I had a question -

When new models are released, how quickly can we use them via openAI compatibility method?

Hello,

Welcome to the forum!

You should be able to use the new models with OpenAI compatibility as soon as they are officially released and updated in the Gemin API documentation.

Thank you so much!

We noticed that one of the models 2.5 Flash Lite is not being supported currently (Using OpenAI libraries with Vertex AI  |  Generative AI on Vertex AI  |  Google Cloud)

I had few questions -

  • Is there support planned for this model?
  • Will models that do not support chat completion not be supported by this library (OpenAI compatible)?
  • Is there a timeline / roadmap that we can refer for changes, apart from the documentation?

Hi @Devanshu_Mahapatra

I tried calling google/gemini-2.5-flash-lite with OpenAI, it seems it is working, could you please check again at your end and confirm if it works for you or not?
