GitHub - google/generative-ai-go: Go SDK for Google Generative AI · GitHub
With Gemini 2.0, we took the chance to create a single unified SDK for all developers who want to use Google's GenAI models (Gemini, Veo, Imagen, etc). As part of that process, we took all of the feedback from this SDK and what developers like about other SDKs in the ecosystem to create the Google Gen AI SDK.

How to Reuse Generative AI Client in Go?
Personally I would say the general rule of thumb is that a client SHOULD be able to be used freely from multiple goroutines without a problem, unless there's some good reason that's not possible. However, I would personally also go with a client MUST document whether or not that is legal, because in general, Go code that doesn't document what is legal should be assumed to be unsafe to use from multiple goroutines without locking. Just as a Go library should assume that a caller will add concurrency if they want it, a Go library should generally assume the user will add concurrency-safety if they want it, unless there's a reasonably good reason to assume the library should handle it itself (e.g., a library whose entire reason is concurrency-based like sync.Map). The page you link to is too much documentation for me to paw through to see if they do document it, but if they don't the only option is to figure it out yourself, unfortunately. Since that's probably an autogenerated client it could go either way. You could even end up in the unfortunate situation where it happens to be safe today but it's just coincidence and a future update could become unsafe because it's not technically "supported".

What's the point of generative AI?
Some people like it, it's clear that you don't. Some people like mustard, I hate it. I understand that other people like what i don't, and i don't get bothered by it. It's okay. More on reddit.com
What’s the best Gennerative AI course for beginners, you’ve actually found useful
check Google Cloud’s Generative AI Learning Path. It’s free and for people in tech who want to start using GenAI at work. Another good one is Andrew Ng’s AI for Everyone on Coursera. It breaks things down simply and talks about how to apply AI in business. Then try playing around with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini in small work projects. Also, check out Cloud Strategy Labs for more tips on learning GenAI, tech careers, and how to make AI work in your job. More on reddit.com

I haven't worked with this particular library/client but generally speaking for an http server you either have a one client/pull of clients being used across the whole app or you have a separate client for each request/session (in case of web-sockets for example). So no, unless the library specifically asks for it, you don't need to create a separate client in each function. As to whether you need a client for each request or a client for the whole app is up to business requirements you have at hand really.
