Parameters by Upstream
Some request fields do not mean the same thing everywhere. This page states what the gateway does with each one on the way to each provider - passed through, translated into the provider's own equivalent, or dropped.
This is not a list of every accepted field; each endpoint page documents its own request body. Listed here are the fields where supported is not a yes or no, because the answer changes with the provider your model runs on.

| You call | Upstream | Behaviour | Descrição |
|---|---|---|---|
/v1/chat/completions | OpenAI-compatible (GPT, GLM, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi…) | repassado | Forwarded to the provider as sent - the gateway neither validates the value nor guarantees the provider honours it. Commonly minimal, low, medium and high, but the accepted set is the provider's: OpenAI also takes none, GLM takes up to max. |
/v1/chat/completions | Google Vertex - Gemini 3.x | convertido | Becomes Gemini's thinkingLevel: none and minimal both map to minimal, low/medium/high map straight across. An explicit google.thinking_config in the request wins over this mapping. |
/v1/chat/completions | Google Vertex - Gemini 2.5 | descartado | Gemini 2.5 only understands thinkingBudget and rejects thinkingLevel outright, so the gateway sends neither and leaves the model at its default thinking behaviour. Use google.thinking_config with thinking_budget to control 2.5. |
/v1/chat/completions | Anthropic (Claude) | convertido | Becomes Anthropic thinking. none and minimal turn thinking off ({"type":"disabled"}); low/medium/high/xhigh/max become a budget of 2,048 / 8,192 / 16,384 / 32,768 tokens - the inverse of the bucket mapping used in the other direction. A derived budget is clamped to stay below max_tokens, and is skipped entirely when max_tokens cannot fit Anthropic's 1,024-token minimum, so asking for effort never turns a working request into an upstream 400. |
/v1/messages | OpenAI-compatible (GPT, GLM, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi…) | convertido | Derived from thinking.budget_tokens by bucket, when extended thinking is enabled and the budget is above zero: up to 2,048 tokens becomes low, up to 8,192 becomes medium, above that becomes high. A zero or absent budget sends nothing. |
/v1/responses | OpenAI-compatible (GPT, GLM, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi…) | convertido | Read out of the Responses-API reasoning.effort object and sent as the flat reasoning_effort field. |
thinking / thinking_budget / enable_thinking
| You call | Upstream | Behaviour | Descrição |
|---|---|---|---|
/v1/chat/completions | Anthropic (Claude) | convertido | These are other vendors' names for the same dial, and the gateway normalises them. thinking:{"type":"disabled"}, enable_thinking:false and thinking_budget:0 all turn thinking off; thinking_budget:N and thinking:{"type":"enabled","budget_tokens":N} pass the budget through unchanged - an out-of-range value is rejected by the upstream rather than silently adjusted. thinking:{"type":"adaptive"} is left to the upstream. |
/v1/chat/completions | Google Vertex - Gemini 3.x | convertido | Normalised into thinkingConfig: turning thinking off becomes thinkingLevel:"minimal", and an explicit budget becomes thinkingBudget. An explicit google.thinking_config in the request still wins over all of it. |
/v1/chat/completions | Google Vertex - Gemini 2.5 | convertido | Normalised into thinkingConfig.thinkingBudget - turning thinking off sends a budget of 0, and an explicit budget passes through. thinkingLevel is not used here because 2.5 rejects it. An explicit google.thinking_config in the request still wins. |
Every row is transcribed from the converter that implements it and pinned by a Go test, so this table cannot drift from the running gateway without a build failing.
