Summary

  • Add thinkingConfig with LOW mode to all Gemini API requests for optimized performance
  • Add temperature parameter (1.5) to fun fact generation for more creative and varied responses
  • Refactor buildGeminiRequest to use circe Json API for type-safe JSON construction

Changes

  • buildGeminiRequest method: Enhanced to accept optional temperature parameter and always include thinkingConfig with LOW mode
  • generateFunFact method: Now passes temperature = 1.5 for more creative fun facts
  • summarize method: Uses default behavior (LOW thinking mode without temperature adjustment) for consistent summaries

Technical Details

  • Thinking Config: Uses LOW mode to reduce thinking tokens and improve response speed, suitable for summarization tasks
  • Temperature: Set to 1.5 for fun facts to increase creativity while staying reasonable (range 0.0-2.0)
  • Type Safety: Refactored to use circe's Json API instead of heterogeneous Maps for proper serialization

Test plan

  • Code compiles successfully
  • Code formatted with scalafmtAll
  • Manual testing of summary generation
  • Manual testing of fun fact generation with varied responses
