What does this PR do?

This commit builds on top of the work done in PR #4191 instantiating APIs to register FastAPI router factories and migrating away from the legacy @webmethod decorator system. The implementation primarily focuses on the migration of the Inference API which updates the server and OpenAPI generation while maintaining the existing routing and inspection.

The Inference API has been migrated to adopt the same new API Package Structure as the migrated Batches AI migration, i.e., protocol definitions and models live in llama_stack_api/inference. The FastAPI router implementation lives in llama_stack/core/server/routers/inference maintaining the established pattern of API contracts and server routing logic.

The nuances of migrating the Inference API include fixing model chunking where chunk_id aren't uniform across 100+ models and adding a sync for chunk id and meta data and an overall effort for backwards compatibility including content types. Last but not least, the Stainless config needed to be updated for the /v1/inference/rerank path.

This implementation represents an incremental migrating of the Inference API to the router system while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing webmethod-based APIs.

Test Plan

Run this from the command line and the same routes should be upheld:

curl http://localhost:8321/v1/inspect/routes | jq '.data[] | select(.route | contains("inference") or contains("chat") or contains("completion") or contains("embedding"))'

Since the inference unit tests only import types and not routing logic and the types are reimported, unit testing didn't need modification. Therefore:

uv run pytest tests/integration/inference/ -vv --stack-config=http://localhost:8321

I wrote it up in the forum-llama-stack-core channel. But here is the list of what needed to be done to fix the demo script:

Vector DB API Change ([demo_script.py:21-23](vscode-webview://01gn3kfohjdkuq986mnfpbqrs203d8vlfvp0a49o8qe60jf1pkr3/demo_script.py#L21-L23))
1. Removed client.vector_dbs.register() - this API no longer exists
2. The vector store doesn't need to be explicitly registered; it's handled automatically

RAG Tool Insert API Mismatch ([demo_script.py:35-42](vscode-webview://01gn3kfohjdkuq986mnfpbqrs203d8vlfvp0a49o8qe60jf1pkr3/demo_script.py#L35-L42))
Changed from client.tool_runtime.rag_tool.insert() to using client.post() directly
1. The client library expects vector_db_id but the server requires vector_store_id in the request body
2. Used direct POST to work around this client/server API mismatch (exposes a deeper issue with client and server maintenance)

Tool Configuration for Agent ([demo_script.py:48-53](vscode-webview://01gn3kfohjdkuq986mnfpbqrs203d8vlfvp0a49o8qe60jf1pkr3/demo_script.py#L48-L53))
Changed from using builtin::rag/knowledge_search to the correct format
1. Used type: "file_search" with vector_store_ids parameter
2. This matches the OpenAI-compatible API format

Event Logger Output ([demo_script.py:69-73](vscode-webview://01gn3kfohjdkuq986mnfpbqrs203d8vlfvp0a49o8qe60jf1pkr3/demo_script.py#L69-L73))
1. Added check for log objects that might not have a .print() method
Falls back to regular print() for string outputs

These fixes still seem to hold for client v.040 as well.

Simplify the Ollama model selection logic in the detailed tutorial.

Changes:
- Replace complex custom_metadata filtering with simple ID check
- Use direct 'ollama' in model ID check instead of metadata lookup
- Makes code more concise and easier to understand

This aligns with the simplified approach used in the updated demo_script.py.
Update the agent examples to use the latest API methods.

Changes:
- Simplify model selection (already applied in previous commit)
- Use response.output_text instead of response.output_message.content
- Use direct print(event) instead of event.print() for streaming

This aligns the tutorial with the current Agent API implementation.
Modernize the RAG agent example to use the latest Vector Stores API.

Changes:
- Replace deprecated VectorDB API with Vector Stores API
- Use file upload and vector_stores.create() instead of rag_tool.insert()
- Download files via requests and upload to Llama Stack
- Update to use file_search tool type with vector_store_ids
- Simplify model selection with Ollama preference
- Improve logging and user feedback
- Update event logging to handle both old and new API
- Add note about known server routing issues

This provides a more accurate example using current Llama Stack APIs.
Fix conformance test failures by explicitly defining both application/json
and text/event-stream media types in the 200 responses for streaming
endpoints (/chat/completions and /completions).

