feat(text): default text model gpt-6.1-sol, with Responses API support

[snakajima]

Summary

The default text-chat model was openai:gpt-4o-mini. Asked for a business analysis with slides (Office role), it ignored the role's rules: no search, invented figures, and every slide shown at once.

• Default is now gpt-6.1-sol, OpenAI's "near-Astra performance for complex work at a lower cost" ($2 / $10 per million tokens): src/config/textModels.ts for the client and DEFAULT_MODELS.openai in server/llm/textService.ts.
• Model list: gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6-astra are added to the server's OpenAI suggestions.
• Responses API for these models (server/llm/providers/openai.ts). Found by Codex review, and checked against the API: on /v1/chat/completions, gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6-astra refuse function tools with reasoning on, and refuse reasoning_effort: "none".
  • gpt-6.1-* and gpt-6-astra now go to /v1/responses, stateless like the existing call: the whole conversation is sent each turn.
  • System messages become instructions. User text and images become input_text / input_image.
  • Assistant tool calls become function_call items, and tool results become function_call_output items.
  • The reply's message and function_call items are read back as text and tool calls.
  • Tools are sent with strict: false, as on Chat Completions (found by Codex review). The Responses API otherwise makes every tool strict: optional arguments become required, and open objects are closed.
  • Other OpenAI models are unchanged.
• The fallback option's label ("OpenAI — … (default)") is built from DEFAULT_TEXT_MODEL. It used to say gpt-4o-mini in three places.
• docs/architecture.md updated.

Users who saved a model choice keep it: the setting is stored per browser.

Checked

• Against the API, through the adapter: on both gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6-astra, two parallel tool calls, then an answer from their outputs, 2–3 s per turn. An image is read correctly ("Red").
• Correction: an earlier version of this description reported in-app runs of gpt-6.1-sol. Those ran gpt-6-sol: the test server predated the model-list change, and MulmoChat falls back to the first listed model when the saved one isn't offered.
• In MulmoChat before the strict fix: 2 text-chat runs with gpt-6.1-sol (confirmed in the request log) went poorly. One showed only slide 1, the other no slides.
  • In strict mode, searchWeb's optional date filters had to be filled on every search, and Exa refused the dates ("Invalid date format"), so the model kept retrying.
  • After the fix, gpt-6.1-sol leaves the dates out, and an open chart option comes back as a full ECharts configuration.
• Tested by hand in MulmoChat after the fix: works well.
• yarn typecheck, yarn lint and the server's tsc pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The OpenAI provider now routes selected models through the Responses API and keeps other models on Chat Completions. The configured default changes to openai:gpt-6.1-sol. The UI reuses a shared option for default and fallback states.

Changes

OpenAI text generation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update model defaults and suggestions src/config/textModels.ts, server/llm/textService.ts, src/views/HomeView.vue, docs/architecture.md	The configured and documented default changes to openai:gpt-6.1-sol. Suggestions add gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6-astra. The UI derives its initial and fallback option from the configured default model.
Route selected models to Responses API server/llm/providers/openai.ts	generateWithOpenAI sends models matching the Responses API pattern to the new path. Other models continue through Chat Completions.
Map messages and handle Responses API results server/llm/providers/openai.ts	The new path converts messages and tools to Responses API input, sends the request, and returns extracted text, function calls, usage, and the raw response. Failed requests raise TextGenerationError with the status and response body.
