Overview

/v1/responses accepted include: ["message.output_text.logprobs"] and top_logprobs but always returned "logprobs": [] and "top_logprobs": 0. Clients following the OpenAI Responses spec now receive per-token scores on output_text, in streaming and non-streaming form.

Key Changes

Core logic: about 95 added lines (Rust), excluding tests and comments.

• lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/responses/mod.rs: the Responses→chat conversion sets logprobs: true and an explicit top_logprobs (default 0) when include requests scores, and no longer forwards top_logprobs alone, which chat rejects without logprobs: true. Chat token records map onto output_text.logprobs; the response echoes the requested top_logprobs.
• lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/responses/stream_converter.rs: each response.output_text.delta carries the scores received since the previous delta; scores from chunks that show no text (reasoning, tool calls, a trailing EOS or score-only chunk) ride on the next delta or on output_text.done, so every backend score reaches the client once, in order.
• lib/llm/src/http/service/openai.rs: ResponseParams carries the requested top_logprobs.

Validation

Case	Before	After
include + top_logprobs: 15, converted chat request	logprobs: None, top_logprobs: 15 (SGLang 400: logprobs must be true)	logprobs: true, top_logprobs: 15
include without top_logprobs	top_logprobs: None → chat default 1	top_logprobs: 0
top_logprobs without include	forwarded	not forwarded; response still echoes it
Non-streaming with chat scores	output_text.logprobs: [], top_logprobs: 0	entries with token, logprob, bytes, top_logprobs; top_logprobs echoed
Streaming: reasoning A, text B, text C, finish, late score D	all []	delta [A,B], delta [C], done [A,B,C,D], completed output [A,B,C,D]
No include, chat scores present	[]	[] (unchanged)
GPU e2e, Qwen3-0.6B on vLLM (1×B200), this PR's CI image, non-stream	[], top_logprobs: 0	11 entries == usage.output_tokens == chat logprobs.content for the same deterministic request, token for token
GPU e2e, same request, stream	[]	10 deltas carry 10 scores; output_text.done and the completed output carry 11 (the hidden EOS score arrives after the last delta)

Tests added at three levels:

• Unit (responses/mod.rs, responses/stream_converter.rs): include_logprobs_enables_chat_logprobs, included_logprobs_map_onto_output_text, requested_logprobs_ride_on_text_deltas_and_done, boundary_chunk_scores_stay_with_their_message, logprobs_stay_empty_without_include.
• Integration (lib/llm/tests/responses_http_replay.rs, new fixture text-logprobs.sse): unary_text_logprobs_reach_output_text, streaming_text_logprobs_ride_on_deltas_and_done replay a scored chat stream through the HTTP service.
• End to end (tests/serve/test_vllm.py, aggregated_logprobs): ResponsesPayloadWithLogprobs and ResponsesStreamPayloadWithLogprobs run next to the chat and completion logprobs payloads on Qwen3-0.6B (core, gpu_1, post_merge).

The 178 responses lib tests, the 30 responses_http_replay tests, rustfmt and strict Clippy ran with --no-default-features on a CPU host. The serve test ran on a B200 with this PR's vllm-runtime CI image: non-streaming 38 entries == usage.output_tokens; streaming 37 scores on deltas plus the EOS score on output_text.done, 38 total. The GPU rows above come from the same image deployed as a DynamoGraphDeployment and checked with a stdlib client; the top_logprobs: 21 request echoed 20, and a request without include kept empty arrays.

Responses has no logprobs slot on reasoning or function_call items, so their tokens' scores ride on the text part, as chat V2 already documents for logprobs.content. A tool-only response with no text part drops its scores.

Issues and Ongoing Work

• Fixes [BUG] Responses API drops requested logprobs and resets top_logprobs #18095 (DGH-2414). Responses API returns empty logprobs when include: message.output_text.logprobs is requested #18107 was filed in parallel and closed as a duplicate.
• [BUG] Responses API drops requested logprobs and resets top_logprobs #18095 mentions a downstream Kimi K3.1 candidate fix with GPU validation outstanding; no PR for it exists on main.
• Builds on fix(frontend): preserve chat token IDs and EOS logprobs #17586, which made chat logprobs complete and ordered on the V1/V2 parser routes Responses shares.

Walkthrough

The Responses API now forwards requested output-text logprob settings to Chat Completions. Non-streaming and streaming conversions map returned token scores into Responses output and preserve the requested top_logprobs count.

Changes

Responses API logprobs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Request settings and response parameters lib/llm/src/http/service/openai.rs, lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/responses/mod.rs	Request conversion enables backend logprobs only when the include option requests output-text logprobs. ResponseParams retains the requested top_logprobs value.
Non-streaming score mapping lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/responses/mod.rs	Non-streaming conversion maps returned token scores to output text and echoes the requested count. Tests cover request conversion and response mapping.
Streaming score mapping lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/responses/stream_converter.rs	The stream converter queues scores and includes them in text events and reconstructed output. Tests cover score ordering, final events, and echoed counts.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to c390f

Streaming Responses requests that ask for output-text logprobs can lose the scores attached to the final chunk of a message, which is the case the linked issue cares about. Requests with top_logprobs above 20 report a count different from the one the backend used. Fix the streaming boundary ordering before merging; the count mismatch is minor.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reported changes are limited to Responses request parameter propagation, Responses-to-Chat logprob conversion, streaming and non-streaming score mapping, and related tests. The ResponseParams change in lib/llm/src/http/service/openai.rs supports the requested response metadata. No unrelated change is identified.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The pull request description includes all required template sections: Overview, Key Changes, Validation, Issues and Ongoing Work, an issue reference, and the checklist. It provides detailed implementation, test, and validation information. The supplied objectives contain conflicting information about GPU validation, but the description itself is complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #18095 requires scoring when message.output_text.logprobs is included, preservation of top_logprobs, score records in streaming and non-streaming responses, and explicit rejection of unsupported scoring requests. The supplied change summary shows the first three objectives: it enables chat logprobs, carries top_logprobs, maps scores, and carries late scores to output_text.done. However, it also states that a tool-only response with no text part drops scores. This silently loses requested score data instead of rejecting the unsupported case. The reported CPU tests do not establish compliance with that requirement.

Resolution

Reject an included logprob request when the response cannot represent the scores, including the documented tool-only case, instead of silently dropping the scores. Add an automated regression test for the rejection and retain coverage for max-output-token termination.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 54.55% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 11 functions across 3 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Review comments at @lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/responses/mod.rs:
- Line 1504: Update the top_logprobs effective-count helper and
convert_top_logprobs so a requested count above the supported limit is either
rejected or consistently reported as the capped effective count in both response
modes. Preserve the documented end-to-end behavior and ensure the helper never
reports 21 when conversion sends 20.

Review comments at @lib/llm/src/protocols/openai/responses/stream_converter.rs:
- Around line 582-589: Update the stream handling around MessageBoundary::End so
content logprobs are added to pending_logprobs before the ending message closes
and drains the buffer. Skip the normal per-choice queueing for that boundary to
avoid duplicating scores; preserve existing queueing for other boundaries. Add a
regression test verifying the ending message’s scores appear in
output_text.logprobs in both streamed output_text.done and the final response.
