Description

Problem

SMG has no provider profile for z.ai's GLM models, so a GLM-5.3-Flash request is validated against the OpenAI baseline only. The z.ai golden set in providers-verifier (golden/zai/glm-5.3-flash/, recorded 2026-09-22 with the native and the OpenAI SDK) shows where the vendor's contract differs, and a replay of that set against an SMG gateway found the gaps: thinking.type=disabled and reasoning_effort: none are accepted with the raw reasoning leaking into content, unknown efforts (turbo) and unknown tool types (retrieval) are accepted and ignored, thinking.clear_thinking is silently dropped, and a max_tokens no window can hold is accepted where the vendor answers 4xx.

Solution

A ProviderProfile::Zai, selected for any /-separated model id segment starting with glm, zai or z-ai (glm-5.3-flash, zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash, /models/glm-4.7; ChatGLM predates the contract and stays on the baseline), following the Kimi and MiniMax pattern. As the Kimi profile pins K3 alone, the thinking rules (cannot be disabled, efforts low|high|max) apply only to the GLM-5.3 series (is_glm53: GLM-5.3, glm-5.3-flash, glm5.3-air), which docs.z.ai documents as the one series that "can only be enabled"; GLM-5.2 takes disabled and maps the other efforts, earlier generations take every value. The sampling defaults go to the models the same page lists them for (GLM-5.x, GLM-4.7, GLM-4.6; GLM-4.5 and older differ and keep the engine's own). The vendor-level rules (tool_stream, clear_thinking, tool types, file_url, the output budget) apply to every z.ai model. What the vendor does, and what the profile encodes:

Request z.ai SMG before SMG now
thinking.type: disabled 400 (documented as unsupported on the 5.3 series) 200, reasoning leaks 400 thinking_disabled_not_supported (GLM-5.3 series)
thinking.type: adaptive not a z.ai value 200 400 thinking_type_not_supported (every z.ai model)
reasoning_effort / thinking.effort in low, high, max 200 200 200
reasoning_effort none, minimal, medium, xhigh, or unknown, in either spelling (both are forwarded, so both are checked) 400 200 (ignored or leaking) 400 reasoning_effort_not_allowed (GLM-5.3 series)
thinking.clear_thinking: true/false 200, round-trips field dropped accepted; carried to the chat template as the clear_thinking kwarg, unless the client set that kwarg itself
tool_stream: true 200, streamed tool arguments 200, forwarded in the flattened other map accepted and consumed: SMG streams tool-call deltas regardless, and the engine never sees a field it does not know
temperature / top_p omitted 1 / 0.95 engine default 1 / 0.95 for GLM-5.x, 4.7, 4.6 (defaults only; an explicit value is kept)
out-of-range temperature, top_p, penalties 200, clamped silently 400 400 (kept: the OpenAI contract)
tools[].type: retrieval 400 200 (ignored) 400 tool_type_not_supported
max_tokens: 10_000_000 400 200 (engine caps) 400 context_length_exceeded when the selected worker advertises a window (gateway stage, z.ai only)
file_url content block 200 (vendor-side fetch) 400 as an unknown part at the gRPC stage 400 content_part_not_supported at validation, by name
tool_choice naming an undeclared tool, response_format.json_schema.schema non-object, stream_options without stream 200 400 400 (kept: SMG is stricter)
role: root 400 400 400

Two vendor behaviours observed but not encoded, because the recordings give no verified bound: six stop sequences are a 400 at z.ai (SMG keeps the OpenAI limit), and the vendor's clamping ranges for sampling are unknown.

Changes

  • crates/protocols/src/profile/zai.rs (new): defaults, clear_thinking → chat-template kwarg, tool_stream consumed, thinking/effort/tool-type/file_url rules, with the vendor contract documented at the top.
  • crates/protocols/src/profile/mod.rs: the Zai variant, model-id selection, dispatch.
  • crates/protocols/src/chat.rs: ThinkingParam.clear_thinking: Option<bool> (optional, additive; the OpenAPI spec and Python client types are regenerated by CI).
  • model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/common/stages/context_length.rs, pipeline.rs: enforce_output_budget, an OutputBudget step right after ContextLength, rejecting a z.ai chat request whose max_tokens exceeds the selected worker's advertised window; other profiles keep the engine's own policy (vLLM rejects at admission, SGLang clamps), as the input check already does for input + max_tokens. Like that input check it runs on the gRPC pipeline only and once at ingress (the HTTP router forwards the body, and a retry re-selection is not re-checked); widening both checks to the HTTP path and to retries is a follow-up, not this PR.

