Call ListModels to see the list of available models and their supported methods.”, “status”: “NOT\_FOUND” } } I guess Cursor is using ‘models/gemini-1.0-pro’ for verifying the api key. I think they have discontinued the use of this model. Even when my api key is valid, it’s not connecting, hope they look into the issue. ---

I am having the same issue actually. when I change the test to 1.5 pro it works but obviously that’s only for curl, can’t change what model cursor automatically uses ---

I’m having the same problem here. Are you still able to use the Gemini models via API key even though the “verification” fails? ---

Just manually do the curl request that it provides you but switch it to the model that Google AI Studio recommends for verification. However, under the hood Cursor is using a depricated model. I don’t understand why it needs to do this verification step at all. If I put in an API key that doesn’t work with a model I choose, return an error then. ---

Does following help? > [@Support DeepSeek V3 0324](https://forum.cursor.com/t/support-deepseek-v3-0324/69236/25): > > If your key fails verification, try disabling all models and try again. Also, don’t forget to change the base URL. ---

This works for OpenAI as it lets you input an override URL for accessing the endpoint, but not for Gemini. The verification process for Gemini is just confirming that a request can be sent, but Cursor doesn’t let you override the endpoint. They should add a way to change the URL for verification, as models can be depricated with short notice leaving a hardcoded verification URL useless. ---

That’s not resolving anything, it’s a workaround. I need Gemini API key to work natively in Cursor, not via. openrouter as it’s through an enterprise account. ---
