Take into consideration such factors as network dependency, the size of the model you want to use, cost, and privacy when choosing your approach. </p> <p> This solution focuses on using the Google AI client SDK for Android to remotely access the <a href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs" data-label="path: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs" data-category="devsite-playlist: content link" class="gc-analytics-event" >Google AI Gemini API</a > for generative AI. This approach features the following: </p> <ul> <li> Is network-dependent and sends data to the cloud for processing access. </li> <li> Provides native Kotlin and Java SDK and does not require working directly with REST APIs or custom server-side integrations. </li> <li> Runs on Google's servers, providing access to larger and more performant models without any device or hardware dependencies. </li> <li> Easy access to the latest improvements in Google's automatically updated models. </li> </ul> <p> Getting started with the Google AI client SDK for Android requires setting up a project in Google AI Studio to obtain an API key for the Gemini API. Next, add the required dependencies to your app's build configuration, initialize the model that best fits your use case and submit a prompt to generate output. </p> <p> If you want to use the alternative on-device approach, see the next step which covers <a href="https://developer.android.com/ai/gemini-nano/" data-label="path: https://developer.android.com/ai/gemini-nano/" data-category="devsite-playlist: content link" class="gc-analytics-event" >Gemini Nano using the Google AI Edge SDK</a >. </p> <p> <b>The Google AI client SDK for Android is only for <i>prototyping</i>.</b> For use cases beyond prototyping (especially production and enterprise-scale apps), <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/vertex-ai/migrate-to-vertex-ai?platform=android" data-label="path: https://firebase.google.com/docs/vertex-ai/migrate-to-vertex-ai?platform=android" data-category="devsite-playlist: content link" class="gc-analytics-event" >migrate to Vertex AI in Firebase</a > to call the Gemini API directly from your client app. Alternatively, you can access the Gemini models server-side through <a href="https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/overview" data-label="path: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/overview" data-category="devsite-playlist: content link" class="gc-analytics-event" >Vertex AI</a >. </p> <p> If you use Android Studio, you can quickly get started with the Gemini API template that's described in more detail in a later step. </p> </p> </div> <div class="devsite-playlist--item--actions"> <a href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/quickstart" target="_blank" class="button button-primary button-returnto playlist-article gc-analytics-event" data-category="devsite-playlist: read article button" data-label="path: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/quickstart"> Read article </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="devsite-playlist--section" type="article" id="article-https://developer.android.com/ai/gemini-nano/experimental" path="https://developer.android.com/ai/gemini-nano/experimental" > <div class="devsite-playlist--inner"> <div class="devsite-playlist--item-top"> <div class="devsite-playlist--item-top-index"> <span class="num"></span> <i class="material-icons" aria-hidden="true">check_circle</i> <devsite-spinner size="30" single-color="#aecbfa"></devsite-spinner> </div> <div class="devsite-playlist--item-top-title"> <h2> Access Gemini Nano on-device with the Google AI Edge SDK (experimental) </h2> </div> <div class="devsite-playlist--item-top-controls"> <button class="toggle gc-analytics-event" data-category="devsite-playlist: toggle button"> <i class="material-icons arrow--down" aria-label="Show more details.">keyboard_arrow_down</i> <i class="material-icons arrow--up" aria-label="Show fewer details.">keyboard_arrow_up</i> </button> </div> </div> <div class="devsite-playlist--item--meta"> <i class="material-icons" aria-hidden="true">subject</i> Article </div> <div class="devsite-playlist--item--content"> <p> <p> The alternative approach to using the Google AI client SDK to access the Gemini API is using an on-device AI model such as <a href="https://developer.android.com/ai/gemini-nano" data-label="path:https://developer.android.com/ai/gemini-nano" data-category="devsite-playlist: content link" class="gc-analytics-event" >Gemini Nano powered by Android AICore through the Google AI Edge SDK for Android</a >. </p> <p> Instead of calling a remote service that provides access to a generative AI model, the prompts are processed by a model that is stored on the device itself.
