🐛 Bug Fix

Summary

presencePenalty` is a native Google Gemini API parameter as documented:

• Firebase GenerationConfig - presencePenalty?: number

When using presence_penalty with Google AI Studio Gemini models via LiteLLM, it throws an UnsupportedParamsError:

import litellm

response = litellm.completion(
    model='gemini/gemini-2.0-flash',
    messages=[{'role': 'user', 'content': 'Hello'}],
    presence_penalty=0.5
)
# ERROR: litellm.UnsupportedParamsError: gemini does not support parameters: ['presence_penalty']

Solution

Added presence_penalty to the list of supported OpenAI params in GoogleAIStudioGeminiConfig.get_supported_openai_params().

The parameter mapping to presencePenalty (camelCase) already existed in the parent class VertexGeminiConfig, so only the supported params list needed updating.

Tests Added

• test_google_ai_studio_presence_penalty_supported in tests/test_litellm/llms/vertex_ai/gemini/test_vertex_and_google_ai_studio_gemini.py

---

Note

Ensures Google AI Studio Gemini accepts presence_penalty without raising UnsupportedParamsError.

• Adds presence_penalty to GoogleAIStudioGeminiConfig.get_supported_openai_params()
• Adds regression test test_google_ai_studio_presence_penalty_supported validating support
• Updates tests to import GoogleAIStudioGeminiConfig
