Description

Newer gemini models support things like grounded searches and timed caching. However openai compatible api might not expose these costs in the input/output tokens the way claude api does.

verify that metering for this is valid, and fix if not

Contributor guide

Check how the OpenAI compatible API handles grounded search and cache costs for Gemini models, compare with expected billing, and adjust token counting if needed.
