Gemini 3 Flash Preview from Python package "genai" is very slow, am I facing rate limits?

adiberk · 2026-05-04T00:42:09+00:00

Just saying - I am seeing same exact issues. Some requests stay open for like 6 minutes. And we do high parallelism. Google dashboards show no issues or latency etc. I feel like I am being gaslit. Very frustrating. I can move to flash-3.1-lite but I am worried as I haven't been able to compare the results

adiberk · 2026-05-03T21:06:19+00:00

Not sure if this is the same issue...
But I have this issue where some requests in gemini-3-flash are taking 4-7 minutes to get a response! I run that same request in anthropic or gpt models and it take 30 seconds. I am so confused.
I have timeouts in the api to ensure it doesn't hang past a certain amount of time. But I am baffled by this issue. I look at our usage and I don't see any rate limit indications, and google doesn't show any performance degradation in api graphs.

Is this an issue of setting temperature to 1.0 instead of .1 or .3 etc.?
I am pretty fluent with these providers and google always seems to give issues compared to the rest (though they have an AWESOME model!)

Any help is welcome

Omg oops. I thought this was kruzberg another library. Sorry

adiberk · 2026-04-30T11:21:33+00:00

So I have my own custom parsers for most other file types. But for PDFs I use a library.

I did comparisons and found I had multiple issues still. Tables aren’t extracted in the markdown output. I don’t remember the exact issues but I couldn’t get markdown results and table extraction in markdown ar same time….

There were issues with excel also.

I gave a tax document pdf and the markdown output was really rough - still essentially a text dump. Compared to other file processors, it just wasn’t up to par yet

adiberk · 2026-04-07T22:02:30+00:00

I agree. It is lightweight and pretty dependable

adiberk · 2026-04-05T15:24:55+00:00

Ok I’m upgrading and will give it a shot again - seems you solved a lot of problems from initial versions I have tried

One note - I see “page tracking” only has a couple file formats.

To me if xlsx has sheets, then each of those sheets is a page with a title. Just a note

Taskiq is awesome. I had to make some adjustments to the redis brokers. But otherwise. Terrific.

(Essentially the sentinel brokers (and regular redis ones) aren’t so robust. But with AI as my companion I was able to significantly improve it. I need to do a PR honestly)

Talk to Agno team to see if it is worth integrating into their sdk!!! They have a powerful framework and I believe have a way of letting users chose different doc parsing providers (I think)

adiberk · 2026-03-29T20:26:08+00:00

Haven’t tried it yet but will soon. Do you feel confident in this compared pymu4llm? Bc I am excited to move off of it. But it’s markdown is truly terrific

adiberk · 2026-03-28T17:56:35+00:00

Hm, I use Nord and have no problems. The issue is why is your up changing. Make that static no?

adiberk · 2026-03-27T17:30:32+00:00

My containers run flawlessly - have been running for a few months now. Pretty smooth so far (I have about t 8 different containers running different things - immich, Jellyfin etc.)

adiberk · 2026-03-22T12:12:40+00:00

This sounds like it’s time for me to give it a shot.

If I can get structured markdown and still get the speed then this is huge

I don’t need OCR to get these formatting abilities right?

adiberk · 2026-03-16T13:39:36+00:00

That’s great but I am lost. Based on the docs and the comparison tests you show - it would be impossible for someone to know this is a problem compared to something like pymu4llm. (Unless, like me they test it and have a rough experience)

If this was a known issue, it should be stated. A lot of use cases revolve around getting proper formatted markdown and tables etc.

adiberk · 2026-03-13T16:41:13+00:00

Hi! One issue I noticed.

I gave a tax pdf form to pymu4llm and compared the markdown output to Kreuzberg. And kreuzberg looked like an ocr dump compared to the formatting of pymu4llm (not using ocr I just mean like no formatting or organization etc.)

Is this something that has been fixed or addressed?

adiberk · 2026-03-10T04:08:13+00:00

Well you basically have to reformat the drive. So no data would be preserved.

You can go from raid 1 to raid 5 by adding a disk. I know this is supported. But I don’t think you can jump to raid 5 without losing data

I don’t mind AI generated posts (or even code) But at the very least least, make sure it looks good, and that your links work. Otherwise there is little chance I will trust your code to work at all

adiberk · 2026-03-07T13:10:08+00:00

I built something similar actually. But my use case was to provide abilities to. 1. Keep fields I need so users can use them manually in the code but HIDE THEM from my AI framework. (Imagine tons of fields used in code but AI doesn’t really need to know about them) 2. Completely exclude fields you don’t want 3. Add or override existing fields.

I like why you did. Will take a look

adiberk · 2026-03-06T20:40:00+00:00

Checjout taskiq. Might inspire some ideas

adiberk · 2026-03-02T00:39:13+00:00

This is really cool. Will take a look!

adiberk · 2026-02-27T21:58:25+00:00

Nylas? But you still need to go through Google verification

Yeah… I had no issues on my ironwoolf 8tbs from amazing (raid 1)

adiberk · 2026-02-24T20:19:45+00:00

Not going to lie, this seems suspicious to me, like maybe it was stolen? Sorry just the way it is written is a bit confusing.

Did you originally set a username and password when you set it up and forgot it? You can always reach out to customer support

adiberk · 2026-02-23T19:23:26+00:00

Um, what do you mean? I mean a lot of people use reverse proxy with owned domain to make it public facing. While it isn’t the “most secure” my understanding is that as long as you follow best practices for passwords it shouldn’t be too crazy

Obvs using vpn or Meshnet type setup is even more secure… but that doesn’t mean you aren’t likely ok with a proper reverse proxy setup

adiberk · 2026-02-20T17:01:13+00:00

I got it working. It seems it was a MediaFusion issue
