Hello @msampathkumar, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

As gemini-code-assist, I've reviewed this pull request which focuses on updating the GenAI SDK samples. The primary changes involve upgrading the google-genai Python library dependency to version 1.16.1 across various sample directories. Concurrently, the samples have been updated to use newer preview versions of the Gemini models, specifically changing most instances of gemini-2.0-flash-001 to gemini-2.5-flash-preview-05-20 and gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25 to gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06. Additionally, copyright years in some files have been advanced to 2025, and the default GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION in several test files has been changed from us-central1 to global.

Highlights

Dependency Update: The google-genai Python SDK dependency has been updated to version 1.16.1 in all sample requirements.txt files.
Model Version Updates: Samples using gemini-2.0-flash-001 have been updated to use gemini-2.5-flash-preview-05-20. The thinking_textgen_with_txt.py sample now uses gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06 instead of gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25.
Test Configuration Change: Several test files now set the GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION environment variable to global instead of us-central1.
Copyright Year Update: Copyright headers in some files have been updated from 2024 to 2025.
Minor Sample Adjustments: Small code adjustments were made in textgen_chat_stream_with_txt.py (return type and variable removal) and textgen_with_local_video.py (added a text part to contents).

Code Review

This pull request effectively updates the GenAI SDK samples, primarily by upgrading model versions and dependencies. The changes are largely straightforward and help keep the examples current.

I've identified a few areas that might warrant a second look to ensure the samples remain clear and functional as intended:

Behavioral Change in Streaming Samples: Two streaming examples have changed their return type from the accumulated string to a boolean. This might be an intentional simplification, but it alters the function's utility.
Potentially Extraneous Code: One sample involving video processing has an added text part that seems unrelated to the main task.

Details are in the specific comments below.

Summary of Findings

Behavioral Change in Streaming Samples: In genai/text_generation/textgen_chat_stream_with_txt.py and genai/text_generation/textgen_with_txt_stream.py, the functions now return bool instead of the accumulated str from the stream. This changes their utility for programmatic access to the full response.
Potentially Extraneous Code in Video Sample: In genai/text_generation/textgen_with_local_video.py, a Part.from_text(text="hello-world") was added. Its purpose in the context of generating content from a video is unclear and might be an accidental addition.
Unused Import (Low Severity): In genai/text_generation/textgen_chat_stream_with_txt.py, GenerateContentConfig is imported but not used. (Not commented inline due to review severity settings).

Merge Readiness

The pull request primarily consists of version updates, which are beneficial. However, there are a few medium-severity issues regarding changes in sample behavior and potentially extraneous code that should be reviewed and addressed to ensure the samples are clear and function as intended. I recommend addressing these points before merging. As an AI, I am not authorized to approve pull requests; please ensure further review and approval by authorized team members.
