With the release of gemini-embedding-2-preview, developers now have access to 8k context windows and native multimodal support. I would like to know if Google plans to expose a model_name or embedding_config parameter within the file_search_stores.create()method. This would allow us to to enable smart semantic search across images and text natively within the File Search tool on Gemini Calls.
