 You can set:
 - `vertex_credentials` (str) - can be a json string or filepath to your vertex ai service account.json
-- `vertex_location` (str) - place where vertex model is deployed (us-central1, asia-southeast1, etc.)
+- `vertex_location` (str) - place where vertex model is deployed (us-central1, asia-southeast1, etc.). Some models support the global location, please see [Vertex AI documentation](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/learn/locations#supported_models)
 - `vertex_project` Optional[str] - use if vertex project different from the one in vertex_credentials
