- reasoning_effort was forwarded only to IDs matching gpt-5 or the o-series, so
GPT-6 models silently dropped the configured effort; match GPT-5 and later,
with a version boundary so unrelated IDs do not match
- Gemini Pro, 3.8+ and the -latest aliases reject thinking_level "minimal"
with a 400; send it only to numbered Flash models before 3.8 and map it to
"low" elsewhere, since aliases move between generations
- some model/gateway combinations emit unbounded reasoning/output and hang or
trip an idle timeout (e.g. some deepseek-v4-flash deployments)
- add an opt-in max_tokens config knob + TRADINGAGENTS_MAX_TOKENS, forwarded to
every provider when set (Gemini takes it as max_output_tokens); int-coerced,
rejects non-positive/boolean values #1204
- Local servers (LM Studio, vLLM) reject the object-form tool_choice langchain
sends for function calling. The generic openai_compatible provider now binds
the schema as a tool without forcing tool_choice.
- A structured call can return no parsed result (a thinking model answering in
plain text); fall back to free text with a clear reason instead of an opaque
render error.
Interactive selections and flag defaults overrode TRADINGAGENTS_* env vars.
Rule: an explicit env value or CLI flag wins; otherwise the env-applied
default is kept.
- Research depth: skip the prompt when both round-count env vars are set, and
stop overwriting them (#977).
- Checkpoint: --checkpoint/--no-checkpoint is tri-state; omitting it keeps
TRADINGAGENTS_CHECKPOINT_ENABLED (#976).
- Docker ollama: use TRADINGAGENTS_LLM_PROVIDER + OLLAMA_BASE_URL, not a bare
LLM_PROVIDER the overlay never reads (#975).
- Reasoning/thinking knobs: settable via env; the prompt is skipped when set.
- Effort gating: forward effort only to models that accept it (Anthropic
Opus 4.5+/Sonnet 4.6+, OpenAI reasoning models); drop it elsewhere.
- Boolean env values: raise a named error on invalid input instead of
silently becoming False.
The Responses API exists only on native OpenAI. When the openai provider is
pointed at a custom base_url (a proxy, gateway, or local server that speaks only
Chat Completions), keep the Responses API off so the call does not fail.
Each is a one-row entry in the OpenAI-compatible provider registry (base_url,
key env, CLI option); the model is user-specified since they serve many models.
The OpenAI-compatible family (openai, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, MiniMax,
OpenRouter, Ollama) all speak the same Chat Completions API and differ only by
base_url, key, and two narrow wire-format quirks already isolated in subclasses.
Replace the scattered base-URL dict, key handling, and client-class branches with
one ProviderSpec registry that get_llm and the factory drive off; provider quirks
stay in their subclasses. Add a generic "openai_compatible" provider for any
OpenAI-compatible server (vLLM, LM Studio, llama.cpp, relays) via backend_url +
optional key — adding a provider is now one registry row. Native Anthropic/Google
keep their own clients (genuinely different APIs). Also fixes the env backend URL
being ignored when the provider was chosen interactively (#978).
Adds a cross-provider temperature config (and TRADINGAGENTS_TEMPERATURE),
forwarded to every LLM client when set, so runs can be made less variable
on models that honor it. Adds a README "Reproducibility" section that
separates the sources of run-to-run variation, what users can control
(temperature, non-reasoning model, pinned date), and what is inherent to
LLM-driven analysis, and notes that the identity and verified-data fixes
already removed the "different companies / fabricated prices" variance.
#178#168
MinimaxChatOpenAI unconditionally set reasoning_split=True, but the
kwarg is only valid on M2.x reasoning models. The openai SDK's strict
kwarg validation raised TypeError for Coding Plan and any other non-
reasoning MiniMax model.
Adds requires_reasoning_split to ModelCapabilities, gates the payload
injection on it, and only sets True for _MINIMAX_THINKING (M2.x exact
IDs and the ^MiniMax-M\d forward-compat pattern). Same shape as the
existing supports_tool_choice gate.
Regression tests cover both halves: M2.x models still receive the flag,
non-reasoning MiniMax models do not.
OLLAMA_BASE_URL now flows through both the CLI dropdown and the
programmatic client (call-time evaluation so tests behave). After
provider selection, the CLI prints the resolved endpoint and marks
when it came from the env var, plus a soft warning when the URL is
missing a scheme or non-default port. Drops the stale "(local)"
suffix from Ollama model labels since the endpoint is now dynamic.
