When does this happen?
IF Calling /v1/images/generations with vertex_ai/gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview returns 404 error due to incorrect endpoint routing (uses :predict instead of :generateContent)
How others solved it
THEN For Gemini image generation models, use /v1/chat/completions with modalities: ['text', 'image'] instead of /v1/images/generations. This routes through the correct :generateContent endpoint internally. Once LiteLLM deploys the fix, /v1/images/generations will work directly.
# Workaround: Use chat completions endpoint instead of images endpoint
curl -X POST http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "vertex_ai/gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "A beautiful sunset over mountains"}],
"modalities": ["text", "image"]
