Hi @Devyanshi,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

The Gemini model does not typically provide a built-in feature for pausing or stopping streaming responses directly via its API. However, managing the streaming connection will depend on the specific API features and streaming setup.

Regarding your inquiry, to manage streaming data effectively, you would generally need to handle the streaming logic and configuration settings used when generating the prompt in your chatbot. This involves implementing mechanisms to control the data flow, such as managing connection states and utilizing parameters like stopSequences to influence the response generation. The stopSequences parameter allows you to specify certain sequences of tokens that, when encountered, will halt the further generation of text. This feature can be useful for stopping the output based on specific triggers or conditions, thereby providing more precise control over the streaming responses.

You can also visit Gemini API documentation for more information.

I hope the above information is helpful.
