📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughGemini now supports native embeddings, Imagen generation, Gemini image generation, and Gemini image edits. Model discovery includes Imagen models and image capabilities. Vertex delegates image operations to Gemini. Documentation covers routing, parameters, responses, costs, and limitations. ChangesGemini native media support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change expands Gemini native support for embeddings and image generation/editing, but the current head can return a result count different from the requested embedding inputs and can advertise unsupported Imagen model IDs; it also has smaller parameter, metadata, and documentation inconsistencies. These are bounded but concrete merge-readiness issues, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Confidence Score: 4/5The change should not merge until Gemini preserves access to supported Imagen models when the upstream inventory is explicitly empty. The reproduced registry-resolution failure prevents a supported image-generation model from being used in a valid upstream response state. Files Needing Attention: internal/providers/gemini/gemini.go

Inline comments:
In `@docs/advanced/images-api.mdx`:
- Around line 19-24: Update the generic image-API parameter statement to exclude
native Gemini from the claim that n and size pass through unchanged, limiting it
to OpenAI-compatible providers or linking to the Gemini provider notes for its
sampleCount and aspect-ratio mappings. Keep the documentation concise and
user-focused.
In `@docs/providers/vertex.mdx`:
- Around line 75-78: Update the Vertex image-endpoints documentation sentence to
start with “In native mode” and clearly state that native mode uses publisher
endpoints, while describing the separate routing behavior for openai_compatible
mode consistently with the image-input table.
In `@internal/providers/gemini/embeddings.go`:
- Line 18: Move OutputDimensionality from the EmbedContentRequest structure into
embedContentConfig, and set it for every batch item when constructing requests.
Update TestNativeEmbeddings_BatchEmbedContents to verify the new configuration
location and behavior.
- Around line 78-88: The Gemini embedding response handling must validate that
resp.Embeddings has exactly the same count as inputs before the encoding loop.
In the relevant embedding method, return a provider error for both short and
surplus responses, then preserve the existing encoding and append behavior for
matching counts; add coverage for both mismatch cases.
In `@internal/providers/gemini/gemini.go`:
- Around line 716-719: Update the no-methods branch of the model classification
logic to exclude names prefixed with gemini-embedding- from the chat result and
classify them as embeddings, while preserving existing text-embedding- handling.
Add a test covering gemini-embedding-001 when supportedGenerationMethods is
absent.
- Around line 771-776: Update knownImagenModels and appendKnownImagenModels so
unsupported Imagen IDs are no longer seeded into AI Studio model listings;
remove the inactive entries or replace them only with currently supported
image-generation IDs, while preserving discovery of valid upstream models.
In `@internal/providers/gemini/images.go`:
- Around line 185-197: Update imagePredictParameters so sampleCount follows the
same caller-precedence rule as aspectRatio: only set req.ImageCount() when
parameters does not already contain sampleCount, preserving native
client-provided values while retaining the existing default for absent keys.

🌐 Web query:
In the current Gemini REST API documentation for models.batchEmbedContents, is EmbedContentRequest.outputDimensionality deprecated in favor of embedContentConfig.outputDimensionality?
💡 Result:
Yes, in the Gemini API, the outputDimensionality field within EmbedContentRequest has been deprecated in favor of using the outputDimensionality field within the embedContentConfig object [1][2][3]. Official documentation explicitly marks the former as deprecated and instructs developers to use the latter instead [1][2]. This change aligns with the structural shift toward using EmbedContentConfig for various embedding request configurations [1].

Move outputDimensionality into embedContentConfig.
Gemini deprecates EmbedContentRequest.outputDimensionality. Set embedContentConfig.outputDimensionality for each batch item and update TestNativeEmbeddings_BatchEmbedContents.

Skipped — verified against the live API: the REST batchEmbedContents endpoint silently ignores the nested embedContentConfig spelling (dimensions came back at the model default 3072) and honors the top-level outputDimensionality (48 → 48). Kept the working field with a code comment explaining why (fcfab27).
