What I found: On CPython 3.14, assigning a custom __discriminator__ attribute to a typing.Union instance raises AttributeError because Union objects are not extensible the way the openai 1.109.1 SDK expects; public report openai/openai-python issue #2704 documents this against Python 3.14.0. In openai 1.109.1, _build_discriminated_union_meta ends with cast(CachedDiscriminatorType, union).__discriminator__ = details, caching discriminated-union metadata directly on the Union type object used when constructing Response output items such as web_search_call actions. Evidence: https://github.com/openai/openai-python/issues/2704 · https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.14.html · https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/v1.109.1/src/openai/_models.py Still unknown: Whether openai 1.109.x will receive a backport of the DISCRIMINATOR_CACHE change from commit 15a7ec8. Useful next check: Whether openai 1.109.x will receive a backport of the DISCRIMINATOR_CACHE change from commit 15a7ec8.
