0.0.608-beta (June 4, 2024)

This version is compatible with:

Breaking changes

None

New features

  • Compare feature is now available! This compare feature allows you to compare between generations.
  • We’ll be debuting in the coming week with self-service distribution of the Literal AI platform for self-hosting
  • A new user role has been added: “Annotator”, a user that can add tags and scores to the observability entities (e.g. thread, step…) and has no access outside of those.
  • Project administrator can now pick the role of a user when inviting.

Improvements

  • Literal AI API keys are now shared in the project. Before, admins could create “personal” API keys. The behavior of restricting access to admins is kept.
  • We’re continuing our push towards a more consistent - and prettier - User Experience:
    • We’ve switched to a more vibrant color scheme
    • Made some visual tweaks on the Dashboard page
    • Observability items such as Threads, Runs, and others will now display as full pages rather than side-panes
    • And lots of other improvements across the platform

    • Improved and centralized environment management
    • The Portkey AI Gateway is now handled directly inside the Node process
    • The BUCKET_NAME environment variable is no longer mandatory. Trying to store objects will log errors but not disrupt the rest of the operations

Fixes

  • This week’s release sees a big focus on performance, especially on the Users and individual Thread pages
  • We’ve also chased and squashed a few bugs related to :
    • Signing Attachment URLs (for object storage like S3)
    • Conflicts on unique userId
    • A visual bug on initialization of “continuous” score templates
  • Audio attachments are now resolved.
  • Links on prompt versions are now directed to the correct prompt.
  • Show the correct projects when accessing the prompt playground.

0.0.606-beta (May 20, 2024)

This version is compatible with:

Breaking Changes

  • Dataset: Renamed intermediary steps expectedOutput to output. In a Dataset, in the field Indermediary Steps, the field expectedOutput is renamed to just output, because this is the actual output of the LLM.
