Date: February 13, 2026 Duration: ~3 hours Severity: High Status: Resolved

Note: This fix will be available starting from v1.81.13-nightly or higher of LiteLLM.

Summary​

Claude Code began sending unsupported Anthropic beta headers to non-Anthropic providers (Bedrock, Azure AI, Vertex AI), causing invalid beta flag errors. LiteLLM was forwarding all beta headers without provider-specific validation. Users experienced request failures when routing Claude Code requests through LiteLLM to these providers.

  • LLM calls to Anthropic: No impact.
  • LLM calls to Bedrock/Azure/Vertex: Failed with invalid beta flag errors when unsupported headers were present.
  • Cost tracking and routing: No impact.
