Halo and Google Gemini
Bring your own Gemini API key and route Gemini requests through Halo’s model gateway.
How Halo works with Google Gemini
Google Gemini is a supported BYOK provider. Halo routes Gemini model requests through the model gateway, where identity, policy, budgets, and evidence apply in the same way they do for OpenAI and Anthropic.
Connect a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio. Routes cover Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite, and other Gemini model IDs you supply route through the same path. The key stays bound at the gateway, and agents receive scoped capabilities.

Brokered credentials
Keep the Gemini API key at the gateway boundary so agents never see the raw key.
