Audio Timestamp option missing in Generation Config

[Waheguru-Anurag]

Hi I was reading the vertex ai documentation - [https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/audio-understanding#:~:text=files%2C%20enable%20the-,audioTimestamp,-parameter%20in%20GenerationConfig]

Here it is mentioned:
2. Audio-only timestamps: To accurately generate timestamps for audio-only files, you must configure the audio_timestamp parameter in generation_config.

But I am not able to set this parameter in generation_config.

Hi @Waheguru-Anurag, this field was recently added (last week) and is currently only available in the REST API. The Python SDK hasn't been updated to support it yet.

I tried this parameter using the REST API but didn't notice an improvement.
For a 3 min long file timestamps suggested it was over 4 minutes long.

I used this prompt:

Translate the audio to english. Include timestamps and speakers. Use the following format:

<example>
[00:17] Agent (male): Yes, sir. So, you have a shop that sells medicines, fertilizers, and seeds?
[00:19] Customer (male): Hmm.
[00:21] Agent (male): Sir, I have this app, sir, for retailers.
</example>

I have tried the rest api as well, didn't help as well.
