…t per session (fixes #4452) Make the graded reasoning-effort knob live and provider-portable: - core: add thinking/effort.py resolving off|minimal|low|medium|high to each provider's native param (OpenAI/xAI reasoning_effort, Anthropic/Gemini extended-thinking budget; no-op for non-reasoning models). - llm/llm.py: emit the translated param in _build_completion_params from a new reasoning_effort setting (with thinking_budget as a backward-compatible alias). - agent/agent.py: accept reasoning_effort= and revive the previously-dead thinking_budget alias, threading both into the LLM request pipeline. - session/store.py: persist reasoning_effort on the session record and restore it on resume via get_session_reasoning_effort, mirroring model-persist (#3685).

Greptile SummaryThe PR makes reasoning effort a provider-portable request setting and persists it across CLI sessions.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge. No blocking failure remains; the previously reported session-restoration and cached-LLM synchronization defects are addressed by the current code.

When a user resumes a session through --continue or --session, production paths neither record reasoning_effort nor call this getter and apply its result, causing the resumed session to silently use the invocation default instead of its previous effort.

#4452) Address the two P1 gaps raised in review: - Cached LLM stayed stale: the reasoning_effort setter now updates the already-materialized LLM instance (which _build_completion_params reads), not just _llm_init_params, so post-construction changes take effect. - Session effort was serialized but never written/restored in production: apply_cli_session_continuity now persists reasoning_effort alongside the model, and `run` restores it on --continue/--session (mirroring #3685). Also: thinking_budget setter now routes through the effort setter, and the effort value is normalised to a canonical graded level so the persisted/ queried value is always provider-portable.

Propagate reasoning effort through the Responses API path and add routed-model coverage.
Only _build_completion_params currently calls resolve_reasoning_params, while _build_responses_params handles models such as o1, o3, o4, and the gpt-4o family. Those models can therefore silently omit the configured reasoning effort from the actual request, despite being documented targets of this feature. Apply the same per-call/instance translation in _build_responses_params, and add an Agent-level regression test using a Responses-API-routed model to verify that the native parameter reaches the request.

LiteLLM 1.83.14 modify_params Anthropic thinking temperature enabled temperature may only be set to 1
💡 Result:
When using Anthropic's "thinking" (extended thinking) mode, Anthropic requires the temperature to be set to 1 [1][2][3]. If a request is sent with thinking enabled and a temperature other than 1, Anthropic will return an error: "temperature may only be set to 1 when thinking is enabled" [1][2]. While litellm.modify_params = True is a commonly used configuration to allow LiteLLM to automatically handle certain parameter incompatibilities [4][5], it does not automatically force the temperature to 1 in all contexts for thinking models [1]. As of version 1.83.14 and beyond, users encountering this issue have a few primary ways to resolve it: 1. Recommended Workaround (Dropping the parameter): You can configure LiteLLM to drop the temperature parameter entirely for specific models using additional_drop_params. This forces the API to use the provider's default (which is 1 for Anthropic thinking models) [1]. Example configuration in config.yaml: model_name: litellm_params: model: / thinking: {"type": "enabled", "budget_tokens":...} additional_drop_params: ["temperature"] 2. Automatic Internal Handling: LiteLLM continues to iterate on its internal handling of these constraints. Specifically, recent updates (post-1.83.14) have introduced internal logic—such as _drop_incompatible_temperature_for_thinking—within the Anthropic transformation path to automatically drop conflicting temperatures when thinking is enabled, particularly for models that do not support temperature or require it to be fixed at 1 [2][6]. If you are on version 1.83.14 and still experiencing this error, it is recommended to use the additional_drop_params approach to ensure compatibility [1].

The _drop_incompatible_temperature_for_thinking method is a utility function implemented within LiteLLM’s Anthropic message transformation layer (specifically located in litellm/llms/anthropic/experimental_pass_through/messages/transformation.py) [1][2][3]. It was introduced to address Anthropic API errors occurring when "extended thinking" features are used alongside non-default temperature settings [1][4][5]. Key details regarding this transformation include: Purpose: Anthropic requires temperature to be set to 1 when extended thinking is enabled [1][2][3]. When clients (such as Claude Code) send requests with extended thinking (e.g., via adaptive thinking or legacy thinking parameters) combined with a pinned temperature other than 1, the Anthropic API rejects the request with a 400 Invalid Request Error [1][4][5]. This method silently removes the incompatible temperature parameter from the request, allowing Anthropic to apply its default temperature of 1 [1][2]. Scope of Application: The method specifically targets non-adaptive (pre-4.6) models [1][2][3]. Adaptive models (claude-3-7-sonnet and newer, or 4.6+ versions) handle this natively and are left untouched by the logic [1][2][3]. The check runs after other thinking-related transformations in the Anthropic /v1/messages passthrough path [1][4][5]. Context: This was introduced as part of fix #33244 to ensure compatibility between LiteLLM's proxy layer and the Anthropic API when passing through advanced model parameters [1][4][5]. It effectively prioritizes preserving the requested thinking configuration over the user's pinned temperature [1][2][3].

site:docs.anthropic.com extended thinking temperature must be 1 API
💡 Result:
The premise that "extended thinking temperature must be 1" is incorrect. In fact, for many current Claude models—including Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5, and others—setting the temperature parameter to any non-default value will return a 400 error when thinking is enabled or used [1][2][3]. On models where extended thinking is used, the following rules generally apply regarding temperature and sampling parameters: 1. Incompatible with Thinking: On newer models (e.g., Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5), setting non-default values for temperature, top_p, or top_k returns a 400 error regardless of whether thinking is active [1][2]. 2. Restricted Usage: On older models that support manual extended thinking, temperature and top_k are typically incompatible with the thinking feature [1]. If you attempt to use them while thinking is enabled, the API will return an error [1]. 3. Default Behavior: To ensure successful API requests, you should omit temperature, top_p, and top_k parameters when using models that support or require extended/adaptive thinking [2][3]. The model will then use its default behavior [2]. In summary, you cannot set the temperature to 1 (or any other value) if it differs from the model's default when using thinking features; doing so will likely cause your request to fail [1][2].

