Stop listing Gemini as an OpenAI-compatible provider
The provider roster, both pointers on the OpenAI page and the Functions guide all named Google Gemini as an example of a provider that speaks the OpenAI Chat Completions protocol. Its tool calling does not, so the recommendation sends people at an endpoint that returns blank replies as soon as a tool is involved. The Functions guide was the worst of the four: it told Gemini users they do not need a Function, when a pipe calling Google's own API is one of the working answers. The Gemini tab in the OpenAI-compatible guide stays, since people will connect it regardless and that tab is where the limitation is now documented.

If your provider supports the **OpenAI Chat Completions API protocol** (OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, and many more), you don't need a Function. Just [add a connection](/getting-started/quick-start/connect-a-provider/starting-with-openai-compatible). Anthropic also has native support via their OpenAI-compatible endpoint; see the [Anthropic guide](/getting-started/quick-start/connect-a-provider/starting-with-anthropic). Functions are for everything else: proprietary APIs, custom agents, or entirely novel interfaces.
