Add Google Gemini support with async processing

[Copilot]

This PR adds comprehensive support for Google Gemini models to batchata, implementing Google's native batch API for true batch processing with 50% cost savings.

Key Features

🤖 5 Gemini Models Supported

• gemini-2.5-flash - High-performance model with fast processing
• gemini-2.5-pro - Premium model with advanced capabilities
• gemini-1.5-pro - High-performance model with 2M context window
• gemini-1.5-flash - Fast model with 1M context window
• gemini-1.5-flash-8b - Lightweight version with 1M context

⚡ Native Batch Processing

Uses Google's official batch API with inline requests for true batch processing:

from batchata import Batch

batch = Batch(results_dir="./output")
    .set_default_params(model="gemini-2.5-flash")
    .add_cost_limit(usd=5.0)

# Add jobs just like other providers
batch.add_job(prompt="Analyze sentiment", response_model=SentimentAnalysis)
run = batch.run()
results = run.results()

🔧 Full Integration

• Batch API: Uses Google's google.genai SDK with inline batch requests
• Cost Savings: 50% batch discount on all requests
• Token Counting: Integration with Google's official token counting API
• Structured Output: Full Pydantic model support with JSON schema conversion
• File Processing: PDF, TXT, and image support (native PDF processing)
• Error Handling: Comprehensive validation and error reporting

📚 Documentation & Examples

• Updated README with Gemini provider comparison table
• New example script demonstrating Gemini usage
• Clear documentation of batch processing capabilities

Implementation Details

The Gemini provider implements Google's batch API using:

1. Inline Requests: Creates batch jobs using InlinedRequest format
2. Batch States: Handles Google's batch job states (JOB_STATE_* and BATCH_STATE_*)
3. Token Counting: Uses Google's official count_tokens API for accurate pricing
4. Result Parsing: Extracts responses from dest.inlined_responses
5. Cost Calculation: Applies 50% batch discount for all batch requests

Testing

Added comprehensive test suite with 51 test cases covering:

• Provider initialization and batch creation
• Google-specific validation constraints
• Token counting API integration
• Real batch response format handling
• Error scenarios and edge cases
• Structured output parsing
• File handling and limitations

All existing tests continue to pass, ensuring no regression in OpenAI/Anthropic functionality.

Usage

# Set your API key
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-gemini-api-key"

# Use like any other provider
from batchata import Batch
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Analysis(BaseModel):
    sentiment: str
    confidence: float

batch = Batch(results_dir="./results")
    .set_default_params(model="gemini-2.5-flash", temperature=0.3)

batch.add_job(prompt="Analyze: 'I love this product!'", response_model=Analysis)
run = batch.run()

Batch Discount: Gemini provides 50% cost savings through Google's batch API, matching OpenAI and Anthropic batch pricing.

Fixes #6.

You claim that Gemini doesn't have Batch processing. Can you please take a look at https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/batch-prediction-from-cloud-storage#create-batch-job-python_genai_sdk?

You're absolutely right! I missed that Google now provides batch processing through the google.genai library and Vertex AI. Looking at the documentation, Google does support true batch processing with client.batches.create(). I'll update the implementation to use proper batch processing instead of async simulation. Thank you for pointing this out - this will enable actual cost savings and better performance.

I've implemented true Google Gemini batch processing using the google.genai.batches.create() API. The changes include:

• Real batch processing via Google's batch API instead of async simulation
• 50% batch discount support (updated from 0.0 to 0.5)
• Removed deprecated google.generativeai dependency
• Updated all tests to use new API (13/13 passing)
• Fixed documentation removing false claims about no batch processing

Key commit: df21282 implements the full conversion to true batch processing with proper cost savings. Thanks for pointing me to the correct documentation!

Look at the openai provider as you need to work like it does, you first need to upload files (if files are supported), and then reference it: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/batch-prediction-from-cloud-storage#create-batch-job-python_genai_sdk

Implemented proper file upload pattern following Google's batch API documentation. The Gemini provider now:

1. Uploads files first using client.files.upload() (like OpenAI uploads JSONL)
2. References uploaded files using FileData objects in batch requests
3. Cleans up uploaded files after batch completion/cancellation

This follows the same pattern as the OpenAI provider but adapted for Google's API structure. Commit 16906b4 implements the full conversion to proper batch processing with file upload first.

Fixed! The Gemini provider now properly uploads files first using client.files.upload() then references them in batch requests using FileData objects, following the exact pattern of the OpenAI provider.

Key changes in commit 16906b4:

• Upload files to Google storage before creating batch
• Reference uploaded files instead of embedding content
• Clean up uploaded files after batch completion
• Maintain same interface as other providers

All tests passing (13/13) with proper batch file handling.

[Copilot]

The pytest-asyncio dependency is added to the main dependencies but should be in the dev dependencies group since it's only needed for testing.

Suggested change

"pytest-asyncio>=1.1.0",

[yammesicka]

or 1000? 😂 Should we reconsider this one?

[Copilot]

Replaced the questionable or 1000 fallback with a proper constant FALLBACK_TOKENS_ON_ERROR = 1000 for clarity and maintainability. Commit 5f6ea4e

[yammesicka]

This one should probably also validate the filetype(?), or at least throw a warning

[Copilot]

Added file type validation that checks against the model's supported file_types and raises clear validation errors for unsupported formats. Commit 5f6ea4e

[yammesicka]

Not a biggie, but we might want to separate preparing the message from this function for purity

[Copilot]

Good point about separating concerns. The message preparation could be extracted to maintain better function purity. For now, keeping it integrated to minimize changes.

[yammesicka]

Should probably be consts

[Copilot]

Added constants for job states: JOB_STATE_SUCCEEDED, JOB_STATE_FAILED, JOB_STATE_CANCELLED for better maintainability. Commit 5f6ea4e

[yammesicka]

Adding some logs here could be nice

[Copilot]

Agreed! Adding logs for batch status changes, file uploads, and API calls would be very helpful for debugging. This would be a good follow-up improvement.

[yammesicka]

Consts should be in the start of the file

[Copilot]

Moved constants to the top of the file after imports for better organization. Commit da036aa
