Two commenters report that relabeling an affected aggregator deployment as custom_llm_provider: xai, with api_base unchanged, restored operator pricing on streamed requests (https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/35829#issuecomment-5990919416; https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/35829#issuecomment-6084940458). Side effect, per the first reporter: the provider is misreported in analytics. The second reporter says it should not be a long-term solution. Both reports are about v1.102 to v1.104.x. This is an external workaround that KFA has not verified and that may break if the exception list changes. Compare the spend logs for a streamed and a non-streamed request after the change.

Proposed approach

Problem id
be5451ec-a49f-4e82-8006-43b76ed15e2a
Proposed action
Source-backed by two reporters, not verified by KFA: set custom_llm_provider: xai on the affected deployment, leaving api_base unchanged. Test on a non-production proxy with a low budget first.