Adds a canonical PROVIDER_API_KEY_ENV mapping (14 providers including
the three dual-region pairs) and an ensure_api_key() helper. When the
selected provider's key is absent from the environment, the CLI prompts
via questionary.password, writes the value to .env via python-dotenv's
set_key (preserves existing lines), and exports it into os.environ so
the run continues without restart. Wired into cli/main.py right after
the region prompts so qwen-cn, glm-cn, and minimax-cn each check their
own region-specific key. openai_client refactored to consult the same
mapping, eliminating its private duplicate of provider→env-var data.
Zhipu serves GLM under two brands with separate accounts (Z.AI
international vs BigModel China); the CLI URL pointed at one while
the openai_client default pointed at the other. Split into glm +
glm-cn with secondary region prompt (same UX as Qwen + MiniMax).
Catalog adds glm-5-turbo and glm-4.5-air per docs.z.ai.
M2.x tool_choice is enum-only (none/auto), so route through the
no-tool_choice dispatch. MinimaxChatOpenAI injects reasoning_split
so <think> blocks stay out of content. Catalog rounded out to the
full official M2.x lineup plus forward-compat regex.
- dataflows/config: deepcopy + one-level dict merge so a partial
set_config doesn't clobber sibling defaults
- graph: thread max_recur_limit from config to Propagator
- openai_client: name the missing env var in the API-key error
#788#764#680
Two regional endpoints (global api.minimax.io, China api.minimaxi.com)
with separate API keys. Models M2.7 / M2.5 plus -highspeed variants,
204K context. Follows the existing provider-preset pattern.
#789#609#577#546#395#378
DeepSeek V4 and reasoner reject tool_choice but accept tools.
Route via a per-model capability table that suppresses tool_choice
for thinking-mode models.
#678#689
Resolves#599: thinking-mode models require reasoning_content to be
echoed back across turns; multi-turn agent runs failed with HTTP 400.
The fix isolates DeepSeek's quirks (reasoning_content round-trip and
the deepseek-reasoner no-tool_choice limitation) into a subclass so
the general OpenAI-compatible client stays untouched. Adds DeepSeek
V4 Pro/Flash to the catalog. 9 new tests; rationale documented in
the class docstrings.
Design adapted from #600; #611 closed in favour of this approach.
This release bundles substantial work since v0.2.3:
- Structured-output Research Manager, Trader, and Portfolio Manager
(canonical with_structured_output pattern, single LLM call per agent,
rendered markdown preserves the existing report shape).
- LangGraph checkpoint resume for crash recovery (--checkpoint flag).
- Persistent decision log replacing the per-agent BM25 memory, with
deferred reflection driven by yfinance returns + alpha vs SPY.
- DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, and Azure OpenAI provider support; dynamic
OpenRouter model selection.
- Docker support; cache and logs moved to ~/.tradingagents/ to fix
Docker permission issues.
- Windows UTF-8 encoding fix on every file I/O site.
- 5-tier rating consistency (Buy / Overweight / Hold / Underweight / Sell)
across Research Manager, Portfolio Manager, signal processor, memory log.
Plus the small quality items in this commit:
1. Suppress noisy Pydantic serializer warnings from OpenAI Responses-API
parse path by defaulting structured-output to method="function_calling"
(root-cause fix, not a warnings filter — same typed result, no warnings).
2. Ship scripts/smoke_structured_output.py so contributors can verify
their provider's structured-output path with one command.
3. Add opt-in memory_log_max_entries config — when set, oldest resolved
memory log entries are pruned once the cap is exceeded; pending
entries (unresolved) are never pruned.
4. backend_url default changed from the OpenAI URL to None so the
per-provider client falls back to its native endpoint instead of
leaking OpenAI's URL into Gemini / other clients.
CHANGELOG.md added with the full v0.2.4 entry. 92 tests pass without API keys.
- Point requirements.txt to pyproject.toml as single source of truth
- Resolve welcome.txt path relative to module for CLI portability
- Include cli/static files in package build
- Extract shared normalize_content for OpenAI Responses API and
Gemini 3 list-format responses into base_client.py
- Update README install and CLI usage instructions
Enable use_responses_api for native OpenAI provider, which supports
reasoning_effort with function tools across all model families.
Removes the UnifiedChatOpenAI subclass workaround.
