type: transcript date: 2023-12-14 youtube_id: NHt_Th2rgvQ --- # Transcript: Gemini Pro API in Google AI Studio - Free Access in 3 Minutes! in this video I'm going to be showing you how to get started with the new Gemini pro model within Google AI studio so the Gemini pro model was just released yesterday through their API and there's a ton of good examples on how to get started in various programming languages as well as if you're just interested in playing around with this within a GUI and you want to play around and see what it's capable of with passing it images and that type of thing so the thing that's most exciting about this potentially is that you're able to access the Gemini pro model through their API for free for up to 60 queries per minute so this is a huge amount of queries that if you were an open AI or an anthropic to be able to have that many queries per minute it would add up very very quickly potentially in terms of your bill and your usage for all the different tokens so this tier in particular is sort of like a scorched Earth approach especially for hobbyists this is an incredibly powerful model so it's somewhere on the uh comparable level of something like gbd 3.5 so it does very well with reasoning and the fact that it's free I think is going to appeal to an incredible lot of uh AI developers here so to get started with the uh Google AI studio if you just head over to ai. gooogle dodev and you just click get API key in Google AI studio so I made a video yesterday on how to get set up with Google Cloud so if you're looking to go into Google Cloud uh set up an account go into vertex Ai and build this within an application I'll link the video to that within this as well but if you just want to play around with a model you can just simply go to uh the Google AI Studio set up an account with your uh Google account like you typically would you don't need to put in a credit card or anything to get started with this and what you'll be able to do is as soon as you accept all the terms and conditions there like you just saw me do you'll have access to both the Gemini Pro and the Gemini Pro Vision model so the Gemini Pro Vision model you can pass in both images and text so if you say here's a screenshot build this in uh tailwind and uh HTML or whatever you want to do or what is in this photo or describe this photo or whatever you want to sort of do with the vision portion you can do that within here so you can also just like you would interact with within a playground something like the opening eye playground you can play around with the model in here as well so there's also some other good examples so if you're looking to get some ideas on how to actually leverage these models they have a good prompt template Gallery here where you can just sort of look around and get used to how to work with the model or get some ideas on how you could potentially use it and the other nice thing is within the AI Studio you can also select get code here and there are more options than what are available within the Google Cloud implementation at least as of now so this gives you the JavaScript implementation python it gives you even Android and Swift where you can just go ahead copy these and paste them within your code editor and get started with uh building on these things so that's pretty much it for this video If you obviously wanted to make an API key it's just right here in the left hand side so if you're copying code over just make sure that you're grabbing the API I key as well but that's it for this one if you found this video useful please like comment share and subscribe and otherwise until the next one
