Conversations hang after first response when provider returns a reasoning field (using Ollama/Qwen3) #34798

Description

@fenrir-labs76

Description

When using local thinking models on Ollama (e.g. Qwen3.6-35b), the model appears
to think but then stops and returns no response.

The @ai-sdk/openai-compatible SDK extracts the reasoning field from the response and re-sends it as reasoning_content in message history on the next turn. Ollama does not accept reasoning_content in
message history, causing the conversation to hang with no output returned to the user.

Plugins

None

OpenCode version

1.17.13

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure an Ollama provider with a thinking model (e.g. Qwen3.6-35b)
  2. Start a session and send a message, like: "Explain in detail how distributed consensus algorithms work. Compare PBFT, Tendermint, and Raft protocols, their tradeoffs, fault tolerance models, and real-world applications. Walk through a concrete example of message ordering in each protocol."
  3. Note that opencode just ends - as if it responded to you.
