When a user asks which model analyzed an image/audio/video input, the assistant may answer with a guessed model name if the current turn only contains preprocessed media description text ([Image], Description:) and not the actual chosen media model/provider.

In our Discord test, the assistant replied with openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini even though the current turn did not expose actual media-understanding telemetry for that turn.

Root Cause

The media-understanding path already knows the chosen provider/model internally, but the inbound body only exposed the description text, not the actual chosen model. That made it easy for the assistant to hallucinate/guess a media model.

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Local validation

  • patched local apply-41Abj0q9.js to append Analysis model: per media output
  • re-tested in Discord #test
  • inbound body included:
    • Analysis model: ollama/qwen3.5:397b-cloud
  • assistant then reported the same value correctly

Notes

  • This is not mainly a conversation-model fallback issue
  • The main issue is guessed media model reporting when current-turn telemetry is absent
  • Reviewer result on local patch: GO with caveats

Code Example

Issue draft (short) — media-understanding chosen model should be exposed to the assistant as runtime telemetry

Summary

When a user asks which model analyzed an image/audio/video input, the assistant may answer with a guessed model name if the current turn only contains preprocessed media description text ([Image], Description:) and not the actual chosen media model/provider.

In our Discord test, the assistant replied with openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini even though the current turn did not expose actual media-understanding telemetry for that turn.

Expected behavior

Either:

  1. the actual chosen media model/provider is exposed to the assistant for the current turn, or
  2. the assistant should say it cannot confirm the analysis model for the current turn

Proposed fix

Include the chosen media model/provider in the generated inbound media-understanding body, e.g.

[Image]
User text:
...
Description:
...
Analysis model:
ollama/qwen3.5:397b-cloud

This lets the assistant answer based on runtime telemetry instead of guessing.

Root cause

The media-understanding path already knows the chosen provider/model internally, but the inbound body only exposed the description text, not the actual chosen model. That made it easy for the assistant to hallucinate/guess a media model.

Local validation

  • patched local apply-41Abj0q9.js to append Analysis model: per media output
  • re-tested in Discord #test
  • inbound body included:
    • Analysis model: ollama/qwen3.5:397b-cloud
  • assistant then reported the same value correctly

Notes

  • This is not mainly a conversation-model fallback issue
  • The main issue is guessed media model reporting when current-turn telemetry is absent
  • Reviewer result on local patch: GO with caveats

extent analysis

TL;DR

Include the chosen media model/provider in the generated inbound media-understanding body to prevent the assistant from guessing the analysis model.

Guidance

  • Verify that the media-understanding path is correctly appending the Analysis model: field to the inbound body for each media output.
  • Test the assistant's response with different media inputs to ensure it reports the correct analysis model or indicates that it cannot confirm the model when telemetry is absent.
  • Review the local patch apply-41Abj0q9.js to ensure it correctly appends the Analysis model: field to the media output.
  • Consider adding error handling or logging to detect cases where the analysis model cannot be determined.

Example

The inbound body should include the Analysis model: field, e.g.:

[Image]
User text:
...
Description:
...
Analysis model:
ollama/qwen3.5:397b-cloud

Notes

This fix assumes that the media-understanding path has access to the chosen provider/model internally and can append it to the inbound body.

Recommendation

Apply the proposed fix to include the chosen media model/provider in the generated inbound media-understanding body, as it allows the assistant to report the correct analysis model based on runtime telemetry.
