Trying to run the system_instruction example on this page and getting unexpected keyword argument error. New to Vertex AI , so not sure where to start.

https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/tree/main/vertexai/generative_models

model = generative_models.GenerativeModel(
“gemini-1.0-pro”,
system_instruction=[
“Talk like a pirate.”,
“Don’t use rude words.”,
],
)
print(model.generate_content(“Why is sky blue?”))

TypeError: _GenerativeModel.init() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘system_instruction’

Try to reinstall the sdk, run:

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-aiplatform

Which version of the sdk has this argument? I did the pip install upgrade as you suggested and I’m still running into this error.

@wooly I figured it out, you have to upgrade the generative AI package, not the SDK. This worked for me:

pip3.10 install --upgrade google.generativeai

This fixed the issue for me.

i had already run the following command:

pip3.10 install --upgrade google.generativeai

Not sure if both are required
