When does this happen?

IF Using an Ollama model that emits a 'thinking' field in streaming response chunks causes LiteLLM to raise an APIConnectionError because the chunk parser is not designed to handle that field.

How others solved it

THEN Temporarily disable streaming by setting stream=False in the completion call to avoid the parsing error until a permanent fix is available. For a permanent resolution, apply the changes from PR #13375, which updates the Ollama chunk parser to accept the 'thinking' key and similar non-standard fields.

response = litellm.completion(model='gpt-oss:120b', messages=messages, stream=False)