Changes:
- Updated fastapi_routes.py to include explicit response schemas for both media types
- Regenerated OpenAPI specs with proper 200 responses
- Regenerated Stainless config

This fixes the "response-success-status-removed" conformance errors while
maintaining the dynamic streaming/non-streaming behavior.

Updated the InferenceRouter.list_chat_completions and
InferenceRouter.get_chat_completion methods to accept the new

GetChatCompletionRequest) instead of individual parameters.

This fixes a SQLite parameter binding error where Pydantic request
objects were being passed directly to SQL queries. The router now
unpacks request object fields when calling the underlying store.

FastAPI routers need to explicitly return StreamingResponse for
streaming endpoints. The old webmethod system had middleware that
automatically wrapped AsyncIterator results in SSE format, but the
new router system requires explicit handling.

Changes:
- Added _create_sse_event() helper to format data as SSE events
- Added _sse_generator() to convert async generators to SSE format
- Updated openai_chat_completion() to return StreamingResponse when stream=True
- Updated openai_completion() to return StreamingResponse when stream=True

Fixes streaming errors:
TypeError("'async_generator' object is not iterable")

This resolves test failures caused by client SDK being out of sync with

The FastAPI router was wrapping streaming responses in StreamingResponse,
which broke library-mode usage. The library client expects to iterate
over the raw AsyncIterator returned by the implementation, not a
StreamingResponse wrapper.

This fix removes the StreamingResponse wrapping and returns the raw
implementation result directly. This matches the pattern used by the
old @webmethod system and allows both HTTP and library modes to work
correctly:

- HTTP mode: FastAPI automatically handles AsyncIterator as streaming
- Library mode: Client can iterate over the raw AsyncIterator

Fixes the 3 failing integration tests:
- test_streaming_tool_calls (vllm)
- test_image_chat_completion_streaming (ollama-vision)
- similar streaming tests (ollama base)
…Response"

This reverts commit 14fb7cc.

The raw AsyncIterator approach broke HTTP streaming. Need to investigate
a different solution that works for both HTTP and library modes.
Move schema_utils imports to the beginning of __init__.py, right after
the version constant. This aligns with PR llamastack#4667 and ensures decorators
like @json_schema_type and @webmethod are available before other modules
that depend on them are imported.

Changes:
- Moved schema_utils imports from line 450 to line 25
- Added schema_utils to __all__ exports list
- Added noqa: I001 comment to preserve import order

This addresses the maintainer feedback in PR review.
Address maintainer feedback to keep rerank endpoint at v1alpha level
instead of v1, matching the original webmethod implementation.

Changes:
- Moved rerank from inference.methods to alpha.subresources.inference in generate_config.py
- Changed inference router to use absolute paths instead of prefix
- Updated all v1 endpoints to use f"/{LLAMA_STACK_API_V1}/..." format
- Added rerank endpoint with f"/{LLAMA_STACK_API_V1ALPHA}/inference/rerank"
- Regenerated OpenAPI specs (48 paths, 67 operations)

This aligns with PR review feedback and maintains API versioning consistency.
Revert accidental version downgrade from 0.4.0.dev0 to 0.3.5 in
src/llama_stack_api/__init__.py. This maintains version consistency
with the main branch.

Known Issue: Streaming Incompatibility Between HTTP and Library Modes

UPDATE: Root cause identified! The issue is in how library client routes are registered, not in the router implementation itself.

The Problem

The current FastAPI router implementation works for HTTP mode but breaks library mode streaming.

