Google Cloud has made Grounding with Google Search available in the Google AI Studio and in the Gemini API. The new feature enables developers to get more accurate and fresh responses from Gemini generative AI models, the company said.
In addition to more accurate responses, the model returns links to the grounding sources and search suggestions that point users to search results that correspond to the grounded responses.
Grounding with Google Search is supported for all generally available versions of Gemini 1.5 models, Google Cloud said. It can be accessed in Google AI Studio under the “Tools” section or in the Gemini API by enabling the google_search_retrieval tool. Users can test grounding for free in Google AI Studio. With the API, developers can access the tool with the paid tier of $35 per 1,000 grounded queries.
