- 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.

About Gemini 2.0 Flash
Google Gemini 2.0 Flash is deprecated and scheduled to shut down on June 1, 2026. Use a newer Gemini model such as Gemini 3.5 Flash for current integrations; official Gemini API pricing still lists $0.10 input / $0.40 output per 1M text, image, or video tokens before batch discounts.
