+## Specifying Safety Settings 
+In certain use-cases you may need to make calls to the models and pass [safety settigns](https://ai.google.dev/docs/safety_setting_gemini) different from the defaults. To do so, simple pass the `safety_settings` argument to `completion` or `acompletion`. For example:
+
+```python
+response = completion(
+    model="gemini/gemini-pro", 
+    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "write code for saying hi from LiteLLM"}]
+    safety_settings=[
+        {
+            "category": "HARM_CATEGORY_HARASSMENT",
+            "threshold": "BLOCK_NONE",
+        },
+        {
+            "category": "HARM_CATEGORY_HATE_SPEECH",
+            "threshold": "BLOCK_NONE",
+        },
+        {
+            "category": "HARM_CATEGORY_SEXUALLY_EXPLICIT",
+            "threshold": "BLOCK_NONE",
+        },
+        {
+            "category": "HARM_CATEGORY_DANGEROUS_CONTENT",
+            "threshold": "BLOCK_NONE",
+        },
+    ]
+)
