- Use provider model ID "lyria-realtime-exp", not the LLMReference slug "lyria-realtime-experimental".
- 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.
