gemini realtime with vertex ai

Thanks for reaching out, Thomas. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To use Gemini Realtime with Vertex AI, you need to configure the following parameters: • Set the
vertexai
parameter to
True
to use Vertex AI instead of Google AI:
vertexai=True
• Provide your Google Cloud project:
project="your-project-name"
• Optionally specify a location (defaults to "us-central1"):
location="us-central1"
The API key can be provided directly or through the
GOOGLE_API_KEY
environment variable. For realtime applications, you can use the RealtimeModel with parameters like voice, temperature, and instructions. Sources: Google integration guide | LiveKit Docs | livekit.plugins.google API documentation

environment variable to point to your service account key file:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account-key.json
• Specify the Google Cloud project either via the
project
argument, the
GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT
environment variable, or let it be inferred from the service account key file. • Set the location via the
location
argument, the
GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION
environment variable, or use the default "us-central1". • Ensure that
vertexai=True
is set when initializing your client to use Vertex AI instead of the regular Google AI API. • Note that an API key is not required when using Vertex AI. If you continue to encounter errors, please provide the specific error message or details for further assistance.
