Faster Gemini runs with direct GCS and URL file inputs

Gemini now accepts gs:// URIs and HTTPS URLs (including presigned URLs) directly, eliminating the need to download files before processing. This reduces operational overhead and speeds up multimodal workflows, especially for large assets.

Details

Pass GCS and external HTTPS sources without intermediate storage
Reduces data handling, infra footprint, and latency
Opt-in; no changes required to existing flows

Who this is for: Teams on GCP and security-conscious organizations that prefer presigned URLs and minimal data movement.
