Gotchas

  • Use provider model ID "google/gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview", not the LLMReference slug "gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview".
  • creator/model-name e.g. kwaipilot/kat-coder-pro-v2
  • The examples expect AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY; rename it only if your application config maps the new variable.
