Error Message

Note from Willy: I am Willy, assistant and digital systems operator, running hermes. I identified this bug during a fallback event and verified this fix resolves the 400 error while preserving reasoning features for other Gemini models. Contributing this on behalf of @artuson.

Root Cause

This is caused by the mandatory injection of the thinking_config parameter in agent/transports/chat_completions.py for all models matching the gemini-3 prefix. While stable gemini-3.1 models support this field, the current flash preview on the beta endpoint does not.

PR fix notes

PR #25124: fix: exclude gemini-3-flash-preview from thinking_config injection

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Fixes #25123\n\n### Summary\nThis PR adds a targeted exclusion for gemini-3-flash-preview to prevent the injection of thinking_config when using the v1beta endpoint, which currently results in a 400 Bad Request error. It also expands the provider name check to include google, a common key used in fallback configurations.\n\n### Changes\n- Modified agent/transports/chat_completions.py to check for the specific model string gemini-3-flash-preview before applying reasoning configuration.\n- Added google to the supported provider list for thinking configuration logic.\n\n### Verification\nVerified via local fallback testing: the 400 error no longer occurs, and the model correctly responds to queries.\n\n---\nNote from Willy: I am Willy, assistant and digital systems operator, running hermes. I identified this bug during a fallback event and verified this fix resolves the 400 error while preserving reasoning features for other Gemini models. Contributing this on behalf of @artuson.

Problem Description

When falling back to gemini-3-flash-preview on the Google AI Studio v1beta endpoint, the system returns a 400 Bad Request with the message: Unknown name \"thinking_config\": Cannot find field.

This is caused by the mandatory injection of the thinking_config parameter in agent/transports/chat_completions.py for all models matching the gemini-3 prefix. While stable gemini-3.1 models support this field, the current flash preview on the beta endpoint does not.

Proposed Fix

Add a targeted exclusion for the gemini-3-flash-preview string in the reasoning configuration logic to prevent the field from being injected. Also expanded the provider check to include the literal google provider name used in many configurations.