Root Cause Analysis

With @webmethod (old system):

# routes.py line 151 (old version)
func = getattr(impl, legacy_route.name)  # Gets implementation method directly
  • Library client called implementation directly: impl.openai_chat_completion() → returns raw AsyncIterator
  • HTTP server wrapped result in StreamingResponse for SSE ✅

With FastAPI router (current system):

# routes.py line 106 (current)
func = route.endpoint  # Gets router endpoint wrapper
  • Library client calls router wrapper: router.openai_chat_completion() → returns StreamingResponse
  • HTTP mode works (already wrapped) ✅

The Bug

In routes.py:94-139, when processing FastAPI router routes for library client:

func = route.endpoint  # ❌ Gets router wrapper function

Should be:

func = getattr(impl, route.name)  # ✅ Gets implementation method

Why This Worked Before

The @webmethod system had two separate code paths:

  1. HTTP requests → Server wrapper added StreamingResponse
  2. Library calls → Directly called implementation (bypassed server wrapper)

The FastAPI router unintentionally merged these paths because library client route registration uses route.endpoint (the wrapper) instead of the underlying implementation.

Proper Fix

The fix should be in src/llama_stack/core/server/routes.py, not in the FastAPI routers:

# In initialize_route_impls(), around line 106:
# Instead of:
func = route.endpoint

# Use the implementation method directly for library mode:
# Extract the method name from the route and get it from impl
# This requires mapping route paths back to implementation method names

Impact

This is a systemic issue affecting ALL migrated APIs, not just Inference:

  • ✅ Conversations API - no streaming, unaffected
  • ❌ Any API with streaming endpoints will have this issue

Recommended Solution

  1. Short-term (this PR): Document the limitation, keep current implementation
  2. Long-term (follow-up PR): Fix routes.py to use implementation methods for library client routing
  3. Alternative: Add metadata to router endpoints to reference impl methods

cc @leseb @r-bit-rry - This is actually a route registration bug, not a router implementation issue. The fix should be in the route initialization logic that builds the library client's route map.

…library client

The library client was calling router wrapper functions which return
StreamingResponse objects for HTTP mode. This broke library mode streaming
because StreamingResponse is not an async iterator.

The fix extracts the method name from the router endpoint and gets the
corresponding implementation method directly, matching the behavior of
the old @webmethod system.

This fixes library mode streaming for ALL migrated APIs (not just Inference):
- test_streaming_tool_calls (vllm)
- test_image_chat_completion_streaming (ollama-vision)
- other streaming tests in library mode

Router wrappers correctly return StreamingResponse for HTTP mode while
library client now gets raw AsyncIterator from implementation methods.

✅ Fixed: Streaming Library Mode Bug

Update: The root cause has been identified and fixed in commit f73f36a!

The Bug (Now Fixed!)

The library client was calling router wrapper functions instead of implementation methods. This caused streaming to fail in library mode because:

  • Router wrappers return StreamingResponse (for HTTP)
  • Library client expects raw AsyncIterator (for direct iteration)

The Fix

File: src/llama_stack/core/server/routes.py:110-116

# OLD (BROKEN):
func = route.endpoint  # Gets router wrapper → returns StreamingResponse

# NEW (FIXED):
method_name = route.endpoint.__name__
func = getattr(impl, method_name, None)  # Gets implementation → returns AsyncIterator

This makes FastAPI routers work exactly like the old @webmethod system:

  • HTTP requests → Call router wrapper → Get StreamingResponse
  • Library calls → Call implementation directly → Get AsyncIterator

Tests Passing

  • ✅ Routes correctly map to implementation methods
  • ✅ Library client can iterate over AsyncIterator
  • ✅ Non-streaming routes still work (Conversations API verified)
  • ✅ HTTP streaming works (SSE format, proper headers)
  • ✅ HTTP non-streaming works

Impact

This fix resolves streaming issues for ALL migrated APIs, not just Inference:

  • test_streaming_tool_calls (vllm) - should now pass ✅
  • test_image_chat_completion_streaming (ollama-vision) - should now pass ✅
  • Any other library-mode streaming tests - should now pass ✅

The Inference API router implementation was correct all along - the bug was in how routes were registered for library client mode.

Response to Review Feedback

Thank you @leseb and @r-bit-rry for the detailed reviews! I've addressed the key issues:

✅ Fixed: Version Consistency (pyproject.toml)

Comment: "revert" on pyproject.toml:61

Response: Fixed in commit 15d05b4. The version has been restored to 0.4.0.dev0 in both:

  • src/llama_stack_api/__init__.py
  • pyproject.toml

✅ Fixed: Import Order (init.py)

Comment: "no no no, please revert" on init.py

Response: Fixed in commit ebd11bc. Moved schema_utils imports to line 25 (right after version constant) to match the pattern from PR #4667. This ensures decorators are available before other modules import them.


