* Bump Python package versions for 1.14.0 release Bump the CHANGELOG-selected packages for the 1.14.0 release: minor versions for root/core, AG-UI, Foundry, OpenAI, and orchestrations due to additive public APIs; patch versions for declarative and GitHub Copilot fixes; and Pacific-date prerelease stamps only for changed alpha/beta packages. No beta cohort bump was applied. Core dependency floors follow the strict policy and remain unchanged because no dependent package requires a new 1.14 API. Release validation also identified and corrected missing AG-UI and Copilot Studio runtime dependencies and aligned GitHub Copilot metadata with its Python 3.11 SDK requirement. Lab is intentionally skipped because its changes are development-only, and the moved Azure Functions and Durable Task packages are documented but no longer versioned here. * Raise AG-UI core dependency floor
Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Gemini
Install the provider package:
pip install agent-framework-gemini --pre
Gemini Integration
The Gemini integration enables Microsoft Agent Framework applications to call Google Gemini models with familiar chat abstractions, including streaming, tool/function calling, and structured output.
Structured Output
Gemini structured output can be configured with either a Pydantic model in response_format, a JSON schema mapping in response_format, or a Gemini-specific response_schema. Declarative agents that define outputSchema pass that schema through response_format.
Authentication
The connector supports both google-genai authentication modes.
Gemini Developer API
Obtain an API key from Google AI Studio and set either the package-prefixed or SDK-standard environment variable:
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# or: export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export GEMINI_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"
# or: export GOOGLE_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"
Vertex AI
Set the standard Vertex AI environment variables used by google-genai:
export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION="global"
export GOOGLE_MODEL="gemini-2.5-flash-lite"
Examples
