- Use provider model ID "gemini-2.0-flash", not the LLMReference slug "gemini-2-0-flash".
- Use the model name directly, e.g. "gemini-2.0-flash", "gemini-1.5-pro", or "gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06".
- The examples expect GOOGLE_API_KEY; rename it only if your application config maps the new variable.
