`provider_blocks` means something only to the surface that produced them (Anthropic `thinking` / server-tool blocks). A session that switched surface would otherwise send those dicts to a chat-completions provider as an assistant-message key it does not know; the request normalization drops the field, on a copy, so the history keeps it.
DeepSeek's Anthropic compat answers a hosted search inside the turn: the response carries the `thinking` that picked the query, the `server_tool_use`, and the `web_search_tool_result`. The response mapping kept text and tool_use only, so the round lost its evidence — and the `thinking` signature, which only the provider can verify, could not go back at all. `AssistantChatMessage.provider_blocks` carries those blocks as raw JSON now (`thinking` text *and* signature, the query, the result entries with an `encrypted_content` the API rejects when trimmed) and the assistant turn hands them back first, ahead of its text and tool_use blocks; `thinking` also lands in `reasoning_content`, so the chain of thought streams as reasoning like every other surface's.
`AnthropicRawContentBlock` names the provider fields a streamed block carries, and `AnthropicServerToolUseContent` keeps the `caller` metadata the wire sends.
DeepSeek runs ``web_search`` inside a turn — the request declares the server
tool, the response carries a ``server_tool_use`` per query and the
``web_search_tool_result`` it produced — so a search is one ``/messages`` call
whose hits are read out of the content blocks. The turn stops as soon as it has
searched (a live probe with 64 output tokens spent all of them before the search
and returned nothing, 512 answers with the hits).
Hits carry a title, a URL and an ``encrypted_content`` only the index can read,
so the hit list is all a caller gets: the page bodies stay server-side.
``omit_defaults`` dropped the block's defaulted discriminator, and a request
that carried thinking was answered with 422 "thinking: missing field ``type``" —
which is what the compat sent for any configured ``reasoning_effort``. The field
has no default now, so it always encodes (both call sites pass it).
DeepSeek's Anthropic compat runs a hosted ``web_search`` itself and answers with
the blocks that search produced — ``thinking``, ``server_tool_use`` (the query)
and ``web_search_tool_result`` — so the content union that knew only text and
tool_use could not decode a live search turn. It carries them now, ``tools``
accepts the opaque server-tool dicts the surface declares, and
``web_search_tool_result.content`` stays loose on purpose: its
``web_search_result`` entries hold an ``encrypted_content`` the API demands back
unchanged (a trimmed result is answered with 422 "missing field
``encrypted_content``").
``provider_tools`` reached only the Responses surface, and the Anthropic one
wants its own definition of the same intent: a bare ``web_search`` becomes
``{type="web_search_20250305", name="web_search"}`` (the server tool Claude
declares and DeepSeek's compat reads, keeping a ``max_uses`` cap or any other
key), merged after the local function tools.
Such a tool is the server's: it streams ``input_json_delta`` fragments like a
call, and reading them as one asked the registry for a tool the server had
already run. Block types are now tracked, so only a ``tool_use`` block becomes a
tool call; the search blocks and ``thinking`` are skipped by the response
mapping (the answer the model wrote already used them) and never executed.
Thinking mode checks the field per round, not per call: an answer whose message
carried no `reasoning_content` came back 400 with the wording a call gets ("the
`reasoning_content` … must be passed back to the API"), while an empty string
satisfies the check. The injection now touches every assistant message instead
of only the ones carrying `tool_calls`.
DeepSeek dropped the `v4` prefix from its flash model, and the old id stays
valid only as a compatibility alias. Seed the default catalog with the current
name so a provider that omits `models` no longer offers a deprecated id, and
follow the rename in the wire fixtures and the minimal config template. An
explicit `deepseek-v4-flash` in TOML still passes through unchanged.
niquests exposes content as an async property; reading it without await
left a coroutine warning and skipped the body. Only load body on HTTP
errors for streams so SSE is not consumed early.
Previously DONE was skipped with continue, so keep-alive connections
could hang forever after the model finished. Also fail fast on HTTP
error statuses for stream and non-stream completions.
