# Reasoning Field Standardization
## Issue
DeepSeek uses `"reasoning_content"` field while OpenAI uses `"reasoning"` field in their chat completion streaming responses. This inconsistency caused confusion about what field name to use in the g4f Interference API.
## Decision
**Standardized on OpenAI's `"reasoning"` field format for API output while maintaining input compatibility.**
## Rationale
1. **OpenAI Compatibility**: OpenAI is the de facto standard for chat completion APIs
2. **Ecosystem Compatibility**: Most tools and libraries expect OpenAI format
3. **Consistency**: Provides a unified output format regardless of the underlying provider
4. **Backward Compatibility**: Input parsing continues to accept both formats
## Implementation
### Input Format Support (Unchanged)
The system continues to accept both input formats in `OpenaiTemplate.py`:
```python
reasoning_content = choice.get("delta", {}).get("reasoning_content", choice.get("delta", {}).get("reasoning"))
```
### Output Format Standardization (Changed)
- **Streaming Delta**: Uses `reasoning` field (OpenAI format)
- **Non-streaming Message**: Uses `reasoning` field (OpenAI format)
- **API Responses**: Should use standard OpenAI streaming format
### Example Output Formats
#### Streaming Response (OpenAI Compatible)
```json
{
"id": "chatcmpl-example",
"object": "chat.completion.chunk",
"choices": [{
"index": 0,
"delta": {
"role": "assistant",
"reasoning": "I need to think about this step by step..."
},
"finish_reason": null
}]
}
```
#### Non-streaming Response
```json
{
"choices": [{
"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Here's my answer",
"reasoning": "My reasoning process was..."
}
}]
}
```
## Files Changed
- `g4f/client/stubs.py`: Updated to use `reasoning` field instead of `reasoning_content`
## Testing
- Added comprehensive tests for format standardization
- Verified input compatibility with both OpenAI and DeepSeek formats
- Confirmed no regressions in existing functionality
