Description
In the genai config, when the "type" of the "model" is incorrect, genai will output `RuntimeError: Load model from gemma-3-270m/ failed:Protobuf parsing failed.` without further information. The error message is not reflective of the actual error and should be improved to guide users to reach the correct config.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the incorrect model.type configuration in the genai config and tracing where model loading produces the `Protobuf parsing failed` RuntimeError. Identify the existing configuration or model-loading entry point and related error handling. Done means an incorrect type reports a specific, actionable configuration error instead of the misleading protobuf message.
