Get batch predictions for Gemini

Batch predictions let you send a large number of multimodal prompts in a single batch request.

For more information about the batch workflow and how to format your input data, see Get batch predictions for Gemini.

Supported Models:

Model	Version

Gemini 1.5 Pro	`gemini-1.5-pro-002` `gemini-1.5-pro-001`
Gemini 1.0 Pro	`gemini-1.0-pro-001` `gemini-1.0-pro-002`

Example syntax

The following syntax shows how to send a batch prediction API request using the curl command. This example is specific to BigQuery storage.

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  https://${LOCATION}-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/projects/${PROJECT_ID}/locations/${LOCATION}/batchPredictionJobs \
  -d '{
      "displayName": "...",
      "model": "publishers/google/models/${MODEL_ID}",
      "inputConfig": {
        "instancesFormat": "bigquery",
        "bigquerySource": {
          "inputUri" : "..."
        }
      },
      "outputConfig": {
        "predictionsFormat": "bigquery",
        "bigqueryDestination": {
          "outputUri": "..."
        }
      }
  }'

Parameters

See examples for implementation details.

Body request

Parameters
`displayName`	A name you choose for your job.
`model`	The model to use for batch prediction.
`inputConfig`	The data format. For Gemini batch prediction, Cloud Storage and BigQuery input sources are supported.
`outputConfig`	The output configuration which determines model output location. Cloud Storage and BigQuery output locations are supported.

`inputConfig`

Parameters
`instancesFormat`	The prompt input format. Use `jsonl` for Cloud Storage or `bigquery` for BigQuery.
`gcsSource.uris`	The input source URI. This is a Cloud Storage location of the JSONL file in the form `gs://bucketname/path/to/file.jsonl`.
`bigquerySource.inputUri`	The input source URI. This is a BigQuery table URI in the form `bq://project_id.dataset.table`. The region of the input BigQuery dataset must be the same as the Vertex AI batch prediction job.

`outputConfig`

Parameters
`predictionsFormat`	The output format of the prediction. Use `bigquery`.
`gcsDestination.outputUriPrefix`	The Cloud Storage bucket and directory location, in the form `gs://mybucket/path/to/output`.
`bigqueryDestination.outputUri`	The BigQuery URI of the target output table, in the form `bq://project_id.dataset.table`. If the table doesn't already exist, then it is created for you. The region of the output BigQuery dataset must be the same as the Vertex AI batch prediction job.

Examples