Test Plan

  • profile::zai::tests (13): defaults fill only omitted fields; glm53_thinking_rules_do_not_reach_other_generations (GLM-5.2, GLM-5 and GLM-4.6 ids keep thinking.type: disabled and reasoning_effort: none while adaptive, tool_stream and file_url rules still apply; glm-5.3 rejects disabled; is_glm53 matches GLM-5.3-Flash/glm-5.3/glm5.3-air but not glm-5.2/glm-5/glm-5.30/glm-4.6); vendor_sampling_defaults_follow_the_documented_models (GLM-5.x/4.7/4.6 get 1 / 0.95, GLM-4.5 and GLM-4 do not); each watched fail with the gate widened; disabled and adaptive rejected, enabled and absent accepted; low/high/max accepted from either spelling and none/minimal/medium/xhigh/ultra/turbo rejected; clear_thinking reaches the template kwargs without overriding an explicit kwarg; tool_stream consumed; retrieval tools rejected; a file_url part rejected by name while an image_url part passes; root rejected.
  • profile::tests::model_id_selects_profile extended with the z.ai ids, my-glm-alias and THUDM/chatglm3-6b staying on the baseline.
  • context_length::tests: a z.ai budget beyond the window (single and disaggregated legs) is a 400 context_length_exceeded; within the window, or with no window advertised, passes; other profiles are untouched. A mutation that drops the profile gate fails other_profiles_leave_the_budget_to_the_engine.
  • cargo test -p openai-protocol: 5 suites, 345 passed, 0 failed; cargo test -p smg: 29 suites, 2651 passed, 0 failed; cargo +nightly fmt --all clean; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean (without --all-features: no OpenCV here).
  • Not run here: the providers-verifier replay against a live GLM engine. Expected change on the params battery from the 2026-09-22 baseline: thinking_type_disabled, thinking_effort_none, param_reasoning_effort_invalid, param_tool_bad_type, param_max_tokens_huge and zai_file_url move from 200 to 4xx, matching the vendor's status class.

    • Reject z.ai requests that exceed known completion limits or have invalid configurations before processing.

Walkthrough

The change adds z.ai protocol support, provider selection, normalization, and validation. It refines thinking restrictions and sampling defaults by GLM model generation. It also adds gRPC validation for z.ai output budgets against selected-worker context limits.

Changes

z.ai provider support

Layer / File(s) Summary
z.ai profile and request contract
crates/protocols/src/chat.rs, crates/protocols/src/profile/mod.rs
ThinkingParam adds optional clear_thinking. GLM and z.ai model identifiers select ProviderProfile::Zai, which applies z.ai-specific normalization and validation and does not parse tool calls without declared tools.
GLM thinking and sampling rules
crates/protocols/src/profile/zai.rs
Thinking restrictions apply to GLM-5.3. Sampling defaults apply to GLM-5.x, GLM-4.6, and GLM-4.7. Tests cover these model families and models without defaults.
gRPC output-budget enforcement
model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/common/stages/context_length.rs, model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/common/stages/mod.rs, model_gateway/src/routers/grpc/pipeline.rs
The gRPC ingress pipeline rejects z.ai chat requests when an explicit completion budget exceeds a known selected-worker context window. Budgets at the limit, unspecified budgets, unknown windows, and other request types or profiles pass through.

🟡 Nit: The user-facing error message contains a run of ~14 spaces between "requested" and the token count ("However, you requested {max_tokens} tokens"), likely a leftover from wrapping the string literal. Clients will see the garbled whitespace verbatim.

Good catch, fixed in 20b33bc: the editing step had swallowed the line continuation, so the spaces were really in the literal.

🟡 Nit: The struct's doc comment a few lines up still says "The thinking object shared by the Kimi and MiniMax chat APIs" — with this z.ai-specific field added, the enumeration is stale. Consider updating it to mention z.ai (e.g. "shared by the Kimi, MiniMax and z.ai chat APIs") so the doc doesn't rot as soon as this merges.

