Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What's new in Genkit Go 1.0? Genkit Go 1.0 is the first stable, production-ready release of the Go SDK for Google's open-source GenAI framework. It provides a unified API across model providers including Google AI, Vertex AI, OpenAI, and Ollama, along with type-safe flows, tool calling, and easy deployment as HTTP endpoints. A new genkit init:ai-tools command also streamlines integration with AI coding tools like Gemini CLI and Firebase Studio. _Developers standardizing GenAI backends on Genkit can track SDK stability milestones like this via daily.dev._ ### How do I control cost and latency when using thinking-enabled Gemini models in Firebase AI Logic? Firebase AI Logic now supports a thinking configuration that lets developers define a thinking budget for generative models, helping manage cost and reduce latency. Developers can also enable thought summaries in the model's output to inspect the model's reasoning process, giving more control over AI feature behavior in mobile and web apps. _Teams tuning AI feature costs and latency can follow Firebase AI Logic changes on daily.dev._ ### Can I use the Gemini Live API for free in my app? Yes, Firebase AI Logic SDKs now support a no-cost option for the Gemini Live API through the Gemini Developer API, enabling conversational experiences in apps without incurring API charges through that tier. _Developers weighing AI feature pricing can keep tabs on Gemini API cost changes through daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Experimental hybrid inference and new Gemini models for Android](https://daily.dev/posts/experimental-hybrid-inference-and-new-gemini-models-for-android-cc5bn1znk) · Android Developers Blog · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Serverless AI for Android with Firebase AI Logic](https://daily.dev/posts/serverless-ai-for-android-with-firebase-ai-logic-33d7pefc4) · ProAndroidDev · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Using the new Google Gen AI SDK for Kotlin](https://daily.dev/posts/using-the-new-google-gen-ai-sdk-for-kotlin-tzotbujuu) · John O'Reilly · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#golang](https://daily.dev/tags/golang), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase), [#google-gemini](https://daily.dev/tags/google-gemini) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/a-roundup-of-firebase-news-from-brazil-f4jlp4w6k) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"A roundup of Firebase news from Brazil","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-roundup-of-firebase-news-from-brazil-f4jlp4w6k","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-roundup-of-firebase-news-from-brazil-f4jlp4w6k"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:19:22.245Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:37:27.672Z","description":"Google's Firebase team announced a batch of platform updates timed to Cloud Summit Brazil, covering AI Logic SDK improvements (thinking budget controls, Imagen...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/bfe0bed5c96910f5f6ae1b287a8fe85f?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/bfe0bed5c96910f5f6ae1b287a8fe85f?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-roundup-of-firebase-news-from-brazil-f4jlp4w6k","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"golang,firebase,google-gemini","timeRequired":"PT6M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"A roundup of Firebase news from Brazil"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-roundup-of-firebase-news-from-brazil-f4jlp4w6k#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What's new in Genkit Go 1.0?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Genkit Go 1.0 is the first stable, production-ready release of the Go SDK for Google's open-source GenAI framework.