LiteLLM modify_params thinking temperature Anthropic completion 1.83.14
💡 Result:
In LiteLLM, setting litellm.modify_params = True is a configuration that enables automatic sanitization and adjustment of request parameters to ensure compatibility between OpenAI-style API requests and specific provider requirements, such as those for Anthropic models [1][2]. When using Anthropic models with extended thinking, this setting performs specific logic to prevent API errors [3][4][5]: 1. Thinking Parameter Handling: If a request includes the thinking parameter but the assistant's message containing tool calls is missing the required thinking_blocks (a common issue when using OpenAI-compatible clients that do not natively support thinking), LiteLLM will automatically drop the thinking parameter for that specific turn [3][4][5]. This prevents Anthropic from rejecting the request with an error like "Expected thinking or redacted_thinking, but found tool_use" [3][5]. 2. Important Caveat: LiteLLM only drops the thinking parameter if no assistant messages in the conversation contain thinking_blocks [5]. If any assistant message has thinking_blocks, the parameter is preserved to avoid triggering an error stating that an assistant message cannot contain thinking when the feature is disabled [5][6]. 3. Reasoning Effort Mapping: Separately, LiteLLM maps the OpenAI reasoning_effort parameter to Anthropic's thinking configuration (e.g., mapping "low", "medium", or "high" to specific budget_tokens for adaptive thinking) [7][8][9]. When reasoning_effort is provided, LiteLLM automatically enables thinking for supported models [7]. Version 1.83.14 includes various refinements to Anthropic integration, such as normalizing reasoning effort and handling specific API edge cases [10]. Users are generally advised to enable modify_params=True when working with tools and thinking modes to ensure automatic handling of these incompatibilities [4].

Drop temperature when enabling Anthropic thinking. _build_completion_params adds thinking but retains temperature from self.temperature or an override. LiteLLM 1.83.14-stable does not remove this conflicting temperature when modify_params=True. Anthropic can reject the request with a 400 error. If thinking is enabled, remove temperature before calling LiteLLM.

LiteLLM 1.83.14 Gemini 3 thinking budget_tokens type enabled thinking_level translation
💡 Result:
In LiteLLM version 1.83.14, the handling of Gemini 3 models differs significantly from legacy models due to the shift from a token-based thinking_budget to a granular thinking_level parameter [1][2][3]. Thinking Configuration in LiteLLM for Gemini 3: - Thinking Level vs. Budget: Gemini 3 models utilize thinking_level instead of the older thinking_budget [1][4][5]. When you pass Anthropic-style configuration like thinking={"type": "enabled", "budget_tokens": 1024}, LiteLLM for Gemini 3+ models ignores the token budget and instead maps the request based on provider defaults or specific reasoning_effort settings [6][4]. - Reasoning Effort Mapping: LiteLLM automatically maps the standard OpenAI reasoning_effort parameter to Gemini's thinking_level [1][4]. - minimal: Maps to minimal (or low depending on model family) [1][4][7]. - low: Maps to low [1][4]. - medium: Maps to medium (or high if medium is unsupported by the specific model) [1][4][7]. - high: Maps to high [1][4]. - disable/none: These do not fully disable thinking in Gemini 3; they map to the lowest available thinking_level (usually minimal or low) with thoughts hidden (includeThoughts: false) [6][4][7]. - Default Behavior: If reasoning_effort is omitted, LiteLLM does not force a thinking_level, allowing the Gemini API to apply its native defaults [6][4][5]. - Legacy Behavior: If you require the legacy behavior (forcing thinking_level="low" for Pro models or minimal for Flash models), you can enable it globally in your code: litellm.enable_gemini_default_thinking_level_low = True [6] Version 1.83.14 includes specific documentation updates and PR merges (e.g., #25842) to ensure the thinking_level mappings are correctly aligned for Gemini 3+ models [2][3][8].

Use Gemini 3's reasoning_effort mapping.
resolve_reasoning_params sends Gemini 3 models an Anthropic-style thinking object with budget_tokens. LiteLLM 1.83.14 uses Gemini 3's categorical thinking_level and does not use this token budget. The configured effort can therefore fall back to Gemini defaults. Return the Gemini-compatible reasoning_effort mapping instead.

Propagate thinking_budget to YAML and profiled execution paths.
Lines 1284-1300 restore the budget, but _run_from_file, _run_from_file_profiled, and _run_prompt_profiled do not receive or apply it. A resumed YAML or --profile run therefore silently uses the default effort. The same drop also affects explicit --thinking on these paths.
Thread thinking_budget through these functions. Set it on the YAML args object or the constructed Agent before execution. Add regression tests for resumed YAML and profiled runs.
