Running Gemini 2.5 Pro with grounded search sometimes returns empty response.text with finish_reason of STOP and no other reason. When I inspect the response dict it shows evidence of the search with some web meta information, but nothing else. Any ideas on what is going on? Here is my code: def …

Hi, the issue has been escalated to the engineering team. Thanks.

I am having the same issue. What was the engineering team feedback?

Hi, our team is actively addressing this issue. Sharing a sample prompt or reproducible code would significantly accelerate the debugging process. Thank you.

I’m using the LiteLLM Latest, and I also have the same issue. Has it been solved yet?
