) -> vertexai.language_models.MultiCandidateTextGenerationResponse

Sends message to the language model and gets a response.

Parameter
Name	Description
message	str Message to send to the model

send_message_async(
    message: str,
    *,
    max_output_tokens: typing.Optional[int] = None,

            vertexai.language_models._language_models.InlineContext,
        ]
    ] = None
) -> vertexai.language_models.MultiCandidateTextGenerationResponse

Asynchronously sends message to the language model and gets a response.
