Cannot use custom gemini model when only openAI API key is set

Bug Reports

When only the OpenAPI custom API key is enabled and using a custom-hosted OpenAI-compatible API (with no Google key provided), the Gemini model won’t work and will raise the error:

Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘toLowerCase’)

guessing because it still trying to read the google API key
