gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image is a lightweight multimodal model from Google’s Gemini 3.1 family, designed to handle both text and images with a strong focus on low latency and low cost. As a “flash lite” tier variant, it trades some peak reasoning depth and raw capability for faster responses and efficient scaling in high-traffic or resource-constrained environments, such as mobile, interactive apps, and real-time tools. It is intended for everyday multimodal tasks like understanding, describing, or lightly analyzing images alongside text prompts, rather than heavy-duty research or complex code-generation workloads.

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
model | string, required | This model's ID, exactly as shown above. |
messages | array, required | Conversation history as role/content objects (system, user, assistant). |
temperature | number, optional | Sampling randomness, typically 0–2. |
max_tokens | integer, optional | Upper limit on tokens generated in the reply. |
top_p | number, optional | Nucleus-sampling threshold, as an alternative to temperature. |
stream | boolean, ignored | Responses are always returned in full so the exact cost can be billed; streaming is not available. |
