Model Family and Naming: Nano vs Pro
The "Nano" naming hints at speed and efficiency (compact footprint), while "Pro" signals balanced quality for production. In practice:
- Nano: optimized for latency and efficiency, suitable for on-device or responsive cloud flows.
- Pro: tuned for higher-quality text, stronger reasoning on everyday tasks, and better consistency.
- Image Preview: geared toward prompts referencing images or creating textual content around visual themes, with lightweight image input patterns (preview-scale) rather than heavy-duty vision workloads.
Within Wisdom Gate, gemini-3-pro-image-preview is positioned as the go-to for multimodal prompts and fast text generation. Think of it as a versatile workhorse: faster than heavy general-purpose LLMs, but capable enough for common production scenarios.
Core Capabilities
- Text Generation: draft emails, product descriptions, code comments, summaries, and structured replies.
- Image-Aware Prompts: reference an image (URL or base64, depending on provider support) to guide the text response.
- Dialog State: multi-turn chat via messages[], preserving context.
- Determinism/Creativity Controls: tune temperature/top_p (if available) to balance creativity and stability.
- Content Shaping: nudge style, tone, and format with concise system instructions.
- Lightweight Reasoning: everyday planning, outlining, and extractive tasks with strong latency characteristics.
Note: Exact parameter names and advanced features (e.g., streaming, JSON modes) depend on the Wisdom Gate API surface; examples below reflect common patterns used by chat-completion style endpoints.
Pricing and Cost Planning
Pricing is typically usage-based and may vary by region, plan, and provider updates. Because Wisdom Gate mediates access, confirm current pricing on your account dashboard.
Practical cost tips:
- Start with conservative temperature and response length to avoid unnecessary tokens.
- Cache template outputs and system prompts.
- Use short, specific instructions rather than long, verbose contexts.
- For image workflows, send preview-scale assets (or URLs) when possible.
- Batch non-urgent tasks during off-peak periods if rate limits or pricing tiers apply.
Budgeting approach:
- Estimate requests/day × average tokens/response.
- Add margin for retries and occasional longer prompts.
- Track token usage per endpoint to catch anomalies early.
Access Through Wisdom Gate: Base URL, Auth, and Endpoints
- Base URL: https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1
- Primary endpoint (chat): /chat/completions
- Auth: pass your API key via Authorization header
- Content-Type: application/json
Headers commonly used:
- Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY
- Content-Type: application/json
- Accept: /
- Host: wisdom-gate.juheapi.com
- Connection: keep-alive
Keep your API key safe. Store it in environment variables or a secret manager, never in client-side code.
Request and Response Structure
Requests are chat-style with a messages array. A minimal request:
- model: gemini-3-pro-image-preview
- messages: list of role/content pairs
Roles:
- system (optional): for global style, policy, and constraints
- user: the primary prompt or question
- assistant: prior model replies (for context in multi-turn)
Response commonly includes:
- id: request identifier
- choices: array of results; each has role/content
- usage: token accounting (if provided)
- error: present when a call fails
Multimodal: Sending Images
Since gemini-3-pro-image-preview emphasizes image-aware prompts, you have two typical patterns (confirm exact method in current docs):
- Image URL: include a content part referencing an image URL; the model uses it to guide text output.
- Base64: send a base64-encoded image string (often as a content part or separate field). Use preview-scale images to control payload sizes.
When using URLs, ensure they are publicly reachable or signed URLs. For base64, consider size limits and compress if needed.
Practical Examples
curl (text prompt)
The following mirrors the Wisdom Gate example for a quick text prompt:
curl --location --request POST 'https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1/chat/completions' \
--header 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: */*' \
--header 'Host: wisdom-gate.juheapi.com' \
--header 'Connection: keep-alive' \
--data-raw '{
"model":"gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Draw a stunning sea world."
}
]
}'
Tip: Replace content with a clear, concise instruction. If you want text-only output, specify the desired format (e.g., bullet points, a short poem, or steps).
Node.js (basic call)
Below is a minimal pattern. Adjust options to your app needs.
