Gemini Can't Communicate

[chigkim]

First, this seems an awesome project!
Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work.
I set it up like this on Windows:

set OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:11434/v1"
set OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
set OPENAI_MODEL="qwen3-coder:30b-a3b-q8_0"
npm install
npm run build
npm start

In an another window, I ran this:

set GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:3000/%OPENAI_BASE_URL%"
set GEMINI_API_KEY="sk-..."
set GEMINI_MODEL="qwen3-coder:30b-a3b-q8_0"
gemini "What is this project about?"

I get this:

An unexpected critical error occurred:[object Object]

Nothing else getting printed in the proxy log:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
