Solutions

  1. Verify the Gitee AI API key and base path configuration.
  2. Confirm the model id is in Gitee AI's catalog.
  3. Lower request rate / add backoff for 429s.
  4. Let the AIbitat retry loop handle transient 5xx.
  5. Reproduce with curl to capture the exact upstream message.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: retry

Validate before calling

if (!process.env.GITEE_AI_API_KEY && !process.env.GITEEAI_API_KEY)
  throw new Error("Gitee AI API key is not set.");

Try / catch

const { RetryError } = require("./server/utils/agents/aibitat/error.js");
try {
  return await provider.stream(messages, functions, handler);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof RetryError && attempt < MAX) {
    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 1000 * attempt));
    return await provider.stream(messages, functions, handler);
  }
  throw e;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Gitee AI returns 429, 5xx, or a non-auth APIError during a streaming tooled completion.

Common situations: Gitee AI free-tier rate limits, a wrong model id, an expired/invalid token surfaced as APIError, or upstream Gitee AI maintenance.
