Having the exact same problem here. Completely stuck, even after several hours.

Hi @warpwarp
Welcome to the forum!!!

Thanks for reporting this issue.
Could you please confirm whether you are using the Gemini API or Vertex AI? The Vertex AI documentation notes that gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview has been discontinued, and you may refer to the documentation for gemini-3-pro-image as well.
Thank you.
