fix(openai): adapt chat params for GPT-6 and tool calls on GPT-5.6+ by SantiagoDePolonia · Pull Request #1108 · ENTERPILOT/GoModel

SantiagoDePolonia · 2026-10-02T23:39:52Z

Problem

GPT-6 models (gpt-6-sol, gpt-6-luna, gpt-6-astra, gpt-6.1-sol) were not recognized as reasoning models, so max_tokens and temperature were forwarded and OpenAI rejected them. Every /v1/messages request to GPT-6 failed, because the Anthropic API always sends max_tokens.
From GPT-5.6 on, OpenAI rejects function tools on Chat Completions unless reasoning_effort is "none". All tool requests to gpt-5.6-*, gpt-6-sol and gpt-6-luna failed, including every Anthropic-SDK client that sends tools.

Fix

Reasoning-model detection now parses the GPT generation (gpt-<major>[.<minor>]) and applies the reasoning rules to GPT-5 and every later generation, so the next family needs no code change.
On GPT-5.6+, a tool request that sets no reasoning effort gets reasoning_effort: "none". An effort set by the caller (nested or flat) is kept. gpt-6-astra and gpt-6.1-* reject "none", so they keep OpenAI's own error, which points to /v1/responses. Routing those through Responses is a follow-up.
Documented in the provider notes.

Verified live through /v1/messages (Anthropic SDK) and /v1/chat/completions on gpt-6-luna and gpt-5.6-terra: text, images, streaming, forced, parallel and none tool choice, and tool round-trips.

The separate test(kimicode) commit applies go fix to a test file from #1083. That file fails make fix-check on main and blocks the pre-commit hook.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Improved compatibility with OpenAI o-series and GPT-5-and-later reasoning models, including GPT-6: token limits are translated to the parameter these models expect, and unsupported temperature settings are omitted.
- For GPT-5.6-and-later tool requests, reasoning effort defaults to “none” when not specified. Explicit effort settings are preserved; GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 are excluded from this default.
Documentation
- Added guidance on model-specific settings and using /v1/responses for tool calls that are incompatible with the selected reasoning effort.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OpenAI reasoning-model detection now covers GPT-5 and later generations. Eligible tool requests without a specified effort receive reasoning_effort: "none", with exceptions for GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1. Provider documentation describes the rules. KimiCode tests replace a local pointer helper with Go’s built-in new.

Changes

OpenAI reasoning-model handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
GPT version classification `internal/providers/openai/openai.go`, `internal/providers/openai/openai_test.go`	GPT model parsing and reasoning-model classification now cover generation 5 and later. Tests cover additional model names and token adaptation.
Tool-request effort adaptation `internal/providers/openai/openai.go`, `internal/providers/openai/openai_test.go`, `docs/providers/overview.mdx`	Eligible tool requests receive `reasoning_effort: "none"` when no effort is specified. Tests cover caller-provided effort and excluded models. The provider overview documents parameter handling and exclusions.

KimiCode test pointer cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Replace the test pointer helper `internal/providers/kimicode/kimicode_test.go`	Tests use Go’s built-in `new` to create boolean pointers. The local `boolPtr` helper is removed.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 061cd

The reviewed changes preserve the documented request-adaptation paths, and the test-only pointer change is supported by CI’s Go version. No actionable merge blocker remains.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 061cd

The change adjusts request defaults while preserving explicit caller choices. No additional execution authority or credential access was identified in the inspected paths. External-service compatibility remains an uncertainty.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The demonstrated exposure is changed outbound parameter handling for eligible chat requests, including streaming requests. Requests previously rejected may become accepted, but the inspected adaptation and dispatch chain supplies no additional execution authority or credential scope. Broader tenant and deployment exposure was not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — In the inspected call chain, caller-supplied parameters cross the existing provider serialization boundary. The change does not add a tool-execution path, replace credentials, or select a different endpoint; blocking and streaming dispatch retain their existing client and headers.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

observed — The reasoning-effort helper shallow-copies the request and constructs merged extra fields instead of mutating caller-owned state. The inspected path neither retains the adapted request nor introduces a multi-step shared-state lifecycle, limiting cross-request contamination from the new default.

- Around line 88-90: Update the `reasoning_effort` documentation so it does not
suggest that explicitly setting an effort makes Chat Completions tool calls work
for GPT-6 Astra or GPT-6.1. Clarify that explicit effort may still be rejected
and that these models require `/v1/responses` for tool calls.

Review comments at @internal/providers/openai/openai.go:
- Around line 125-133: Update chatToolsRequireNoReasoning to use the parsed
major and minor versions when excluding GPT-6.1, so only version 6.1 is exempt
and versions such as GPT-6.10 retain the GPT-5.6+ default.
