+- **OpenAI Streaming Events**: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses-streaming
+
+## Key Changes
+
+### 1. Response Object Structure
+
+**Before:**
+```json
+{
+  "polling_id": "litellm_poll_abc123",
+  "object": "response.polling",
+  "status": "pending" | "streaming" | "completed" | "error" | "cancelled",
+  "content": "cumulative text content...",
+  "chunks": [...],
+  "error": "error message",
+  "final_response": {...}
+}
+```
+
+**After (OpenAI Format):**
+```json
+{
+  "id": "litellm_poll_abc123",
+  "object": "response",
+  "status": "in_progress" | "completed" | "cancelled" | "failed" | "incomplete",
+  "status_details": {
+    "type": "completed" | "cancelled" | "failed",
+    "reason": "stop" | "user_requested",
+    "error": {
+      "type": "internal_error",
+      "message": "error message",
+      "code": "error_code"
+    }
+  },
+  "output": [
+    {
+      "id": "item_001",
+      "type": "message",
+      "status": "completed",
+      "role": "assistant",
+      "content": [
+        {
+          "type": "text",
+          "text": "Response text..."
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  "usage": {
+    "input_tokens": 100,
+    "output_tokens": 500,
+    "total_tokens": 600
+  },
+  "metadata": {...},
+  "created_at": 1700000000
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Status Values Mapping
+
+| Old Status | New Status | Notes |
+|------------|-----------|-------|
+| `pending` | `in_progress` | Aligned with OpenAI |
+| `streaming` | `in_progress` | Same as above |
+| `completed` | `completed` | No change |
+| `error` | `failed` | OpenAI format |
+| `cancelled` | `cancelled` | No change |
+
+### 3. File Changes
+
+#### A. `litellm/proxy/response_polling/polling_handler.py`
+
+**Updated `create_initial_state()` method:**
+- Changed `polling_id` → `id`
+- Changed `object: "response.polling"` → `object: "response"`
+- Replaced `content` (string) with `output` (array)
+- Added `usage` field (null initially)
+- Added `status_details` field
+- Moved internal tracking to `_polling_state` object
+
+**Updated `update_state()` method:**
+- Changed from updating `content` string to updating `output` array items
+- Added support for `output_item` parameter
+- Added support for `status_details` parameter
+- Added support for `usage` parameter
+- Structured error format with type/message/code
+
+**Updated `cancel_polling()` method:**
+- Now sets status to `"cancelled"` with proper `status_details`
+
+#### B. `litellm/proxy/response_api_endpoints/endpoints.py`
+
+**Updated `_background_streaming_task()` function:**
+- Processes OpenAI streaming events:
+  - `response.output_item.added`
+  - `response.content_part.added`
+  - `response.content_part.done`
+  - `response.output_item.done`
+  - `response.done`
+- Builds output items incrementally
+- Tracks output items by ID
+- Extracts and stores usage data
+- Sets proper status_details on completion
+
+**Updated `responses_api()` POST endpoint:**
+- Returns OpenAI format response object instead of custom polling object
+- Uses `response` as object type
+- Sets `status: "in_progress"` initially
+- Returns empty `output` array initially
+
+**Updated `responses_api()` GET endpoint:**
+- Returns full OpenAI Response object structure
+- Includes `output` array with items
+- Includes `usage` if available
+- Includes `status_details`
+
+### 4. Streaming Events Processing
+
+The background task now handles these OpenAI streaming events:
+
+1. **response.output_item.added**: Tracks new output items (messages, function calls)
+2. **response.content_part.added**: Accumulates content parts as they stream
+3. **response.content_part.done**: Finalizes content for an output item
+4. **response.output_item.done**: Marks output item as complete
+5. **response.done**: Finalizes response with usage data
+
+### 5. Redis Cache Structure
+
+**Cache Key:** `litellm:polling:response:litellm_poll_{uuid}`
+
+**Stored Object:**
+```json
+{
+  "id": "litellm_poll_abc123",
+  "object": "response",
+  "status": "in_progress",
+  "status_details": null,
+  "output": [...],
+  "usage": null,
+  "metadata": {},
+  "created_at": 1700000000,
+  "_polling_state": {
+    "updated_at": "2024-11-19T10:00:00Z",
+    "request_data": {...},
+    "user_id": "user_123",
+    "team_id": "team_456",
+    "model": "gpt-4o",
+    "input": "..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 6. API Response Examples

+  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-1234"
+```
+
+**Response (In Progress):**
+```json
+{
+  "id": "litellm_poll_abc123",
+  "object": "response",
+  "status": "in_progress",
+  "status_details": null,
+  "output": [
+    {
+      "id": "item_001",
+      "type": "message",
+      "role": "assistant",
+      "status": "in_progress",
+      "content": [
+        {
+          "type": "text",
+          "text": "Artificial intelligence is..."
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  "usage": null,
+  "metadata": {"user": "john"},
+  "created_at": 1700000000
+}
+```
+
+**Response (Completed):**
+```json
+{
+  "id": "litellm_poll_abc123",
+  "object": "response",
+  "status": "completed",
+  "status_details": {
+    "type": "completed",
+    "reason": "stop"
+  },
+  "output": [
+    {
+      "id": "item_001",
+      "type": "message",
+      "role": "assistant",
+      "status": "completed",
+      "content": [
+        {
+          "type": "text",
+          "text": "Artificial intelligence is... [full essay]"
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  "usage": {
+    "input_tokens": 25,
+    "output_tokens": 1200,
+    "total_tokens": 1225
+  },
+  "metadata": {"user": "john"},
+  "created_at": 1700000000
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Backward Compatibility Notes
+
+**Breaking Changes:**
+- Field names changed (`polling_id` → `id`, `content` → `output`)
+- Status values changed (`pending` → `in_progress`, `error` → `failed`)
+- Error structure changed (nested under `status_details.error`)
+- Content is now structured in `output` array instead of flat string
+
+**Migration Path:**
+Clients need to:
+1. Use `id` instead of `polling_id`
+2. Parse `output` array to extract text content
+3. Handle new status values
+4. Read errors from `status_details.error` instead of top-level `error`
+
+### 8. Benefits of OpenAI Format
+
+1. **Standard Compliance**: Fully compatible with OpenAI's Response API
+2. **Structured Output**: Supports multiple output types (messages, function calls)
+3. **Better Streaming**: Aligned with OpenAI's streaming event format
+4. **Token Tracking**: Built-in usage tracking
+5. **Rich Status**: Detailed status information with reasons and error types
+6. **Metadata Support**: Custom metadata at the response level
+
+### 9. Testing
+
+Updated `test_polling_feature.py` to:
+- Validate OpenAI Response object structure
+- Extract text from structured `output` array
+- Check for proper status values
+- Verify `usage` data
+- Test `status_details` structure
+
