Struct OpenAIRequest 

pub struct OpenAIRequest {
    pub model: String,
    pub messages: Vec<OpenAIMessage>,
    pub stream: bool,
    pub max_tokens: Option<u32>,
    pub temperature: Option<f32>,
    pub tools: Option<Vec<Value>>,
}

An OpenAI chat-completions request.

Optional fields are omitted when unset. The client also uses this as its internal request representation before translating to Anthropic at the transport boundary.

Fields

model: String

Model identifier (e.g., “gpt-4”, “qwen2.5-32b-instruct”).

messages: Vec<OpenAIMessage>

Conversation history as a sequence of messages.

Includes system prompt, user messages, assistant responses, and tool results. Order matters - messages are processed sequentially.

stream: bool

Whether to stream the response.

The SDK sets this to true to request SSE responses. Streaming allows incremental processing of responses rather than waiting for the entire completion.

max_tokens: Option<u32>

Maximum tokens to generate (optional).

None uses the provider’s default. Some providers require this to be set explicitly.

temperature: Option<f32>

Sampling temperature (optional).

None uses the provider’s default. Controls randomness in generation.

tools: Option<Vec<Value>>

Tools/functions available to the model (optional).

When present, enables function calling. Each tool is described with a JSON schema defining its parameters. None means no tools are available.
