Signature calls and provider-request attempts have separate ceilings. +DSPy 3.4 uses a custom `complete(Request) -> Response` engine that admits each +attempt before dispatch and observes raw LiteLLM model, usage and SDK cost metadata +before canonical conversion. The outer engine deliberately exposes no +`complete_legacy` hook: that transition hook bypasses `complete` during ordinary +`Predict` calls. DSPy 3.3 retains its supported legacy forward branch; DSPy 3.4 +does not override `forward`. The supported range remains `<3.5` pending verification. +Endpoint, key and timeout overrides belong to the custom engine. Both branches +disable SDK retries and caches. Typed budget and response-identity failures remain +failures across DSPy's error boundary, including adapter fallback. Model-specific restrictions on temperature, tokens, supported output formats, or provider model IDs may still need local adjustment. diff --git a/docs/SOURCES.md b/docs/SOURCES.md index cfbb77b..00c6842 100644 --- a/docs/SOURCES.md +++ b/docs/SOURCES.md @@ -26,6 +26,16 @@ are recorded in `INTEGRATIONS.md`; a source link is not a live execution result. ## DSPy +Teacher-engine migration sources rechecked October 3, 2026: + +- 3.4 custom engine protocol and LiteLLM raw-response conversion: + https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/3.4.0/dspy/clients/engines/base.py + https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/3.4.0/dspy/clients/engines/litellm_engine.py +- Engine validation and legacy transition dispatch: + https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/3.4.0/dspy/clients/lm.py +- Preserved 3.3 legacy boundary: + https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/3.3.1/dspy/clients/lm.py + - Official documentation: https://dspy.ai/ - Official repository: diff --git a/src/typewright/architect.py b/src/typewright/architect.py index 909cae8..bec1954 100644 --- a/src/typewright/architect.py +++ b/src/typewright/architect.py @@ -1,5 +1,4 @@ from __future__ import annotations -import inspect import os from typing import Any @@ -106,20 +105,9 @@ def __init__(self, model: str, *, allow_paid: bool = False, share_feedback: bool kwargs["api_base"] = os.environ["S1_TEACHER_API_BASE"] if os.getenv("S1_TEACHER_API_KEY"): kwargs["api_key"] = os.environ["S1_TEACHER_API_KEY"] - # DSPy 3.4 added native LM engines and engine="auto" prefers them.
