-OpenAI Realtime GA (with `gpt-realtime-2` pricing and `/openai/v1/realtime` logging), a broad multi-tenancy hardening sweep across keys, projects, batches, files, and MCP servers, MCP Gateway expansion (org-level permissions, OBO auth, `delegate_auth_to_upstream` PKCE passthrough), an observability overhaul (Prometheus label/cardinality fixes + OTEL handler isolation), and new models including xAI `grok-4.3`, OpenAI `gpt-realtime-2`, OpenRouter Qwen 3.6 Plus, SambaNova MiniMax-M2.7, and Bedrock Z.AI GLM-5.
+A patch release on top of [v1.85.0](/release_notes/v1.85.0/v1-85-0): day-0 support for Gemini 3.5 Flash on Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, a Vertex AI tool-calling fix that resolves Gemini 3.5+ HTTP 400 `Unknown name "id"` errors, and a cross-pod spend-counter fix that stops team budgets from double-counting after a Redis cache miss. The same fixes are also shipped for the 1.84 line as [v1.84.1](/release_notes/v1.84.1/v1-84-1).

+## New Models / Updated Models
+
+#### New Model Support (1 new model)
+
+| Provider | Model | Context Window | Input ($/1M tokens) | Output ($/1M tokens) | Features |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Gemini / Vertex AI | `gemini/gemini-3.5-flash`, `vertex_ai/gemini-3.5-flash` | 1M | $1.50 | $9.00 | Reasoning, vision, audio input, PDF input, prompt caching, web search, function calling, response schema |
+
+#### Features
+
+- **[Gemini](../../docs/providers/gemini)** / **[Vertex AI](../../docs/providers/vertex)**
+ - Day-0 support for Gemini 3.5 Flash on both Google AI Studio and Vertex AI - [PR #28268](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/28268)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **[Vertex AI](../../docs/providers/vertex)**
+ - Omit the `function_call` / `function_response` `id` on Vertex Gemini 3.5+ tool turns, fixing HTTP 400 `Unknown name "id"` errors. Google AI Studio (`gemini` provider) still forwards the `id` on Gemini 3.5+ for strict tool-call matching - [PR #28324](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/28324)
+
+## Spend Tracking, Budgets and Rate Limiting
+
+- Seed the Redis spend counter via `SET NX` instead of `INCRBYFLOAT` to prevent cross-pod double-seeding. On multi-pod deployments this previously caused team `spend` to jump to ~Nx the pod count after a Redis cache miss / TTL expiry, triggering false "Budget Crossed" alerts - [PR #27854](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/27854)
