OpenClaude's token management and API request construction for OpenAI models.

Technical Positioning
OpenClaude as a functional interface for OpenAI models, correctly handling model-specific constraints.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
OpenClaude is sending a 'max_tokens' value (32000) that exceeds the gpt-4o model's documented limit (16384), resulting in a 400 API error. This indicates a failure in OpenClaude's internal token management or its ability to dynamically adapt request parameters to specific LLM constraints. The tool is not correctly inferring or enforcing the 'max_tokens' limits for the chosen model, leading to immediate API rejection. This issue directly impacts the usability of integrated models, as developers cannot reliably interact with them without encountering predictable errors. Market implication: such fundamental API interaction errors undermine the utility of an LLM shim, forcing developers to manually debug and workaround basic parameter handling.

Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

Source Icon GitHub Issue Apr 1, 2026
Repo: Gitlawb/openclaude
Getting Failure Request Body

i Added in cmd
set CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
set OPENAI_API_KEY= {MYAPIKEY}
set OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o

and then

openclaude

then the CLI Opens but it only responds with

API Error: OpenAI API error 400: {
"error": {
"message": "max_tokens is too large: 32000. This model supports at most 16384 completion tokens, whereas you
provided 32000.",
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"param": "max_tokens",
"code": "invalid_value"
}
}

Someone know how to fix this?

Unfortunately no — GitHub Copilot doesn't expose a public OpenAI-compatible API that external tools can connect to. Its backend is locked to GitHub's own clients only. If you're looking for a free ...

Just a note - how's does Opencode support it? Haven't looked into it myself. @gnanam1990
gnanam1990 • Apr 1, 2026
Good catch @Harmonicrain — I was wrong to say it's completely impossible. Opencode supports Copilot by using GitHub's **undocumented internal API** (`https://api.githubcopilot.com`). The flow is: 1...

Thanks for the report. I checked the current code path and opened a PR to lock this behavior down with regression coverage: - PR: The runtime cap logic for OpenAI-compatible models is already pres...

This was fixed in v0.1.4 (commit `4ca94b2`). The file `src/utils/model/openaiContextWindows.ts` now includes `deepseek-chat: 8_192` in the `OPENAI_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` table, which caps `max_tokens` ...

This looks like a real bug in the transcript expand path, not a usage mistake. Root cause: - `ctrl+o` mounts the expanded transcript view - that view includes `SandboxViolationExpandedView` - the c...

Pardon my ignorance, but given there are no versions here, how do I know when the npm install will include the merge? Thanks!

No worries at all. This was the `ctrl+o` transcript-expand bug, and the fix from is already merged. The current npm version is `0.1.5`, so if you install/update to the latest package, you should ha...
