<ParamField path="STRIX_API_TYPE" type="string">
Select the OpenAI API path for the model: `responses` or `chat_completions`.
By default, a custom `LLM_API_BASE` uses chat completions. Set this variable
when your gateway requires the other API. Also accepts `STRIX_FORCE_API`.
By default the model decides: Responses when LiteLLM's model catalog lists
`/v1/responses` for it (e.g. `gpt-5`), chat completions otherwise. A custom
`LLM_API_BASE` does not change this, so set `STRIX_API_TYPE=chat_completions`
when your gateway only serves chat completions. Applies to bare and `openai/`
model names. Also accepts `STRIX_FORCE_API`.
