# Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite

> Call Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite via Gemini API. Lightweight and efficient text generation.

Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite is the lightest and most efficient language model in Google's 2.5 series, available through Starrise AI via the native Gemini API. Ideal for large-scale scenarios that are sensitive to response speed and cost.

## Key Capabilities

* **Native Gemini API** — Uses Google's native API format for full feature access
* **Ultra-efficient** — Lowest latency and lowest cost in the Gemini 2.5 series
* **Multi-turn conversation** — Conversations with system instructions
* **High throughput** — Suitable for large-scale, cost-sensitive workloads

## Quick Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl "https://ai.alad.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash-lite:generateContent?key=YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "contents": [
        {
          "role": "user",
          "parts": [{ "text": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms." }]
        }
      ],
      "generationConfig": {
        "temperature": 1,
        "topP": 1
      }
    }'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  url = "https://ai.alad.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.5-flash-lite:generateContent"
  params = {"key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}
  data = {
      "contents": [
          {
              "role": "user",
              "parts": [{"text": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms."}]
          }
      ],
      "generationConfig": {
          "temperature": 1,
          "topP": 1
      }
  }

  response = requests.post(url, params=params, json=data)
  result = response.json()
  print(result["candidates"][0]["content"]["parts"][0]["text"])
  ```
