> Call Google Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Preview via Gemini API. Fast and efficient text generation.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Preview is Google's lightweight and efficient language model, available through Starrise AI via the native Gemini API. Optimized for low latency and cost efficiency, suitable for high-throughput applications.

## Key Capabilities

* **Native Gemini API** — Uses Google's native API format for full feature access
* **Fast inference** — Optimized for low-latency responses
* **Multi-turn conversation** — Complex conversations with system instructions
* **Cost-efficient** — Suitable for large-scale, high-concurrency applications

## Quick Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl "https://ai.alad.com/v1beta/models/gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview: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-3.1-flash-lite-preview: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"])
