Gemini and other models don't load

Type: Bug

Please see steps I took, which none of them have worked. This is related to having the models in the chat window not the terminal. I am using free version with my own API key.

Tried to use my already configured gemini model and got an error "langual model not available"

Went to add models, selected gemini, nothing is loading

Signed out of github account and back in, then refreshed the workspace
