bug: long thinking / blocking with gemini provider

I use curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=my_api_key" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-X POST \
-d '{
"contents": [{
"parts":[{"text": "Explain how AI works"}]
}]
}'
There can be results, but codex has been waiting for 313s.

When I switched to deepseek, there was no waiting at all, no thinking time, and no results.

Not sure, but if you can consistently repro please add more details. Also will accept a PR for a fix here!

Just a note related to this:
After https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/563 "Thinking" could mean that it's waiting for the rate limit backoff. Don't think this was the case here as this is before the PR, but something to keep an eye out after

When I use the OpenRouter model, there can be results, whether it is a paid deepseek-v3 or a free model (see the picture above). Although the previous situation still occurs, I will use OpenRouter in the future

You can try openrouter.

I have to add some details, I am really confused, the previous use of openrouter's 【codex -p openrouter -m google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp: free】 has results, right? But trying some of the rest of the models provided by openrouter will not work. My detailed process is: go to the official website of openrouter to get the api-key, and export OPENROUTER_API_KEY. The remaining models are sent just after I enter, no thinking, no answer. Why in the end.

But when I used gemini's API_KEY to do it, it kept getting stuck.

What a big bug.

Well now there is nothing, no thought process at all, no output, why on earth is it pai

Not sure, but if you can consistently repro please add more details. Also will accept a PR for a fix here!

Can you take a look at this bug?

Closing this as out of date, please re-file an issue if still relevant, thanks!
