It tries to strike a balance between working out of the box and being flexible... which has its challenges, still nice overall.
One big real-life pain I experienced is that caches don't always work, e.g. for xAI, since it only supports completions API and thought signatures are returned wrong.
Responses API is now implemented and it's coming in RubyLLM 2.0

I also liked how they run the issue tracker. If you select "Feature Request", it makes you explain how you explored workarounds, why you believe it belongs in RubyLLM etc to prevent scope creep.
Rails-style instrumentation landed in 1.16.0.
I love how MINASWAN Hacker News is when talking about Ruby!
I'm not sure where you got that.

Max tokens is the only one of your list that require provider specific params:

I'm one guy doing it for free. Happy to see your contribution!
I will have a deep dive into which things I felt we needed to adapt per provider.
I didn't mean to imply that you have to solve all of our wants of course.
One thing we did do was monkey-patch the spot where tool_calls are performed by RubyLLM. We had our own mechanism for that and were able to skip RubyLLM's and still extract the tool calls and run them through our own tool harness. That all worked beautifully. I don't know if that type of stuff is something you want PRs on or that you want to keep steering towards the route that does everything within RubyLLM classes. Happy to contribute some of that.
