Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): Gemini batchEmbedContents enforces a 100-request cap per call; wrappers assumed OpenAI-like 2048. Fix status: fixed_upstream (fixed in @ai-sdk/google PR #16575 (release not verified)) Other error fragments: - AI_APICallError: * BatchEmbedContentsRequest.requests: at most 100 requests can be in one batch Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/vercel/ai/issues/16101 (github_issue, 2026-06-13, released_fix): Exact error with gemini-embedding-001; provider set maxEmbeddingsPerCall=2048 vs Google cap 100; fixed by PR #16575 with backports. - https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchainjs/issues/4491 (github_issue, 2024-02-22, reported_symptom): Same 400 via LangChain.js GoogleGenerativeAI embeddings; solution: batch to <=100.

Problem details

Observed symptom
Indexing works for small corpora and fails for >100 chunks; frameworks sized for OpenAI (2048 inputs) break on Gemini.
Context
Product: Gemini API Component: batchEmbedContents Operation: embed many documents (gemini-embedding-001, earlier embedding models) via SDK/framework batch helpers Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown HTTP status: 400 Exception: GoogleGenerativeAIError, AI_APICallError Packages: @ai-sdk/google 3.0.82 reported (maxEmbeddingsPerCall=2048); fixed via PR #16575 Trigger: More than 100 inputs in one batchEmbedContents request.

Recommended action: Chunk embedding requests to <=100 inputs per call for Gemini; upgrade @ai-sdk/google past PR #16575 (backports to v5/v6). Fix: Batch at 100 for Gemini [evidence: released_fix] Applies when: Embedding pipelines Steps: 1. Set per-call max to 100 for Gemini embedding models 2. Also respect per-input token limits Expected: Embedding succeeds. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
