Proposed fix: [go-genai] 'The batches.createEmbeddings function is only supported in Gemini Developer API mode, not in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode.' — batch embeddings unavailable on the Ver
Recommended action: On Vertex use batch prediction jobs with embedding models (BigQuery/GCS sources) or call embedContent in chunks; keep a Developer API client for batch embeddings.
Option: Use Vertex batch prediction for embeddings [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. Create a batch job with src GCS/BigQuery and an embedding model.
Expected: Embeddings produced on Vertex.
