Summary

  • Models with litellm_provider starting with vertex_ai now display with the vertex_ai/ prefix when the model name doesn't already include a provider prefix
  • This helps users understand that these models require GCP/Vertex AI credentials rather than simple API key authentication
  • Copying model names also copies the prefixed version

Context

Related to LiteLLM issue #8424 - users were confused that models like gemini-2.0-flash (without prefix) default to Vertex AI and require GCP credentials, not simple API key auth.

Models with litellm_provider starting with "vertex_ai" (e.g.,
"vertex_ai-language-models") now display with the vertex_ai/ prefix
when the model name doesn't already include a provider prefix.

This helps users understand that these models require GCP/Vertex AI
credentials rather than simple API key authentication.

Fixes issue where models like "gemini-2.0-flash" appeared without
indication that they default to Vertex AI auth.
