Want to use an AI API? Here’s the difference:
OpenAI / DeepSeek:
1. Generate an API key
2. Install OpenAI client
3. Add your key
4. Make API calls
Google Gemini:
1. Learn IAM (roles, permissions, service accounts…)
2. Grant access
3. Download key file / authenticate via CLI
4. Figure out which region supports your model (because not all models are available everywhere)
5. Hope you picked the right setup—otherwise, try again!
I genuinely believe that if Google cared just 1% more about its users, the end impact would be enormous
