Fix status: released_fix (fixed in unknown (PR #11114 merged 2025-05-24)) Workaround (not a fix): allowed_openai_params=['reasoning_effort'] per request, or drop_params (which silently drops reasoning). Misleading approaches: - drop_params: true silences the error but also drops reasoning entirely Limitations: - Exact release version containing PR #11114 not confirmed - Related Atlas signature (not a KFA record): signature:litellm UnsupportedParamsError tool_choice - Atlas signature for generic UnsupportedParamsError (tool_choice) - same family, different param/cause Unknowns: - Whether newer model ids hit the same allowlist gap Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/11085 (github_issue, 2025-05-23, reported_symptom): litellm 1.70.1 raises UnsupportedParamsError for reasoning_effort with us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0; error text suggests drop_params or allowed_openai_params. - https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/pull/11114 (github_issue, 2025-05-24, released_fix): Merged PR extends the converse_transformation model check so Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 accept reasoning_effort (previously only 3.7).
