Which Gemini model to use
Near-flagship coding at Flash speed, and large volumes of video, audio and PDFs.
Questions across video, audio, images and long PDFs at once, and abstract reasoning and science problems.
Calling the Gemini API from Sri Lanka
The Roar AI gateway speaks the OpenAI API format. Point the OpenAI SDK at Roar AI and name a Gemini model; moving to another provider’s model later is a change to the model name.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.roar-ai.com/v1", api_key="roar_live_…")
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gemini-3.8-flash",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this contract in plain English."}],
)Where Gemini requests are processed
Gemini models are processed on international infrastructure, outside Sri Lanka. None of them is hosted locally.
If a workload’s data has to stay in the country, Qwen3.8-27B (Colombo) runs on our own server in Colombo.
Questions
Can I use the Gemini API from Sri Lanka?
Yes. Every Gemini model listed on this page is available from Sri Lanka through Roar AI’s API, on the same key as every other model on the platform.
Can I pay for the Gemini API in Sri Lankan rupees?
Yes. Gemini usage is billed to one monthly invoice in LKR, together with any other models your team uses.
Do I need a separate account with Google?
No. One Roar AI key reaches every Gemini model listed here, so there is no separate Google account or foreign card to set up.
Is the Gemini API hosted in Sri Lanka?
No. Gemini models are processed outside Sri Lanka. Roar AI’s locally hosted model, Qwen3.8-27B (Colombo), is a separate model and is labelled as such.
