Description

Gemini media responses currently discard inline_data parts during conversion to the OpenAI-compatible response shape. This makes image-only responses appear to have no choices and loses media from text-plus-image responses.

This change converts inline media to data URLs in both non-streaming and streaming response paths, exposes them as images, and emits a choice when a candidate contains media without text or tool calls.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes the required sections, issue reference, change summary, testing details, checklist, and AI usage information. It also discloses that the full provider test run did not complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The implementation addresses the main requirements in issue #1295 by preserving inline media in streaming and non-streaming responses, converting it to data URLs, exposing it through images, and emitting choices for media-only candidates. However, the review context reports five existing tests failing because Mock() parts expose a truthy inline_data value that causes a bytes-encoding TypeError.

Resolution

Fix the inline_data validation so non-Blob or non-bytes mock values cannot cause a TypeError, or update the affected mocks to set inline_data = None. Re-run the affected existing tests and the relevant provider test suite until they pass or document an accepted compatibility decision with evidence from the issue owner.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within scope for issue #1295. The new image response types, message fields, Gemini conversion logic, and regression tests directly support inline_data preservation. No unrelated functional changes are identified.

Thanks for pointing this out. Fixed in commit f57d60b.

_inline_data_image now rejects empty byte payloads in addition to missing data, and the existing regression test covers the empty-payload case alongside the other invalid inline-data cases.

Validation:

  • uv run pytest -p no:rerunfailures tests/unit/providers/test_gemini_provider.py -k "convert_response_skips_inline_data_without_image_payload or streaming_completion_with_inline_image" — 5 passed
  • uv run mypy src/any_llm/providers/gemini/utils.py src/any_llm/types/completion.py — passed
  • git diff --check — passed

The repository's Ruff checks still report pre-existing copyright-header and formatting issues in the touched files; no unrelated cleanup was included.

Thanks for picking up #1295. Two things from running the branch locally at 08cf1fb:

  1. images never reaches the public non-streaming result. GoogleProvider._convert_completion_response in gemini/base.py builds ChatCompletionMessage with explicit kwargs and does not pass images, so acompletion() returns message.images is None even though _convert_response_to_response_dict fills it. Reproduced with the test helper: the intermediate dict carries the image_url block, ChatCompletion.choices[0].message.images is None. The tests here stop at the dict, which is why it passes. images=message_dict.get("images") there plus one test through _convert_completion_response closes it. Streaming is fine, since the chunk is built in utils.py.

  2. Five existing tests fail on this branch and pass on main: test_streaming_completion_includes_usage_data, test_streaming_completion_without_usage_metadata, test_convert_response_text_part_thought_signature_rides_the_message, test_streaming_text_part_thought_signature_rides_the_delta, test_streaming_completion_with_finish_reason_none. They build parts with Mock(), so part.inline_data is a truthy Mock and _inline_data_image reaches base64.b64encode(<Mock>) (utils.py:376, TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'Mock'). CI has not run on this PR yet (only CodeRabbit shows; Unit Tests need a workflow approval on fork PRs), so it is not visible from the checks. Either set inline_data = None on those mocks or check isinstance(blob.data, bytes) in the helper.

#1296 had the base.py line and used a real types.Part in its tests before it was closed as stale, if you want to borrow from it. Happy to re-verify on gemini-2.5-flash-image once these land.

Implemented in commit e92a08e6.

  • GoogleProvider._convert_completion_response now forwards message_dict["images"] into ChatCompletionMessage, so non-streaming callers receive generated images.
  • _inline_data_image now ignores non-bytes, empty, non-string MIME, and non-image/* payloads. This prevents Mock()-based parts from reaching base64.b64encode while preserving valid image conversion.
  • Added a regression test for the public non-streaming completion path.

Validation:

  • Focused Gemini regression tests: 11 passed.
  • Full Gemini unit module: 211 passed; 2 pre-existing environment failures while creating the Google client (ssl.SSLError: [SSL] unknown error on Windows).
  • Mypy passed for the changed provider/type files.
  • git diff --check passed.

The Unit Tests and Lint workflows were created for the new head but are currently action_required with no jobs because fork workflow approval is required.

Addressed the latest typed-access review in commit cb46697e.

The non-streaming Gemini part conversion now uses the declared types.Part fields directly (part.thought and part.function_call) instead of getattr. The focused Gemini regression set still passes: 11 passed. Mypy and git diff --check also pass; the only remaining Ruff findings are the repository's pre-existing copyright-header checks.

I tested this E2E for both Gemini and OpenAI endpoints.

gemini-2.5-flash-image returns a valid PNG on message.images and delta.images, and the message replays as history. The images half looks ready.

The audio half regresses OpenAI. gpt-audio-mini streaming with pcm16 works on main and fails on this head at the first chunk:

ValidationError: 2 validation errors for ChatCompletionChunk
choices.0.delta.audio.data        Field required
choices.0.delta.audio.expires_at  Field required

OpenAI sends delta.audio in pieces ({"id", "transcript"}, then {"data"}, then {"expires_at"}) and ChoiceDelta.audio here is the complete ChatCompletionAudio. On the Gemini side, a real gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts call returns audio/L16;codec=pcm;rate=24000: headerless PCM whose rate lives only in the mime type, which ChatCompletionAudio cannot carry, so message.audio.data is not playable as shipped, and only the last audio part of a candidate survives. The audio tests use audio/wav with the bytes WAVE, so they never hit that path.

