The AI SDK core call surface is deliberately provider-neutral, so anything a single provider supports and the others do not is not a top-level parameter. Those settings go in providerOptions, an object keyed by the provider identifier, with the provider's own field names inside.
That is where Anthropic extended thinking configuration and cache control markers go, where OpenAI reasoning effort and prediction settings go, and where Google safety settings go. Passing them at the top level is silently ignored rather than rejected, which is exactly the failure that leads to reports that prompt caching or thinking has no effect.
Provider metadata comes back the same way, in providerMetadata on the result, which is where cache read and write token counts appear since the neutral usage object has no field for them. If a feature seems not to be working, log providerMetadata for one request and check whether the provider reports it happening at all before changing anything else.
