AISDK provides first-class support for Google with fully typed model APIs. Model capabilities are enforced at compile time using Rust's type system. This prevents model capability mismatches and guarantees the selected model is valid for the task (e.g. tool calling).

Installation

Enable the Google provider feature:

cargo add aisdk --features google

This installs AISDK with the Google provider enabled. Once you have enabled the Google provider, you can use all aisdk features with it.

Create a Provider Instance

To create a provider instance, call Google::model_name(), where model_name is the Google model you want to use. Model names are exposed as snake-case methods.

use aisdk::providers::Google;

let google = Google::gemini_2_5_flash();

This initializes the provider with:

Model: "gemini-2-5-flash"
API key from environment (if set with GOOGLE_API_KEY)
Google's default base URL (https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com)

Basic Text Generation

Example using LanguageModelRequest for text generation.

use aisdk::{
    core::LanguageModelRequest,
    providers::Google,
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {

    let google = Google::gemini_2_5_flash();

    let response = LanguageModelRequest::builder()
        .model(google)
        .prompt("Write a short poem about Rust.")
        .build()
        .generate_text()
        .await?;

    println!("Response text: {:?}", response.text());
    Ok(())
}

Provider Settings

You can customize provider configuration using Google::builder()

API Key

let google = Google::<Gemini25Flash>::builder()
    .api_key("your-api-key")
    .build()?;

If not specified, AISDK uses the GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable.

Base URL

Useful when routing through a proxy, gateway, or self-hosted compatible endpoint.

let google = Google::<Gemini25Flash>::builder()
    .base_url("https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com")
    .build()?;

Provider Name

For logging, analytics, and observability.

let google = Google::<Gemini25Flash>::builder()
    .provider_name("Google")
    .build()?;

Full Custom Configuration Example

let google = Google::<Gemini25Flash>::builder()
    .api_key("your-api-key")
    .base_url("https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com")
    .provider_name("Google")
    .build()?;

Dynamic Model Selection

For runtime model selection (e.g., loading models from config files), use DynamicModel:

Using model_name() Method with Default Settings

use aisdk::providers::Google;

// Specify model as a string at runtime
let google = Google::model_name("gemini-2-5-flash");

Using Builder Pattern with Custom Settings

use aisdk::{
    core::DynamicModel,
    providers::Google,
};

let google = Google::<DynamicModel>::builder()
    .model_name("gemini-2-5-flash")
    .api_key("your-api-key")
		.base_url("https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com")
    .build()?;

Warning: When using DynamicModel, model capabilities are not validated at compile time. This means there's no guarantee the model supports requested features (e.g., tool calls, structured output). For compile-time safety, use the typed methods like Google::gemini_2_5_flash().
