Change an existing image with an instruction (add/remove/replace elements, restyle, relight, change aspect ratio, fix text) while keeping everything else. Accepts extra reference images to insert or match. Say what must stay unchanged. Saves a new file; the original is kept.

Change an existing clip with an instruction (add, remove or replace objects, restyle, relight, change the background) with Gemini Omni Flash, keeping everything else. Pass the jobId of a finished clip (Omni clips are edited in conversation) or a video file of at most 10 s. Asynchronous like generate_video; about $0.10 per second of video at 720p.

Estimate the cost of an image, video, speech or music request before running it, optionally comparing all models; also reports remaining budget and whether approval is needed.

Continue a completed clip from its end: omni adds up to 10 s (40 s total, keeping characters and audio coherent); Veo fast/standard add about 7 s (720p, up to 148 s, within 2 days). Asynchronous like generate_video.

Create images from a text prompt, optionally guided by up to 14 reference images (subjects, products, style). Default model nb2 (Nano Banana 2.1, $0.04 per 1K image); pro for the densest scenes and final renders ($0.15); nb2-lite for bulk drafts. Returns saved files with URIs you can pass to edit_image, generate_video (image) or other tools.

Compose music with Lyria: 30-second clips (clip, $0.04) or full songs of a few minutes with vocals and lyrics (full, $0.08). Control genre, mood, instruments, tempo and structure in the prompt; returns lyrics/structure text when available.

Turn text into natural speech (WAV) with one voice, or a dialogue between two speakers. Control delivery with style. About $0.01-0.02 per minute of audio. For podcasts, voiceovers, narration and dialogue.

Start a video clip with native audio from a text prompt, optionally from a first frame, first+last frames, or reference images. Default omni (Gemini Omni Flash: 3-10s, cheap 360p drafts up to 4K, up to 10 references). On Vertex AI the default is Veo lite; fast/standard add Veo 4K and ingredients. Veo is leaving the Gemini API (list_models has the date). estimate_cost prices any option. Asynchronous: returns a jobId; then call get_video.

Show the active backend and how it was chosen, output directory, default models, budgets, input-file policy and configuration warnings. Use it to troubleshoot credentials or missing files.

Report estimated spend for this session, today, this month or all time, broken down by model and tool, with budget remaining, recent calls and running video jobs.

Check a video job and wait for it (default up to 45s). When the job completes, the video is downloaded and returned; calling again is safe and returns the same files.

List current models per media type with aliases, status (GA/preview/deprecated), prices and a short guide to when to use each. detail: true adds supported aspect ratios, sizes, durations and voices; live: true checks what your API key can actually call.

Upscale step 3: align each edited tile from tile_image with the image, match its broad color, blend the overlaps and save one large PNG (default 8192 px long edge). Free and local. Reports tiles it rejected (their area keeps the prior pixels) and returns a preview plus 100% crops of the seams to inspect.

Upscale step 1: cut an image into crops shaped to the edit model's aspect ratios. longEdge sets the target (1K-16K, default 8K); with grid and imageSize omitted it picks the cheapest plan that covers it (one tile up to about 4K, a 2x2-4x4 grid beyond). regions re-render faces or text in a later pass. Free and local; reports the edit cost. Step 2: edit_image each crop as the result says. Step 3: stitch_tiles. Detail is invented, not recovered.
