+## Description
+
+Google Vertex AI inference provider enables you to use Google's Gemini models through Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, providing several advantages:
+
+• Enterprise-grade security: Uses Google Cloud's security controls and IAM
+• Better integration: Seamless integration with other Google Cloud services
+• Advanced features: Access to additional Vertex AI features like model tuning and monitoring
+• Authentication: Uses Google Cloud Application Default Credentials (ADC) instead of API keys
+
+Configuration:
+- Set VERTEX_AI_PROJECT environment variable (required)
+- Set VERTEX_AI_LOCATION environment variable (optional, defaults to us-central1)
+- Use Google Cloud Application Default Credentials or service account key
+
+Authentication Setup:
+Option 1 (Recommended): gcloud auth application-default login
+Option 2: Set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to service account key path
+
+Available Models:
+- vertex_ai/gemini-2.0-flash
+- vertex_ai/gemini-2.5-flash
+- vertex_ai/gemini-2.5-pro
+
