Several first-party wrappers did not enable it until fixed. Fix status: released_fix (fixed in @ai-sdk/fireworks 3.0.34; @ai-sdk/deepinfra 3.0.36; @ai-sdk/togetherai 3.0.41 (DeepSeek V4 Flash only)) Limitations: - @ai-sdk/togetherai 3.0.41 (ebf0bd5) forwards JSON schemas only for DeepSeek V4 Flash; other Together models are not covered by that changelog entry. Other error fragments: - JSON response schema is injected into the system message.
