> Google also has historically treated API keys as non-secrets, except with the introduction of the keys for LLM inference, then users are supposed to treat those secretly
This was reported a long time ago, and was supposed to be fixed by Google via making sure that these legacy public keys would not be usable for Gemini or AI. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47156925 https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/troubleshooting#google... "We are defaulting to blocking API keys that are leaked and used with the Gemini API, helping prevent abuse of cost and your application data." Why are we hearing about this again?