Suggested implementation, same pattern as ChoiceDeltaToolCall:

class ChoiceDeltaAudio(BaseModel):
    """Streaming counterpart of ``ChatCompletionAudio``; every field optional, as in ``ChoiceDeltaToolCall``."""
    id: str | None = None
    data: str | None = None
    transcript: str | None = None
    expires_at: int | None = None

class ChoiceDelta(OpenAIChoiceDelta):
    ...
    audio: ChoiceDeltaAudio | None = None

ChatCompletionMessage keeps the base class's audio, so the redeclaration and the AudioContent alias go. In the Gemini converters, collect every audio blob into a list instead of keeping the last part. On the complete message, wrap audio/L16 in a WAV header with the rate parsed from the mime type (other formats pass through). On the stream, keep pieces raw like OpenAI's pcm16 and build ChoiceDeltaAudio(data=..., transcript=...).

Suggested tests:

  • test_convert_chunk_response_keeps_partial_audio_delta in test_openai_utils.py, parametrized over the three real pieces above through _convert_completion_chunk_response. Fails on this head, passes with the type.
  • test_convert_response_wraps_pcm_audio_as_wav, parametrized over rate 24000 and 16000, with two audio/L16 parts: asserts RIFF, the rate at bytes 24:28, and the joined payload.
  • test_streaming_completion_keeps_pcm_audio_raw: two parts in one chunk, joined, no header.
  • test_convert_response_skips_empty_audio_blob.

Both commits are on JamMaster1999:pr1344-audio on top of cf55b68 to cherry-pick (a52c375 WAV and join, bfc265f delta type). Unit suite and pre-commit pass there. Live on that branch:

Path Result
OpenAI gpt-audio-mini, stream, pcm16 30 chunks, 194,400 bytes of audio, transcript intact, one id. Fails on this head, passes here.
OpenAI gpt-audio-mini, plain, wav Unchanged, valid RIFF on message.audio.
Gemini gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts, stream One chunk with one raw piece of 96,526 bytes on delta.audio, finish_reason stop.
Gemini gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts, plain message.audio is a WAV that file reads as 16-bit mono 24000 Hz.

Verified at 9d0d6a5. The audio half now has the shape from the last round: ChoiceDeltaAudio with every field optional, all audio parts collected, audio/L16 wrapped as WAV on the message with the rate parsed from the mime type, and raw pieces on the stream. The four suggested tests are in, and the rate parse gained a guard against bad values.

CI has not run on this PR (the fork workflows are still waiting for approval), so I ran the two workflows locally on this head:

  • uv sync --group tests --extra all then pytest tests/unit: 2426 passed, 92 skipped.
  • pre-commit run --all-files: every hook passes. mypy only reports missing voyageai and ibm_watsonx_ai because pyproject excludes both on Python 3.14; nothing in this PR touches them.

The media conversion code matches the branch I tested live in the previous review, apart from the rate guard and docstrings, so the gpt-audio-mini and gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts results there carry over. A maintainer still needs to approve the workflow runs so Unit Tests and Lint show up on the PR.

OpenRouter google/gemini-2.5-flash-image plain, stream, replay Same as above, typed images and valid PNGs.

The OpenRouter rows go through the OpenAI-compatible passthrough, so the new images type is confirmed on a second converter, not only the Gemini one. Two notes for the record: OpenAI sends no finish_reason on audio streams (raw SDK, this head, and main all agree), and OpenAI's own Chat Completions endpoint does not serve gpt-image-2 at all, so the openai provider has no image path to regress.

Thank you @mikemikimike for the changes.
@javiermtorres would appreciate another look when you get the chance.

@HareeshBahuleyan this needs a maintainer approval to unblock. Javier's Copilot follow-ups were addressed in 1f519fa, and I ran it live on the current head 9d0d6a5 across Gemini, OpenAI and OpenRouter (table above). It's the fix for #1295 and we're carrying it on a fork downstream in the meantime.

## Description

OpenAI's audio input part is `{"type": "input_audio", "input_audio":
{"data": "<base64>", "format": "wav"}}` ([API
reference](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/api-reference/chat/create)).
The OpenAI provider passes it through untouched, so audio-capable models
already take it. The Gemini converter skipped it with a debug log, so
the one part shape that works on both providers went nowhere on Gemini.

This adds an `input_audio` branch to `_convert_messages` next to
`image_url` and `file`. It base64-decodes the data, runs the existing 20
MB inline guard, and builds `Part.from_bytes` with
`mime_type="audio/<format>"`. Gemini spells every audio format it
accepts as `audio/<name>` (wav, mp3, aiff, aac, ogg, flac, mpeg, m4a,
l16, opus, alaw, mulaw, webm, per the [audio
guide](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/audio)), so the format name
maps straight to the MIME type with no table. The base64 decode is
factored out of `_parse_data_uri` and shared.

Verified live on this branch. A WAV of "The quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog" from `gpt-4o-mini-tts`, sent as `input_audio` with
"Transcribe this audio exactly":

| provider / model | reply | usage |
|---|---|---|
| gemini `gemini-2.5-flash` | `The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
dog.` | in=122 out=32 |
| openai `gpt-audio-mini` | `The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
dog.` | in=55 out=10 |

Tests: `test_convert_messages_with_input_audio` (MIME and bytes on the
part) and
`test_convert_messages_input_audio_without_format_raises_invalid_request`.
The oversized case shares the existing guard test.
`tests/unit/providers/test_gemini_provider.py`, 266 passed. Pre-commit
clean.
