Hi all,

I’m currently using Google Flash 2.0 (Gemini 2.0 Flash) with a direct API key from Google and have configured the system to use the Google Tokenizer. The chat functionality is working perfectly; however, when I try to enable image support, I encounter the following error:

> `{ "error": { "message": "'$.input' is invalid. Please check the API reference: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference.", "type": "invalid_request_error", "param": null, "code": null } } `

Has anyone else seen this? Is this error due to Gemini 2.0 not yet supporting vision features in Discourse AI? Any insights or workarounds would be appreciated.

Thanks!
