Where to start

Evaluate a complete task rather than a short conversational probe. Keep tool adapters, source documents, output requirements and failure handling identical across candidates.

• Autonomous agents
• Enterprise workflows

What to check before deployment

The provider announcement describes intended uses, not an independent result in your application. Check accepted inputs, thinking controls and current pricing on the selected Gemini endpoint.

Confirm the exact model ID, checkpoint revision and endpoint in your test record. A base model name does not establish a provider's quantization, accepted inputs, context limit or current availability.

Measure useful results

Build a small evaluation from the workflow you already run. Define the expected answer before testing. Track correct results, formatting errors, retries, complete request time and reported input and output usage.

Count rejected answers and manual corrections. A low token rate can still produce a high cost per accepted result when the workflow needs retries or repair.
