Fixes #15992

GoogleChat overrides self.client with a genai.Client (Vertex AI SDK) but never overrides self.async_client, which Base initializes as AsyncOpenAI(api_key=key, ...) where key is the raw Vertex AI service account JSON. When the inherited async _async_chat / _async_chat_streamly methods are used (async chat/streaming paths), this sends the service account JSON as an OpenAI API key, failing with:

openai.AuthenticationError: Error code: 401 - {'error': {'message': 'Incorrect API key provided: {"google...'..., 'code': 'invalid_api_key'}}

This PR adds GoogleChat-specific _async_chat and _async_chat_streamly for Gemini models, using self.client.aio.models.generate_content / generate_content_stream (the async namespace of the same genai.Client), mirroring the existing sync _chat / chat_streamly implementations. The Claude/AnthropicVertex branch falls back to the inherited Base implementation (unchanged behavior).

Test plan

  • Reproduced the 401 error on v0.25.6 with gemini-2.5-flash@Google Cloud via async chat completion endpoint
  • Applied this fix and confirmed async chat completions now succeed end-to-end

GoogleChat overrides self.client with a genai.Client (Vertex AI SDK) but
never overrides self.async_client, which Base initializes as
AsyncOpenAI(api_key=key, ...) where key is the raw Vertex AI service
account JSON. When the inherited async _async_chat / _async_chat_streamly
methods are used, this sends the service account JSON as an OpenAI API
key, failing with a 401 invalid_api_key error.

Add GoogleChat-specific _async_chat and _async_chat_streamly for Gemini
models using self.client.aio.models.generate_content /
generate_content_stream, mirroring the existing sync _chat / chat_streamly
implementations.

Walkthrough

GoogleChat adds explicit async implementations for non-streaming and streaming chat. These methods use the google-genai async client and preserve base-class delegation for claude models.

Changes

GoogleChat async method overrides

Layer / File(s) Summary
Async chat paths
rag/llm/chat_model.py
_async_chat and _async_chat_streamly prepare GenerateContentConfig and Content history, map assistant to model, and call the google-genai async APIs. Non-streaming chat returns text and token count. Streaming chat yields text and token count for each chunk.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 64ed3

Async Gemini chat now completes successfully, but its token usage can be reported incorrectly. Usage accounting should be updated before merge to avoid inaccurate reporting and aggregation.

1349-1364: 💤 Low value

Consider extracting shared config/content building logic.

The config building (lines 1349-1359) and content conversion (lines 1361-1364) logic is duplicated across _chat, chat_streamly, _async_chat, and _async_chat_streamly. Extracting helpers would reduce maintenance burden:

def _build_genai_config(self, system: str, gen_conf: dict, thinking_budget: int) -> "GenerateContentConfig":
    ...

def _convert_history_to_contents(self, history: list) -> list["Content"]:
    ...

This is consistent with the existing codebase patterns, so deferring is acceptable.

Thanks for the PR! The approach of overriding the async methods is correct. Here are a few suggestions:

Why overriding self.async_client assignment doesn't work
Simply reassigning self.async_client to a genai.Client won't help because Base._async_chat calls self.async_client.chat.completions.create(...) (OpenAI interface), which genai.Client doesn't have. The async APIs are entirely different across OpenAI, google-genai, and AnthropicVertex — not just the client object, but the request/response structures too (e.g. role mapping, config format, ThinkingConfig). So method-level overrides are necessary.

Suggestions

  1. Extract shared helpers — The config building and history conversion logic is duplicated across _chat, chat_streamly, _async_chat, and _async_chat_streamly. Extracting helper methods like _build_genai_config and _convert_history_to_contents would significantly reduce duplication and maintenance burden.

  2. Set self.async_client = None explicitly — Since GoogleChat never uses the AsyncOpenAI instance created by Base.__init__, it's worth explicitly setting self.async_client = None after super().__init__(). This ensures that accidental calls to the inherited async methods fail with a clear AttributeError rather than a confusing 401.

  3. Claude branch async path may also be broken — The async methods delegate to Base for Claude models, but self.async_client is still an AsyncOpenAI with the service account JSON as the key, which would also result in a 401. This should either be fixed (using AsyncAnthropicVertex) or documented as a known limitation.

Overall the PR correctly solves the Gemini async issue. The suggestions above are about reducing duplication and improving robustness.

Sensitive Data Exposure

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification did not complete.

Do not delegate GoogleChat Claude requests to the OpenAI async client.

For Claude models, these branches call Base async methods. Base.__init__ created AsyncOpenAI with the raw Google credential JSON before GoogleChat.__init__ replaced only self.client. Async Claude requests therefore use an incompatible transport, fail with authentication errors, and can forward the service-account configuration to the OpenAI endpoint.

Use an Anthropic Vertex async transport. If that transport is not supported, reject async Claude requests before any outbound request.

🌐 Web query:

infiniflow ragflow rag/llm/chat_model.py last_usage GoogleChat usage_metadata

💡 Result:

In RAGFlow, last_usage and usage_metadata are key components of the LLM token tracking and cost-accounting infrastructure, managed primarily within rag/llm/chat_model.py and utility files like common/token_utils.py [1][2][3]. Key technical details regarding these components include: 1. last_usage: This attribute is maintained within the Base LLM class (and its subclasses, including GoogleChat) to store token consumption (prompt/completion/total) for the most recent chat invocation [1]. To ensure accuracy, the system is designed to reset last_usage (e.g., via _reset_last_usage()) before every new chat or stream request to prevent stale data [1]. 2. usage_metadata: This refers to the structured object returned by LLM APIs (specifically the Google GenAI SDK used by GoogleChat) that contains token count information [4][2][5]. The common/token_utils.py module provides helper functions like total_token_count_from_response to extract total token counts from varying response structures, including those that provide usage_metadata.total_token_count [2][6]. 3. GoogleChat Implementation: The GoogleChat class in rag/llm/chat_model.py integrates with Google's Vertex AI via the google-genai SDK [7][8][9]. When performing streaming requests, the implementation typically iterates through response chunks and reads the usage_metadata.total_token_count from the final chunk to determine total consumption for the stream [4][10]. Recent updates to the codebase have focused on improving the accuracy of this accounting, particularly by aggregating token totals across multi-round tool-calling interactions and ensuring that usage information is properly propagated to logging services like Langfuse [1][3].

Update self.last_usage for Gemini async completions.

When GoogleChat._async_chat succeeds, it reads only response.usage_metadata.total_token_count. It does not update self.last_usage, unlike Base._async_chat. Langfuse reporting and run aggregation may therefore use stale or zero prompt and completion usage.

Set self.last_usage with prompt_token_count, candidates_token_count, and total_token_count. Set all usage fields to zero when usage_metadata is unavailable.
