First, aiohttp 3.14 removed a core streaming interface that the VCR testing library depends on. This broke integration tests for Fireworks and XAI partners, forcing a temporary version cap below 3.14 until the upstream VCR library releases its fix. Similarly, Pydantic 2.14 changed how it reads type annotations,…
The second major pattern is message serialization bugs breaking tool-calling workflows. Multiple chat providers had issues handling tool messages and tool calls properly. Perplexity's message converter was dropping tool calls entirely and throwing errors on tool messages, addressed in PRs 37911 and 37919. Anthropic…
