Google Gemini¶

v2¶

Class: GoogleGeminiBlockV2 (there are multiple versions of this block)

Source: inference.core.workflows.core_steps.models.foundation.google_gemini.v2.GoogleGeminiBlockV2

Warning: This block has multiple versions. Please refer to the specific version for details. You can learn more about how versions work here: Versioning

Ask a question to Google's Gemini model with vision capabilities.

You can specify arbitrary text prompts or predefined ones, the block supports the following types of prompt:

Open Prompt (unconstrained) - Use any prompt to generate a raw response
Text Recognition (OCR) (ocr) - Model recognizes text in the image
Visual Question Answering (visual-question-answering) - Model answers the question you submit in the prompt
Captioning (short) (caption) - Model provides a short description of the image
Captioning (detailed-caption) - Model provides a long description of the image
Single-Label Classification (classification) - Model classifies the image content as one of the provided classes
Multi-Label Classification (multi-label-classification) - Model classifies the image content as one or more of the provided classes
Unprompted Object Detection (object-detection) - Model detects and returns the bounding boxes for prominent objects in the image
Structured Output Generation (structured-answering) - Model returns a JSON response with the specified fields

You need to provide your Google AI API key to use the Gemini model.

WARNING!

This block makes use of /v1beta API of Google Gemini model - the implementation may change in the future, without guarantee of backward compatibility.

Type identifier¶

Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/google_gemini@v2to add the block as as step in your workflow.

Properties¶

Name	Type	Description	Refs
`name`	`str`	Enter a unique identifier for this step..	❌
`task_type`	`str`	Task type to be performed by model. Value determines required parameters and output response..	❌
`prompt`	`str`	Text prompt to the Gemini model.	✅
`output_structure`	`Dict[str, str]`	Dictionary with structure of expected JSON response.	❌
`classes`	`List[str]`	List of classes to be used.	✅
`api_key`	`str`	Your Google AI API key.	✅
`model_version`	`str`	Model to be used.	✅
`thinking_level`	`str`	Controls the depth of internal reasoning for Gemini 3+ models. 'low' minimizes latency and cost (best for simple tasks), 'high' maximizes reasoning depth (default). Only supported by Gemini 3 and newer models..	✅
`temperature`	`float`	Temperature to sample from the model - value in range 0.0-2.0, the higher - the more random / "creative" the generations are..	✅
`max_tokens`	`int`	Maximum number of tokens the model can generate in it's response. If not specified, the model will use its default limit..	❌
`max_concurrent_requests`	`int`	Number of concurrent requests that can be executed by block when batch of input images provided. If not given - block defaults to value configured globally in Workflows Execution Engine. Please restrict if you hit Google Gemini API limits..	❌

The Refs column marks possibility to parametrise the property with dynamic values available in workflow runtime. See Bindings for more info.
