What needs to change
- Add
grok-4.5 model definition in packages/types/src/providers/xai.ts with the correct context window, pricing, and reasoning support.
- Update
xaiDefaultModelId from grok-4.20 to grok-4.5 (it's the new flagship).
- Fix reasoning format bug in
src/api/providers/xai.ts — the xAI Responses API expects reasoning: { effort: "high" } but the handler was passing reasoning: { reasoning_effort: "high" } (Chat Completions format). This latent bug affects grok-3-mini and would break grok-4.5's configurable reasoning.
- Update tests to cover the reasoning format fix and grok-4.5 reasoning support.
