model command (e.g., model pro)Yes, your API key is stored locally on your machine in ~/.synthara/config.json and is never shared with external services. The application only uses your key to make requests to the Google Gemini API.
We recommend starting with the flash model (Gemini-1.5-flash) as it provides a good balance of speed and quality. If you need more detailed or nuanced responses, try the pro model (Gemini-1.5-pro). The preview model (Gemini-2.5-pro-preview) is experimental and may provide the most advanced capabilities but could be slower.
No, Synthara Education Times CLI requires an internet connection to communicate with the Google Gemini API. All processing happens on Google's servers, not locally on your machine.
Usage limits depend on your Google Gemini API plan. The free tier has certain limits on the number of requests you can make per minute and per day. Check the Google AI pricing page for the most up-to-date information on usage limits.
