When does this happen?
IF When using LiteLLM SDK to connect to an OpenAI-compatible provider (including another LiteLLM proxy) and passing the 'thinking' parameter via 'allowed_openai_params', the SDK passes it as a keyword argument to the underlying OpenAI client, causing an APIError.
How others solved it
THEN Instead of using 'allowed_openai_params', pass the 'thinking' parameter inside the 'extra_body' dictionary in the request payload. For example, set kwargs["extra_body"] = {"thinking": {"type": "disabled"}} in the request. This bypasses the parameter validation and passes the argument correctly to upstream providers.
payload = {
"model": "openai/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
"stream": True,
"extra_body": {"thinking": {"type": "disabled", "budget_tokens": 0}}
}
response_stream = await litellm.acompletion(**payload)Related patterns
