Research direction
Start with google-cloud-aiplatform setup.py at the dependency declaration cited in the issue, then compare it with grpcio-tools 1.83.0 metadata. Verify the updated range using pip download and confirm that the package can be installed alongside a supported grpcio-tools release.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
google-cloud-aiplatform pins protobuf<7.0.0, but grpcio-tools>=1.83.0 requires protobuf>=7.35.1. These two ranges don't overlap, so this package can't be installed alongside a current grpcio-tools.
Checked via pip download <pkg> --no-deps and reading METADATA:
google-cloud-aiplatform==2.1.0:protobuf!=4.21.0,...,!=4.21.5,<7.0.0,>=3.20.2grpcio-tools==1.83.0:protobuf<8.0.0,>=7.35.1,grpcio>=1.83.0
Also, source:
google-cloud-aiplatform setup.py@ v2.1.0:protobuf>=3.20.2,<7.0.0,!=4.21.0,!=4.21.1,!=4.21.2,!=4.21.3,!=4.21.4,!=4.21.5grpcio-tools tools/distrib/python/grpcio_tools/setup.py@v1.83.0:protobuf>=7.35.1,<8.0.0
gRPC only supports the current release and the one before it (FAQ), and ships roughly every 6 weeks. 1.83.0 came out 2026-07-21, so the next release will drop support for everything below it — at that point there's no supported grpcio left that's compatible with this cap.
Can you bump the protobuf upper bound (<8.0.0 would match grpcio-tools) so the package stays installable with a supported gRPC
version?
Thanks!
