# Gemini Format Converter

> Use OpenAI and Anthropic models with Gemini SDK

## Overview

The Gemini Format Converter allows you to call **OpenAI** and **Anthropic** models using the Gemini SDK and API format. This is useful when you have existing code using the Gemini SDK but want to access other providers' models.

## Configuration

### SDK Configuration

Set your base URL to:

```
https://api.pipellm.ai/gemini
```

<Note>
  The SDK automatically appends the model path, so you only need to set the base
  URL to `/gemini`.
</Note>

### cURL / Direct API

For direct API calls, use the full endpoint:

```
https://api.pipellm.ai/gemini/v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent
https://api.pipellm.ai/gemini/v1beta/models/{model}:streamGenerateContent
```

## Usage Examples

        api_key="your-pipellm-api-key",
        transport="rest",
        client_options={"api_endpoint": "api.pipellm.ai/gemini"}
    )

    # Use OpenAI or Anthropic models
    model = genai.GenerativeModel("gpt-4o")  # or "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"

    response = model.generate_content("Hello, how are you?")
    print(response.text)
