Background
The xAI Responses API supports "no_inline_citations" in the include field to disable inline citation markdown ([N]) from being inserted into response text. This is documented by xAI, but the AI SDK's @ai-sdk/xai provider doesn't currently allow passing this value, the include option only accepts 'file_search_call.results'.
Summary
Added 'no_inline_citations' as a valid value for the include provider option in the Responses API. This lets users disable inline citations when using xai.responses() with server-side search tools like web_search and x_search.
Two changes:
Manual Verification
Tested against the xAI Responses API with web_search enabled. Without this change, the response text contains inline citation markdown like [1]. With include: ['no_inline_citations'], the response text is returned without citation markdown, matching the behavior described in xAI's documentation.
Checklist
pnpm changesetin the project root)Future Work
The Chat API has a separate searchParameters.returnCitations option that controls citations for Live Search. It may be worth documenting the distinction between the two approaches (Chat API vs Responses API) more clearly.
