from google import genai
from google.genai.types import GenerateContentConfig, HttpOptions

client = genai.Client(http_options=HttpOptions(api_version="v1"))
model_id = "gemini-2.0-flash-001"

response = await client.aio.models.generate_content(
    model=model_id,
    contents="Compose a song about the adventures of a time-traveling squirrel.",
