What

Groq returns the token usage payload on a trailing chunk that carries no choices. _process_streaming_chunk reads x_groq.usage only after the if not chunk.choices early return, so that chunk was discarded and streaming runs never contributed the usage that was sitting right there.

Change

Read x_groq.usage before the empty-choices guard and return it instead of None:

usage = None
if hasattr(chunk, "x_groq") and chunk.x_groq and chunk.x_groq.usage:
    usage = chunk.x_groq.usage

if not chunk.choices:
    return None, [], [], usage

The existing test_empty_choices_returns_none_quad now sets chunk.x_groq = None, so it still covers the genuinely-empty case.

Scope note for reviewers

The streaming metric recording this PR originally added has since landed upstream independently (commit 32a2aa8bd, #4439). To avoid shipping duplicated logic and a second test file covering behaviour upstream already tests, the branch has been rebased onto upstream/main and now contains only the guard fix and its regression test — 2 files, +21/−6.

Upstream's _process_streaming_chunk still reads usage after the guard, so this fix remains necessary on its own.

Verification

  • pytest tests -q --ignore=tests/traces/test_chat_tracing.py → 131 passed
  • The new test fails against the unpatched function with
    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'prompt_tokens', and passes with the fix.
  • ruff check → All checks passed
  • test_chat_tracing.py requires a live GROQ_API_KEY and fails identically on pristine upstream/main (9 failures, unrelated to this change).

Checklist

  • I have added tests that cover my changes.
  • PR name follows conventional commits format: fix(groq): ....

Walkthrough

The Groq streaming chunk processor now extracts usage before checking for choices. It returns that usage when a chunk has no choices. Tests cover chunks with and without usage.

Preserve usage from empty-choice chunks.

If an empty-choice chunk is the only chunk carrying x_groq.usage, _process_streaming_chunk returns None for usage. The sync and async processors then pass no usage to _handle_streaming_response, which skips both token histogram records. Read chunk.x_groq.usage before the empty-choice guard and add regression coverage for this shape.

Addressed the CodeRabbit finding (_process_streaming_chunk losing usage on empty-choice chunks) in 3d00c66.

# Read usage before the empty-choices guard. Groq attaches x_groq.usage to a
# final chunk that may carry no choices at all; returning early would drop the
# only usage-bearing chunk and leave the token histograms empty.
usage = None
if hasattr(chunk, "x_groq") and chunk.x_groq and chunk.x_groq.usage:
    usage = chunk.x_groq.usage

if not chunk.choices:
    return None, [], [], usage

Regression coverage added for both the sync and async processors (test_streaming_records_tokens_when_usage_chunk_has_no_choices, test_async_streaming_records_tokens_when_usage_chunk_has_no_choices). They assert the recorded token sums rather than only the metric names — the earlier tests passed either way because _chunk() always carried a zeroed usage. Both fail without this commit (prompt tokens not recorded, got {}).

Pushed f08d810: the existing test_empty_choices_returns_none_quad in tests/traces/test_init.py asserted that usage is always None for empty-choice chunks — the exact behaviour this PR changes. It passed only because the bare MagicMock made the chunk.x_groq.usage truthiness check succeed.

That test now sets x_groq = None so it states the real contract, and a sibling case covers usage being preserved. Full package suite: 129 passed, ruff check and ruff format --check clean.

Cover empty-choice usage chunks in both metric tests.

The sync and async tests currently record usage from a choice-bearing chunk. They do not exercise the empty-choice branch that forwards usage to _record_streaming_metrics. Add an empty-choice final usage chunk to both tests while retaining the existing histogram assertions.

Rebased onto main (be49830) and narrowed to the part that is still missing there — the branch now touches 2 files, +21/-6.

Context for reviewers: the streaming metric recording this PR originally added has since landed independently in #4439 (32a2aa8bd), so I dropped the duplicated implementation and its test file rather than ship a second copy of the same behaviour. What remains is an ordering bug that is still present upstream — _process_streaming_chunk reads x_groq.usage after the if not chunk.choices early return, so the usage-bearing trailing chunk is discarded and the accumulated usage stays empty.

Verification on this head:

  • pytest tests -q --ignore=tests/traces/test_chat_tracing.py → 131 passed
  • the new test fails against the unpatched function with AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'prompt_tokens'
  • ruff check → clean
  • test_chat_tracing.py needs a live GROQ_API_KEY and fails identically on pristine upstream/main

Happy to fold this into the existing metrics test file, or drop the whole thing, if you would rather handle it that way.

Addressed in 6a7d588.

Both metric tests you flagged now have a case where the usage payload arrives on a trailing chunk with no choices at all (_empty_choice_usage_chunk), asserting the token histograms still reach the reader:

  • TestStreamProcessorMetrics::test_records_token_metrics_from_a_choice_less_final_chunk
  • TestAsyncStreamProcessorMetrics::test_async_records_token_metrics_from_a_choice_less_final_chunk

Both fail on the pre-fix guard (assert token_metric is not None) and pass with it, so the guard is now covered at the level a user observes, not only at _process_streaming_chunk's return value. I left the existing choice-bearing cases untouched so both chunk shapes stay covered.

uv run ruff check . passes. The PR is now 3 files, +98/-6.

CJstate and others added 2 commits October 4, 2026 20:25
Groq sends the token usage payload on a trailing chunk that can carry no
choices at all. _process_streaming_chunk returned before it read
x_groq.usage, so that chunk contributed nothing and the streaming token
histograms stayed empty even though the usage was sitting right there.

Read usage before the empty-choices guard and hand it back instead of None.

The metric-recording work this branch originally carried has since landed
upstream in traceloop#4439, so the branch is rebased onto upstream/main and now holds
only the guard fix and its regression test.
CodeRabbit pointed out that the sync and async metric tests feed usage on a
chunk that carries a choice, so they never exercise the branch this PR fixes:
the guard in `_process_streaming_chunk` that returns before reading
`x_groq.usage`.

Add one metric-level test per processor that puts the usage payload on a
trailing chunk with no choices at all and asserts the token histograms reach
the reader. Both tests fail on the pre-fix guard ("assert token_metric is not
None") and pass with it, so the fix is now covered at the level a user
observes, not only at the helper's return value.
