01 / Plain-language context

How Gemini works.

Gemini is Google's family of models and media systems for text, images, audio, video, reasoning, and agentic workflows. Google's current catalog includes Gemini 3.7 Flash, cost-sensitive Flash-Lite options, Gemini 3.1 Pro in preview, image models, live voice models, and video-generation systems. Google now recommends the Interactions API as the default interface for new Gemini model and agent work.

The family is broad, so selection should begin with the input and output modalities the product actually needs. Verify model stability, supported tools, deprecation status, region availability, latency, and cost with a real evaluation rather than treating one Gemini label as a single capability.

Google updates aliases and model availability frequently. Use a stable model identifier where production predictability matters and check the official catalog before release.
