xAI's chat completions API accounts reasoning_tokens separately from
completion_tokens, but rolls them into total_tokens. This breaks the
OpenAI invariant total_tokens == prompt_tokens + completion_tokens
that downstream consumers (including litellm's own _usage_format_tests
in tests/llm_translation/base_llm_unit_tests.py:58) rely on.
Live capture (grok-3-mini-beta, 2026-05-04):
prompt=14, completion=10, total=336, reasoning=312
14 + 10 = 24, NOT 336.
OpenAI's o1/o3 reasoning models include reasoning_tokens in
completion_tokens, leaving the prompt+completion=total invariant
intact. xAI deviates. This patch aligns xAI to OpenAI semantics by
folding reasoning_tokens into completion_tokens after the parent
OpenAI parser runs.
The fold is idempotent and defensive:
- Only fires when total_tokens == prompt_tokens + completion_tokens
+ reasoning_tokens (the documented xAI shape). Refuses to fold if
the gap doesn't match, guarding against silent corruption when xAI
changes accounting.
- Skips if completion_tokens already covers the gap (already
normalised — e.g. cost calc replays a previously-folded Usage).
xai.cost_calculator.cost_per_token already added reasoning_tokens to
the visible completion count for billing. Post-fold the Usage block
now satisfies that invariant directly, so the cost calc would
double-bill. Updated cost_per_token to detect the OpenAI-normalised
shape (total == prompt + completion) and skip the reasoning add-on
in that case, falling through to the legacy raw-shape behaviour for
callers that bypass the transformation (e.g. proxy log replay).
Tests:
- Adds TestXAIReasoningTokenFolding covering: gap-explained-fold,
idempotent-no-double-fold, no-reasoning-skip, gap-mismatch-skip.
- Adds test_already_normalised_usage_does_not_double_count_reasoning
to lock the cost-calc idempotency.
- Updates 7 pre-existing cost-calc tests whose total_tokens was
internally inconsistent (used the OpenAI-normalised total but kept
reasoning_tokens external) to use the documented xAI raw shape
total = prompt + visible completion + reasoning. Pre-existing
values masked the missing-fold by accident.

In total litellm runs 1000+ tests
[02/20/2025] Update:
To make it easier to contribute and map what behavior is tested,
we've started mapping the litellm directory in tests/test_litellm
This folder can only run mock tests.
