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))

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.

Proposed fix: [Gemini Embeddings] 400 'BatchEmbedContentsRequest.requests: at most 100 requests can be in one batch' — SDKs batching 2048 inputs per call
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.
