• I added a very descriptive title
• I've clearly described the feature request and motivation for it

Feature request

Currently, there is no support or documentation for using gemini-2.0-flash-001 with grounding in ChatGoogleGenerativeAI and ChatVertexAI. Adding this support would enable users to leverage grounded responses for more reliable and accurate AI interactions.

Motivation

The lack of grounding support for gemini-2.0-flash-001 in ChatGoogleGenerativeAI and ChatVertexAI limits its usability for applications requiring factually accurate responses. This can be frustrating when developing systems that rely on verified knowledge sources.

By adding support for grounding, users can enhance response reliability, improve factual correctness, and better integrate with external knowledge bases.

If this issue has already been discussed elsewhere, please link to relevant GitHub issues or discussions.
