Yes I think I do 🙂

You are trying to use the Open AI compatible endpoint Google provide instead of the Gemini native endpoint.

Try using:

`https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash`

And use the Gemini provider.

The OpenAI compatibility layer has some limitations.