🟡 Nit: This budget check only exists in the gRPC pipeline. A GLM request with an impossible max_tokens on the HTTP router path still reaches the engine, where SGLang clamps (200) instead of the vendor's 400 — so the z.ai contract parity this PR establishes holds on one of the two router paths only. This mirrors the existing enforce_context_length asymmetry, so it may be a deliberate scope choice, but it's worth either noting the limitation in the module docs / PR description or filing a follow-up for the HTTP path, since HTTP and gRPC are expected to present the same API contract.

Deliberate scope, now stated in the function docs and the PR description: like enforce_context_length, the budget check lives on the gRPC pipeline; the HTTP router forwards the body. Widening both checks to the HTTP path is a follow-up.

Reviewed the z.ai profile, model-id selection, the new clear_thinking field, and the OutputBudget gateway stage. No blocking issues — 3 nits posted inline (error-message whitespace, a stale doc comment, and a note on HTTP-path parity for the budget check). Profile rules match the PR's documented vendor contract, the stage is correctly gated to the z.ai profile and placed in the shared ingress path, and test coverage is thorough.

GLM-5.3-Flash requests were validated against the OpenAI baseline only,
so the vendor's contract went unenforced: thinking could be "disabled"
and reasoning leaked into content, unknown efforts and tool types were
ignored, clear_thinking was dropped, and a completion budget no window
could hold went through.

The profile, from the providers-verifier golden set, rejects disabling
thinking and any effort outside low/high/max, carries clear_thinking to
the chat template, consumes tool_stream, applies the vendor's sampling
defaults, rejects unknown tool types and file_url blocks by name, and
the gateway answers an oversized max_tokens with context_length_exceeded
when the selected worker advertises its window.

Both effort fields are forwarded, so a bad top-level value hidden
behind thinking.effort now fails validation too; the output-budget
message lost a run of spaces; the thinking docs name z.ai and the

The thinking-cannot-be-disabled rule, the effort set and the sampling
defaults were recorded against GLM-5.3-Flash, yet the profile applied
them to every model it selected, ChatGLM3 included. As the Kimi profile
pins K3 alone, those rules now apply to GLM-5 ids only (is_glm5), the
vendor-level rules stay profile-wide, and the chatglm marker is gone:
that family predates the z.ai chat contract.

docs.z.ai has only the GLM-5.3 series unable to switch thinking off,
with efforts low/high/max; GLM-5.2 takes thinking.type disabled and maps
the other efforts, and earlier generations take every value. The
thinking rules now apply to GLM-5.3 ids alone, and the sampling
defaults to the models the same page lists them for (GLM-5.x, GLM-4.7,
GLM-4.6), while the vendor-level rules stay profile-wide.

🟡 Nit: Gating all of validate_thinking on is_glm53 also moves the thinking.type: adaptive rejection under the 5.3 gate, but the rationale for that check ("not a z.ai value", per the doc on validate_thinking) is model-independent: adaptive is a Kimi-ism that no GLM generation's schema defines, unlike disabled/efforts where docs.z.ai genuinely differs per series. After this change a glm-5.2 request with thinking.type: adaptive passes validation and is forwarded to an engine/template that has no meaning for it — silently accepted rather than 400 thinking_type_not_supported. If the recordings don't establish the vendor's behavior for this case, keeping it 5.3-gated is a defensible verified-only stance, but then the "(not a z.ai value)" rationale in the validate_thinking doc no longer matches the scoping; consider either lifting the Adaptive arm to apply profile-wide or rewording the doc so the gate and its rationale agree.

Agreed, and fixed by lifting the Adaptive arm in ac9bb5c: thinking.type is validated profile-wide (validate_thinking_type: adaptive is a 400 for every z.ai model, since docs.z.ai defines only enabled/disabled; the hint says enabled for the 5.3 series and enabled or disabled otherwise), while disabled and the effort set stay GLM-5.3 rules (validate_glm53_thinking). The generation test now asserts adaptive → 400 for GLM-5.2, GLM-5 and GLM-4.6 (watched fail first); docs and PR table updated.

Gating the whole thinking check on the GLM-5.3 series had let adaptive,
a Kimi value no GLM schema defines, through for the other generations.
The type check is profile-wide again; disabled and the effort set stay
GLM-5.3 rules.
