# Quick Rundown on Gemini

## Access

MakerSuite: https://aistudio.google.com/app/prompts/new_chat

## API

Official Docs: https://ai.google.dev/api/generate-content

TL;DR

- system prompt that's literally just a string in the beginning of the context like with Claude
- no prefills
- pozzed

If you're using Custom (OpenAI) instead of direct Google MakerSuite configuration:

![API connections, then Additional Parameters](https://files.catbox.moe/vf5cbu.PNG)

![Include the text under "Include Body Params"](https://files.catbox.moe/ghksp0.PNG)

For convenience:

```yaml
safetySettings:
  - category: 'HARM_CATEGORY_HARASSMENT'
    threshold: 'BLOCK_NONE'
  - category: 'HARM_CATEGORY_HATE_SPEECH'
    threshold: 'BLOCK_NONE'
  - category: 'HARM_CATEGORY_SEXUALLY_EXPLICIT'
    threshold: 'BLOCK_NONE'
  - category: 'HARM_CATEGORY_DANGEROUS_CONTENT'
    threshold: 'BLOCK_NONE'
```

Shoutout to Moxxie for spoonfeeding me this.

## Presets

- [twin-tail](https://rentry.org/chuunijb)
- ![discord jb](https://files.catbox.moe/ckt8v0.png){16:16} [fillyjb](https://files.catbox.moe/rbdxy6.json)

## Recommendations

- Install this regex (strips Character: from the beginning of responses): https://files.catbox.moe/fqqac0.json 
- Add \nUser: to your custom stop sequences (A letter menu, "Custom Stopping Strings", fill it in with \["\n{{user}}:", "\nHuman:", "\nUser:"\], check "Replace Macro in Custom Stopping Strings") (not a particularly common issue but might as well yk?)

## General Issues with the Model

- Dumber and less soulful than Opus
- Pozzed
- No prefills
- No PHIs
- Dislikes being crass
- Doesn't really follow response length instructions
- Dogshit at NSFW (decent at continuing NSFW already started on a different model) (apparently better if you really poison the context, will test out dropping entire eroge sequences in a toggle next week and report back)

## Advantages over Opus

- Pretty consistently follows the greeting length in its responses
- Obeys instructions better
- Banter

## Adapting your Opus preset to Gemini

- strip down the "no acting for {{user}}" tech to just the simple "do not act for {{user}}" instruction (honestly if you're using pixi just give up right now and use one of the prebaked presets from earlier)
- check what stuff you're only reinforcing in your prefill and put it in the sysprompt somewhere
- in particular, you cannot rely on a prefill to undo shit the greeting does. Just give up on that idea right now. Gemini WILL write like the greeting
