Vertex Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite API parameters

These are the API parameters modelparams.dev tracks for Vertex Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite on Vertex generate content with an API key — the settings you send in a request. Each row gives the type, default, valid range or values, and the conditions that gate it. It's the same data the JSON API serves.

This model is deprecated. Shutdown date: 2026-10-20. Suggested replacement: vertex/gemini-3.1-flash-lite.

After the parameter count instead — how many weights Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite has? That's a different number, and we don't track it. Here's the difference.

Length 3 params
Parameter Type Default Description Condition
Max output tokens
generationConfig.maxOutputTokens 		integer (1…65536) — Maximum number of tokens to include in a response candidate. —
Candidate count
generationConfig.candidateCount 		integer (1…8) — How many independent completions to generate for one request. —
Stop sequences
generationConfig.stopSequences 		string — A list of strings where the model stops generating further tokens. —
Sampling 6 params
Parameter Type Default Description Condition
Temperature
generationConfig.temperature 		number (0…2 step 0.1) 1 Controls randomness. Lower values make outputs more focused; higher values make them more varied. —
Top P
generationConfig.topP 		number (0…1 step 0.01) 0.95 Controls nucleus sampling by limiting generation to tokens within the selected cumulative probability. —
Top K
generationConfig.topK 		integer (1…+∞) 64 Limits token sampling to the top K most likely next tokens. —
Seed
generationConfig.seed 		integer — Optional seed used for decoding when reproducible sampling is desired. —
Presence penalty
generationConfig.presencePenalty 		number (-2…1) — Penalises tokens that already appeared, pushing the model toward new topics. —
Frequency penalty
generationConfig.frequencyPenalty 		number (-2…1) — Penalises tokens in proportion to how often they have already appeared. —
Output 1 param
Parameter Type Default Description Condition
Response MIME type
generationConfig.responseMimeType 		enum (text/plain | application/json) "text/plain" MIME type for generated text candidates. —

How to use

modelparams.dev is an open, community-maintained catalog of model parameters. Each entry shows the knobs you can turn — type, default, range, and the conditions that gate it.

The same model accessed via an API key and via a subscription usually exposes a different set of parameters. We list both as separate entries so the data stays honest.

Catalog API

The full catalog is static JSON, CORS-enabled, served from the edge.

curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/models.json

Each entry is keyed by provider/model for API-key variants; subscription variants append -subscription.

If you only need the params for one model contract, use the providerless endpoint. Subscription contracts are model slugs with -subscription. 

curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/models/openai/gpt-5.5.json
curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/models/openai/gpt-5.5-subscription.json

Single model

curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/models/anthropic/claude-opus-4-7.json
curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/models/anthropic/claude-opus-4-7-subscription.json

JSON Schema

Every entry validates against a JSON Schema you can use in your editor or pipeline. 

curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/schema.json

Add this header to any YAML you author for autocomplete in VS Code: 

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/schema.json

Logos

Provider logos are available at /assets/logos/{provider}.svg where {provider} is the provider slug. They use currentColor so they inherit your text color. 

curl https://modelparams.dev/assets/logos/anthropic.svg

Logos are sourced from the models.dev repo (MIT) and used under nominative fair use.

Contribute

The data lives in YAML under models/{provider}/{model}-{auth}.yaml in the GitHub repo. Open a PR; CI validates against the schema and rebuilds.
