    ChatMessage(role="assistant", content="Yarr what is shakin' matey?"),
    ChatMessage(
        role="user", content="Help me decide what to have for dinner."

llm = GoogleGenAI(model="gemini-3-flash-preview")
resp = llm.chat(messages)
print(resp)

Streaming Responses

To stream content responses in real-time:

from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI

llm = GoogleGenAI(model="gemini-3-flash-preview")
resp = llm.stream_complete(
    "The story of Sourcrust, the bread creature, is really interesting. It all started when..."
)
for r in resp:
    print(r.text, end="")

To stream chat responses:

from llama_index.core.llms import ChatMessage
from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI

llm = GoogleGenAI(model="gemini-3-flash-preview")
messages = [
    ChatMessage(role="user", content="Hello friend!"),
    ChatMessage(role="assistant", content="Yarr what is shakin' matey?"),
    ChatMessage(
        role="user", content="Help me decide what to have for dinner."
    ),

resp = llm.stream_chat(messages)

Specific Model Usage

To use a specific model, you can configure it like this:

from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI

llm = GoogleGenAI(model="gemini-3-flash-preview")
resp = llm.complete("Write a short, but joyous, ode to LlamaIndex")
print(resp)
