does livekit support vertex llm <https://docs.livekit.io/agents/models/llm/plugins/gemini/>

Thanks for reaching out, Matt. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


Thanks — good question. Yes: LiveKit supports using Google Vertex AI via the Gemini plugin.

What that means and how to get started:
• Enable the Gemini plugin and set the `vertexai` parameter to `true` in your LLM configuration.
• Provide your Google Cloud project ID and location (or set them via environment variables).
• Authenticate with Vertex AI by pointing `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` to your service account key file.
This lets LiveKit Agents use Vertex AI / Gemini models as the LLM backend for voice AI and real-time conversation flows. If you’d like, tell me which Gemini model you plan to use or share the config you’re working with and I can help validate the settings or provide a sample config.
