Cause (Documented platform behavior): The tracker validates the first delta per tool-call index against the OpenAI spec (string id, function.name present, type 'function'); some models/gateways diverge (e.g. integer ids from nvidia/z-ai/glm-5.1, name arriving after id).
Fix status: released_fix (fixed in @ai-sdk/openai-compatible 3.0.0 (late function.name), 3.0.23 (indexes), 3.0.32 (empty-string ids))
Limitations:
- Error text from GitHub issue pages was read via the WebFetch summarizer, not verified verbatim from raw HTML. (opencode #25786, #24137)
- Integer/non-string tool_call ids ('Expected 'id' to be a string.') are still rejected; the openai-compatible changelog lists fixes only for late function.name (3.0.0), indexes (3.0.23) and empty-string ids (3.0.32).
Unknowns:
- Whether integer ids are coerced in any released version is not shown in the changelog.
Other error fragments:
- Expected 'function.name' to be a string.
- Expected 'function' type.

- https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/25786 (github_issue, 2026-05-05, reported_symptom): Report: nvidia/z-ai/glm-5.1 returns integer tool_call ids, causing Expected id to be a string; workaround was switching model.
- https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/24137 (github_issue, 2026-04-24, reported_symptom): Report: provider sends id and arguments before function.name in a later chunk, triggering Expected function.name to be a string.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Streaming turn with tool calls errors with AI_InvalidResponseDataError; the tool never runs.
- Context
- Product: Vercel AI SDK OpenAI-compatible providers Component: @ai-sdk/provider-utils StreamingToolCallTracker Operation: streamText with tools against OpenAI-compatible endpoints (NVIDIA NIM, gateways, local servers) Affected versions: late function.name: fixed in @ai-sdk/openai-compatible 3.0.0 (ab81968); empty-string ids handled from 3.0.32 (e6087c9); non-contiguous/missing indexes from 3.0.23 (1bec07d); integer ids still rejected at 3.0.57 per source Environment: unknown Exception: AI_InvalidResponseDataError Packages: @ai-sdk/openai-compatible <3.0.0 (late function.name), others current Trigger: Server streams a tool_call delta without id, with a numeric id, with function.name only in a later chunk, or with inconsistent index values.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [AI SDK @ai-sdk/openai-compatible] Streaming tool calls fail: 'Expected 'id' to be a string.' / 'Expected 'function.name' to be a string.' with non-conforming OpenAI-compatible servers
Recommended action: Upgrade @ai-sdk/openai-compatible (>=3.0.32) to get buffered name handling and index fixes; for integer ids or missing ids use a proxy/middleware that normalizes tool_call ids to strings, or switch model/endpoint.
Fix: Upgrade the provider package [evidence: released_fix]
Steps:
1. npm i @ai-sdk/openai-compatible@latest (>=3.0.32)
Expected: Late names, empty ids and odd indexes are tolerated
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
