[BUG] Error on startup when using multi-agent

[AstrumPush]

Provider (select one):

Deepseek
PraisonAI 4.6.46

praisonai-tools 0.2.30

praisonaiagents 1.6.46

Operating System: Windows 11

Thank you for your open-source work! I encountered an issue when using the multi-agent feature: after starting the system, an error occurs immediately, and I'm not sure how to resolve it. The error message does not provide a clear clue (or I saw the error but don't know where to start). Could you please guide me or point out possible causes? Thank you very much!

Full Code

from praisonaiagents import Agent, Agents

research_agent = Agent(instructions="Research about AI")
summarise_agent = Agent(instructions="Summarise research agent's findings")
agents = Agents(agents=[research_agent, summarise_agent])
agents.start()

Fixed Multi-Agent Streaming Error ✅

I've successfully identified and fixed the streaming error that occurs when using multi-agent functionality with Deepseek provider.

Root Cause Identified:
The issue was in chat_mixin.py where sync methods like _chat_completion() and _execute_unified_chat_completion() defaulted to stream=True, but the sync OpenAIAdapter explicitly rejects streaming requests, causing the error you saw.

Solution Implemented:

• Changed _chat_completion() method default from stream=True to stream=False (line 510)
• Changed _execute_unified_chat_completion() method default from stream=True to stream=False (line 777)
• This ensures sync adapters receive non-streaming requests by default
• Async methods can still use streaming when explicitly requested

Testing:

• ✅ Created and ran validation tests confirming the fix works
• ✅ Sync methods now default to stream=False as expected
• ✅ Multi-agent workflows should now work without streaming errors

Todo List:

• Read AGENTS.md for architecture guidelines
• Set up git identity and auth
• Locate and analyze chat_mixin.py around line 852
• Find the OpenAIAdapter implementation
• Implement fix for streaming in sync context
• Test with the provided reproduction code
• Commit and push changes
• Create PR

Pull Request: #1734

The fix is now ready for review and should resolve your multi-agent streaming issue with Deepseek provider!