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
const API_KEY = process.env.WISDOM_GATE_KEY;
const BASE_URL = 'https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1';
async function run() {
const payload = {
model: 'gemini-3-pro-image-preview',
messages: [
{ role: 'user', content: 'Create a playful product description for a smart desk lamp.' }
]
};
const res = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/chat/completions`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
Authorization: API_KEY,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
Accept: '*/*',
Host: 'wisdom-gate.juheapi.com',
Connection: 'keep-alive'
},
body: JSON.stringify(payload)
});
if (!res.ok) {
const err = await res.text();
throw new Error(`HTTP ${res.status}: ${err}`);
}
const json = await res.json();
console.log(JSON.stringify(json, null, 2));
}
run().catch(console.error);
Python (basic call)
import os
import json
import requests
API_KEY = os.environ.get('WISDOM_GATE_KEY')
BASE_URL = 'https://wisdom-gate.juheapi.com/v1'
payload = {
'model': 'gemini-3-pro-image-preview',
'messages': [
{ 'role': 'user', 'content': 'Summarize the key benefits of ergonomic office chairs.' }
]
}
headers = {
'Authorization': API_KEY,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': '*/*',
'Host': 'wisdom-gate.juheapi.com',
'Connection': 'keep-alive'
}
resp = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/chat/completions", headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload))
resp.raise_for_status()
print(resp.json())
Image-aware prompt (pattern)
Check the latest Wisdom Gate docs for exact image fields. A common pattern is to send content parts referencing an image URL:
{
"model": "gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{ "type": "text", "text": "Describe the ambience of this living room in 3 lines." },
{ "type": "image_url", "url": "https://example.com/room.jpg" }
]
}
]
}
If base64 is preferred, use type: "image_base64" and include the data string. Keep payloads small to avoid timeouts.
Common Use Cases
- Customer Assistants: quick answers, concise summaries, action suggestions.
- E-commerce Content: product titles, descriptions, variant copy, and image-aware styling notes.
- Creative Brainstorming: taglines, ad concepts, micro-copy.
- UX Writing: tooltips, empty-state messages, onboarding steps.
- Educational Helpers: lesson outlines, quiz questions, and image-referenced explanations.
- Internal Tools: ticket triage notes, stand-up summaries, change log drafts.
For multimodal prompts, align the image reference to the text task (e.g., “Describe this photo’s mood,” “List design improvements visible in the mockup”).
Prompt Patterns that Work
- Goal-first instruction: begin with exactly what you want.
- Constraints: specify word count, tone, bullets vs. paragraphs.
- Examples: show a short input→output example to anchor style.
- Guards: forbid risky or irrelevant content.
- Iteration: ask for 3 options, then refine the best one.
Sample pattern:
- System: “You are a concise product copywriter. Always answer in 4 bullet points.”
- User: “Summarize the benefits of noise-canceling headphones for commuters.”
Production Guidance: Reliability, Rate Limits, and Monitoring
- Retries: use exponential backoff on network timeouts and 429s.
- Circuit Breakers: degrade gracefully by trimming context or switching to cached templates.
- Timeouts: set reasonable client timeouts per request.
- Observability: log prompt size, token usage, and latency; tag by feature.
- Prompt Hygiene: remove PII where possible; restrict user inputs to safe formats.
- Rate Limits: expect burst and sustained limits; plan queues for spikes.
- Caching: memoize frequent prompts; use ETag/If-None-Match if supported.
- Testing: record prompt-response pairs; regression test before model updates.
Security and Safety
- Secret Management: keep API keys in encrypted stores; rotate regularly.
- Content Filtering: define policies for disallowed outputs; add pre/post checks.
- Access Control: isolate internal endpoints; verify user permissions on sensitive features.
- Data Residency: confirm regional controls if required by compliance.
- Auditability: store metadata (timestamps, request ids) for investigations.
Migration Notes (from OpenAI/Gemini)
- Endpoint Style: /chat/completions is similar to popular chat endpoints; most clients can adapt quickly.
- Roles and Messages: align system/user/assistant semantics; trim long histories to reduce cost.
- Parameters: temperature, top_p, max tokens may differ—verify names and ranges.
- Multimodal: image URL vs. base64 wiring can vary; abstract it behind your client library.
- Error Handling: unify HTTP errors; standardize retry logic across providers.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
- My responses are verbose: reduce temperature, add word-count constraints, and trim context.
- I get timeouts: compress images, shorten prompts, and retry with backoff.
- Images aren’t recognized: verify URL reachability or base64 validity; check allowed MIME types.
- Inconsistent tone: set a system role with explicit style and format rules.
- Can I stream tokens?: If Wisdom Gate supports streaming, enable the stream flag; otherwise, fall back to standard responses.
- Are function calls available?: Use message patterns to request structured outputs. If a dedicated function-calling API exists, check current docs.
- What’s the model id?: gemini-3-pro-image-preview.
- Where do I start?: Use the curl example, then wire in your language of choice.
Quick Start Checklist
- Obtain API key from Wisdom Gate and store it securely.