✅ Fixed: API Versioning (generate_config.py + openapi.yml)

Comment: "this is not correct, please revert" on generate_config.py
Comment: "This is v1alpha not v1" on openapi.yml

Response: Fixed in commit 3226302:

  1. Reverted rerank endpoint to alpha.subresources.inference in generate_config.py
  2. Updated router to use absolute paths (f"/{LLAMA_STACK_API_V1}/...") to properly support mixed v1/v1alpha endpoints
  3. Regenerated OpenAPI specs - now correctly shows /v1alpha/inference/rerank

📋 Pending: Docstring Cleanup (models.py)

Comment: "please remove ALL the :param, :cvar from docstrings"
Comment: "this file barely contains any Pydantic Field, please update"

Question for maintainer: The inference/models.py file is 1185 lines with extensive Sphinx-style docstrings. Should I:

  1. Convert all to Pydantic Field descriptions in this PR (substantial change, ~100+ fields to update)
  2. Handle in a follow-up PR to keep this migration focused on router architecture

I'm happy to do either - just want to clarify the preference before making such a large change.


🔍 Regarding Large models.py File

Comment from @r-bit-rry: "15x larger than any other API's models file"

Context: The Inference API has significantly more types than other APIs because it implements the full OpenAI-compatible API surface:

  • Chat completions (request + response + chunks + streaming)
  • Text completions (request + response + streaming)
  • Embeddings (request + response)
  • Reranking (request + response)
  • Plus all the OpenAI types (ChatMessage, ToolCall, Function, etc.)

These types aren't duplicated from elsewhere - they're the OpenAI-compatible types specific to the Inference API. Other APIs (batches, models, datasets) have much simpler request/response patterns.


✅ Fixed: Streaming Bug in Library Mode

Major breakthrough: Discovered and fixed the root cause in commit f73f36a!

The issue wasn't in the router implementation - it was in routes.py:106 where library client routes were being registered with router wrappers instead of implementation methods.

Fix: Changed from func = route.endpoint to func = getattr(impl, method_name) to match the old @webmethod behavior.

This should resolve the 3 failing integration tests (ollama-vision, ollama base, vllm streaming tests).


Ready for re-review once the docstring approach is clarified! 🚀

@leseb The branch was too mixed up for me to try and patch it so I cherry picked and added some fixes of my own, in this PR that supersedes this: #4755

## What does this PR do?

This PR migrates the Inference API to the FastAPI router system,
building on the work done in PR #4191. This continues the effort to move
away from the legacy `@webmethod` decorator system to explicit FastAPI
routers.

### Changes

- **Inference API Migration**: Migrated the Inference API to use FastAPI
routers following the established API package structure pattern
- **SSE Streaming Support**: Added SSE utilities for streaming inference
endpoints (chat completions, completions)
- **OpenAPI Spec Updates**: Updated OpenAPI specifications and Stainless
config for the new router structure
- **Documentation Updates**: Updated tutorial examples to use the new
Agent API patterns

### Implementation Details

- Protocol definitions and models live in `llama_stack_api/inference/`
- FastAPI router implementation follows the established pattern from
other migrated APIs
- The `/v1alpha/inference/rerank` endpoint is properly configured in the
Stainless config
- Explicit 200 responses added for streaming endpoints to properly
document SSE behavior

This represents an incremental migration of the Inference API to the
router system while maintaining full backward compatibility.

## Test Plan

1. Verify routes are preserved:
```bash
curl http://localhost:8321/v1/inspect/routes | jq '.data[] | select(.route | contains("inference") or contains("chat") or contains("completion") or contains("embedding"))'
```

2. Run unit tests:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/unit/core/ -v
```

3. Run integration tests:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/integration/inference/ -vv --stack-config=http://localhost:8321
```
