Proposed fix: [Instructor + Gemini (google-generativeai)] ConfigurationError "Gemini `model` must be set while patching the client, not passed as a parameter to the create method"
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Construct genai.GenerativeModel(model_name=...) and patch it, omit model= in create(); or migrate to google-genai (from_genai / "google/<model>" via from_provider), since google-generativeai is deprecated.
Option: Bind model at client creation [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: from_gemini
Steps:
1. client = instructor.from_gemini(genai.GenerativeModel(model_name="gemini-..."))
2. client.create(messages=..., response_model=M) # no model=
Expected: Call succeeds
