Thanks for creating the request, we will support it in the next release

@LittleLittleCloud Is there a tentative date for when AutoGen.Net 0.0.15 will be released?

[LittleLittleCloud]

@hsm207 we ship a new package about every two weeks. You can consume the gemini package from nightly build once it's ready though

Currently, there are two ways to consume Gemini model

• Google AI
• Vertex AI

The detailed difference between those two can be found here. The main difference are authentication and library support, where Google AI uses api-key to authenticate the request and doesn't have an official dotnet library while Vertex AI use IAM to auth (other authentication methods also support, but using api-key from Google AI is not one of them) and has an official dotnet library Google.Cloud.AIPlatform.V1.

To support Gemini in AutoGen.Net, we can support consuming from Vertex AI first because it seems to be a quick win given that the official library is there. The support for Google AI will come later which might require manually crafting a Gemini client from rest api first
