From 38193ebd0054f7f6ce5437bc5f79130556a16bf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Classic298 <27028174+Classic298@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 03:37:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: strip whitespace in the tool-argument completion guard The character guard only looked at the first and last byte of the buffer, so a chunk that ended in a space still triggered a full parse and a tool argument with leading whitespace fell back to parsing on every chunk. Stripping first collapses both cases to a single parse at the end of the stream. Measured on a streamed tool call, parses and wall time for the whole stream, orjson on the left of the slash and stdlib json on the right: | argument shape | before | after | |---|---|---| | 20 KB string, char-by-char deltas | 3678 parses, 56 / 28 ms | 1 parse, 3.1 / 3.1 ms | | 200 KB, 20-char deltas | 1473 parses, 176 / 63 ms | 1 parse, 3.1 / 2.8 ms | | 8 KB prose, leading whitespace | 715 parses, 5.5 / 2.5 ms | 1 parse, 0.18 ms | | 8 KB of spaces inside a value | 713 parses, 6.0 / 2.9 ms | 1 parse, 0.83 / 0.72 ms | The strip costs about 20 ns per delta on arguments that have no whitespace at either end, which is where the old form was already optimal: a 20 KB compact argument goes from 191 to 216 us over 1786 deltas. Soundness is unchanged, the guard can still only skip a parse that would have failed: 2660892 buffers (exhaustive to length 6 over a JSON-lexical alphabet, every prefix of 26 named cases with a trailing byte appended, and every codepoint below U+3000 after a complete document) with zero cases where a parse would have succeeded. --- backend/open_webui/utils/anthropic.py | 6 +----- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/backend/open_webui/utils/anthropic.py b/backend/open_webui/utils/anthropic.py index cc8392bdc1..65c4ddbe9b 100644 --- a/backend/open_webui/utils/anthropic.py +++ b/backend/open_webui/utils/anthropic.py @@ -878,11 +878,7 @@ async def openai_stream_to_anthropic_stream(openai_stream_generator, model: str if ( tool['started'] and not tool['stopped'] - and ( - tool['arguments'][-1] == '}' - or tool['arguments'][-1].isspace() - or tool['arguments'][0] != '{' - ) + and (tool['arguments'].rstrip()[-1:] == '}' or tool['arguments'].lstrip()[:1] != '{') ): try: JSONCodec.loads(tool['arguments'])
