Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK's _GenerateVideosConfig_to_mldev converter rejects these fields for the Developer API; conversely webhook_config is Developer-API-only.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Older SDK versions may word the same check differently (e.g. referencing Vertex AI); the wording here is from the pinned HEAD.
Other error fragments:
- output_gcs_uri parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.
- seed parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.
- generateAudio parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Veo requests fail client-side before any HTTP call when Vertex-only video options are set on a Developer API (API key) client.
- Context
- Product: Google Gen AI SDK (python-genai / js-genai) Component: GenerateVideosConfig converter for the Gemini Developer API Operation: client.models.generate_videos(config=GenerateVideosConfig(generate_audio=..., seed=..., output_gcs_uri=...)) on an API-key client Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: ValueError, Error Trigger: Porting a Vertex AI Veo sample (generate_audio, seed, fps, output_gcs_uri, compression_quality, resize_mode, mask, pubsub_topic, labels) to the Gemini Developer API.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Veo via google-genai] ValueError 'generate_audio parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.' (also fps, seed, output_gcs_uri
Recommended action: Remove Vertex-only fields when using an API key (Veo 3 on the Developer API generates audio without a flag), or construct the client with vertexai=True/project/location to use them.
Option: Drop Vertex-only GenerateVideosConfig fields for API-key clients [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. Or switch to a Vertex/Enterprise client
Expected: The call succeeds or the failure is handled deliberately.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
