Summary

Mirrors the Responses-path fix from #3185 in the parallel chat-completions
path. OpenAIChatCompletionsModel._fetch_response builds create_kwargs
where many fields go through _non_null_or_omit(...) and become the
OpenAI omit sentinel when the user did not set them. The duplicate-key
check then incorrectly counted those omitted entries as collisions with
ModelSettings.extra_args, raising:

TypeError: chat.completions.create() got multiple values for keyword argument '<key>'

even though the first-class field was never explicitly set. As a result,
users could not legitimately route fields like reasoning_effort through
extra_args while leaving model_settings.reasoning unset.

This patch ports the same one-clause filter introduced for Responses in
#3185: skip duplicate-detection on keys whose create_kwargs value is
the OpenAI Omit/NotGiven sentinel, and only raise when both the
first-class field and extra_args actually carry a value. The companion
_is_openai_omitted_value helper is defined locally for parity with
openai_responses.py.

Test plan

  • make format
  • make lint
  • uv run mypy src/agents/models/openai_chatcompletions.py tests/models/test_openai_chatcompletions.py
  • uv run pytest tests/models/test_openai_chatcompletions.py -q
  • New regression tests:
    • tests/models/test_openai_chatcompletions.py::test_fetch_response_chat_completions_allows_extra_arg_when_explicit_arg_is_omitted — supplies extra_args={\"reasoning_effort\": \"high\"} while model_settings.reasoning is unset; the underlying chat.completions.create(**kwargs) call now receives reasoning_effort=\"high\" instead of failing with a spurious duplicate-argument error.
    • tests/models/test_openai_chatcompletions.py::test_fetch_response_chat_completions_rejects_duplicate_extra_args_keys — supplies temperature=0.5 together with extra_args={\"temperature\": 0.7}; the legitimate duplicate is still rejected with the original TypeError.

Issue number

N/A — parity follow-up to #3185.

Checks

  • I've added new tests (if relevant)
  • I've added/updated the relevant documentation
  • I've run `make lint` and `make format`
  • I've made sure tests pass where not blocked by unrelated local-only failures

Mirror the Responses-path fix from openai#3185: when a key in
ModelSettings.extra_args matches an entry in create_kwargs whose value
is the OpenAI omit/NotGiven sentinel, the user has not actually set the
first-class field, so the duplicate-detection check should let the
extra_args entry through instead of raising TypeError.

Adds two regression tests mirroring tests/models/test_openai_responses.py:
one that succeeds when only extra_args supplies a key whose first-class
value is omitted, and one that still rejects a true duplicate where both
the first-class field and extra_args set the same key.

Can you fix the issue pointed out by Codex and add sufficient tests for covering the pattern?

@seratch seratch removed this from the 0.17.x milestone May 8, 2026
Codex review noted that the previous duplicate-key filter — which ignores
create_kwargs entries whose value is the OpenAI omit sentinel — also lets
`extra_args={"stream": True}` slip through on the non-streaming path.
`get_response()` pins `create_kwargs["stream"]` to omit when stream=False
and then expects a `ChatCompletion`; if extra_args overrode it to True the
client would return an async stream that the non-streaming code path
cannot consume.

Mark `stream` as a reserved key that must always trigger duplicate-key
detection regardless of its current sentinel value. Other create_kwargs
slots (`reasoning_effort`, `tool_choice`, etc.) keep the omit-aware
behavior, so legitimate fall-through via extra_args still works.

Add two regression tests:
- extra_args={"stream": True} with stream=False must raise TypeError
- extra_args={"stream": False} with stream=True must raise TypeError

Thanks for the review @seratch and @codex. You're right — the previous filter let extra_args={"stream": True} slip through on the non-streaming path because get_response() pins create_kwargs["stream"] to the OpenAI omit sentinel, which the duplicate-key check was treating as "no value present".

Fixed in 4a5f382 by marking stream as a reserved key that always triggers duplicate-key detection, regardless of whether the SDK currently passes it as omit or as a real value. Other create_kwargs slots (e.g. reasoning_effort, tool_choice) keep the omit-aware behavior so legitimate fall-through via extra_args still works.

Added two regression tests in tests/models/test_openai_chatcompletions.py:

  • extra_args={"stream": True} with stream=False (non-streaming get_response) → TypeError
  • extra_args={"stream": False} with stream=True (streaming) → TypeError

Verified make format, make lint, focused mypy, and pytest tests/models/test_openai_chatcompletions.py all pass locally.

Gentle bump on this @seratch — fix pushed 2026-05-09, codex re-review came back clean ('Didn't find any major issues'). Happy to rebase against current main if useful. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like changed before merge.
