OpenAI: chat.completions.parse() (non-beta) not instrumented

[AbhiPrasad]

Gap

The non-beta client.chat.completions.parse() method is not instrumented. This is the GA method for structured outputs (available since openai v1.40.0, August 2024). Only client.beta.chat.completions.parse() is wrapped via BetaCompletionsV1Wrapper.

CompletionsV1Wrapper (line 776 of oai.py) only defines create(). When users call client.chat.completions.parse(), it falls through via NamedWrapper.__getattr__ to the original unwrapped method — no span is created.

Note: client.responses.parse() IS correctly wrapped via ResponsesV1Wrapper.parse().

What is missing

• client.chat.completions.parse() (sync) — needs wrapping in CompletionsV1Wrapper
• client.chat.completions.parse() (async) — needs wrapping in AsyncCompletionsV1Wrapper

Braintrust docs status

supported — the OpenAI integration page at braintrust.dev/docs/integrations/ai-providers/openai states structured outputs via chat.completions.parse() are supported, but the Python SDK implementation only covers the beta path.
