Add support for Gemini models

[mnvsk97]

• Models and providers should be configurable from models_config.yaml -> No extra work needed. Ref here
• Add support to inference servers that are not OpenAI compatible. -> Not needed. Ref here
• Support all modes of authentication to communicate with Gemini models via OpenAI API

hi @mnvsk97 if this is not taken up yet by anyone, I would love to take this up and contribute.

• I think for the first point we have to update model_gateway.py and model_config.sample.yaml
• for the second one, can u please explain a little more ?

Hey @AbhishekRP2002 , sorry I didn't get chance to reply earlier.
I am wondering, now that Gemini has a openai compatible API (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/openai), is this still needed?

I know accessing Gemini without API Key via some service account will need separate work

yeah u are right actually, i think with Gemini models accessible using the OpenAI lib we don't need to make any changes.
I thought in the direction of using gemini models either via Google AI Studio ( google.generativeai package ) or Vertex AI.
Apologies.
yeah for service account we need the GOOGLE_APPLICATIONS_CREDENTIALS with authentication via google auth.
