Ports continuedev#13162 (filed upstream, which is read-only and will never merge it).

Description

chatCompletionStream deferred every chunk carrying a usage object so usage could be reported last. That assumes the OpenAI convention where usage arrives only on a terminal chunk.

llama.cpp's llama-server attaches a running usage counter to every chunk (completion_tokens 1, 2, 3…). Under that server the old condition matched all of them, so the entire stream was withheld and the user saw a blank reply.

Only defer chunks that carry no payload — no finish_reason and an empty delta.

Tests

packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/OpenAIStreamUsage.test.ts, 3 cases: per-chunk running usage (llama.cpp), OpenAI terminal usage-only chunk, and no duplication. Mutation-verified — reverting the guard fails them. 87/87 adapter tests pass.

Confirmed live against a real llama-server: content and reasoning both render.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved streaming responses so content and reasoning remain visible when usage metadata is included in the same chunk.
    • Ensured final usage information is delivered after streamed content.
    • Prevented duplicate trailing chunks and preserved completion details.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for usage metadata, content, reasoning, finish reasons, and terminal streaming behavior.

chatCompletionStream deferred any chunk with a `usage` field so that usage
could be re-emitted after all content. That assumes usage appears only on a
terminal chunk, which holds for the OpenAI API but not in general.

llama.cpp-based servers can attach a running `usage` counter to every chunk.
In that case the deferral branch matched on all of them, each overwriting
lastChunkWithUsage, and only the final chunk was ever yielded — so the entire
response was discarded and the assistant message rendered empty. Observed
against a local orchestrator: 51 chunks in, 1 out, all reasoning_content and
content deltas lost.

Only defer chunks that are genuinely usage-only: usage present, no
finish_reason, and an empty delta. Chunks carrying a payload are yielded
immediately, and a usage-bearing content chunk clears the deferred chunk so
it is not re-emitted as a duplicate.

Tests cover both regimes (per-chunk running usage and OpenAI's terminal
usage-only chunk) and are mutation-verified: reverting the predicate to
`!!result.usage` fails them with empty content.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes OpenAIApi.chatCompletionStream so that streaming responses are not inadvertently withheld when providers attach a running usage object to every chunk (e.g. llama.cpp’s llama-server). It preserves the intent of reporting a terminal “usage-only” chunk last, while allowing normal content/reasoning chunks through immediately.

Changes:

  • Adjusts usage deferral logic to defer only “usage-only” chunks (no finish_reason and empty delta) instead of deferring any chunk that contains usage.
  • Adds regression tests covering (1) per-chunk running usage, (2) OpenAI’s terminal usage-only chunk behavior, and (3) avoiding duplicate trailing emission.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

chatCompletionStream now defers only usage-only chunks. Content-bearing chunks remain in the stream. Regression tests cover usage, content, reasoning, finish reasons, multi-choice chunks, and duplicate prevention.

Changes

OpenAI streaming usage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage chunk handling and regression coverage
packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/OpenAI.ts, packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/OpenAIStreamUsage.test.ts
The stream defers chunks with usage when every choice has an empty delta and no finish reason. Content-bearing chunks pass through and clear deferred usage. Tests cover running usage, terminal usage-only chunks, reasoning, finish reasons, multi-choice chunks, and duplicate trailing chunks.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 201cc

The change preserves streamed content when usage counters appear on each chunk and includes focused coverage for the supported formats; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/OpenAI.ts:179

  • isUsageOnly only inspects result.choices?.[0]. If n > 1 is used and the first choice happens to have an empty delta while another choice carries content/finish_reason, this will incorrectly treat the whole chunk as usage-only and defer it, dropping payload for the other choices. Consider determining “payload” across all choices instead of only index 0.
      const choice = result.choices?.[0];
      const isUsageOnly =
        !!result.usage &&
        !choice?.finish_reason &&
        Object.keys(choice?.delta ?? {}).length === 0;

packages/openai-adapters/src/apis/OpenAIStreamUsage.test.ts:1

  • ChatCompletionChunk is only used as a type in this test file. Using a type-only import avoids emitting a runtime import (which can matter under ESM / verbatimModuleSyntax).
import { ChatCompletionChunk } from "openai/resources/index";

`isUsageOnly` inspected `choices[0]` only. With `n > 1`, a chunk whose
first choice is empty but whose second carries content was classified as
usage-only and deferred, dropping the other choice's payload. Use `every`
across all choices instead.

Also strengthens the duplicate-emission test: it began with a
content-bearing chunk, so no deferred chunk ever existed and an
implementation that failed to clear one would still have passed. It now
opens with a usage-only chunk.

Mutation-verified: the `n > 1` test fails against the old `choices[0]`
logic, and the duplicate test fails when the clearing branch is removed.
