This page covers all LangChain integrations with Google Gemini, Google Cloud, and other Google products (such as Google Maps, YouTube, and more).
Unified SDK & Package ConsolidationAs of langchain-google-genai 4.0.0, this package uses the consolidated google-genai SDK and now supports both the Gemini Developer API and Vertex AI backends.The langchain-google-vertexai package remains supported for Vertex AI platform-specific features (Model Garden, Vector Search, evaluation services, etc.).Read the full announcement and migration guide.
Not sure which package to use?
Access Google Gemini models via the Gemini Developer API or Vertex AI. The backend is selected automatically based on your configuration.
  • Gemini Developer API: Quick setup with API key, ideal for individual developers and rapid prototyping
  • Vertex AI: Enterprise features with Google Cloud integration (requires GCP project)
Use the langchain-google-genai package for chat models, LLMs, and embeddings.See integrations.
Access Vertex AI platform-specific services beyond Gemini models: Model Garden (Llama, Mistral, Anthropic), evaluation services, and specialized vision models.Use the langchain-google-vertexai package for platform services and specific packages (e.g., langchain-google-community, langchain-google-cloud-sql-pg) for other cloud services like databases and storage.See integrations.
See Google’s guide on migrating from the Gemini API to Vertex AI for more details on the differences.
Integration packages for Gemini models and the Vertex AI platform are maintained in the langchain-google repository.You can find a host of LangChain integrations with other Google APIs and services in the langchain-google-community package (listed on this page) and the googleapis GitHub organization.

​
