    Gemini guidance emphasizes clear instructions, multimodal prompting, function calling, structured output, thinking features, long context, and safety settings. Stable guidance: use task-specific instructions and schema-like output contracts. Model-specific guidance: model lists, media limits, and thinking behavior change over time.
