Notable Updates

AIRequestSettings

We're excited to introduce AIRequestSettings, a versatile and efficient way to configure request settings in our Semantic Kernel platform. This new feature offers three methods to cater to different use cases and preferences:

• Base Class Method: Utilize the AIRequestSettings base class for a generic approach. This method is ideal for storing settings for various services within the same extension_data field. However, be aware that it dynamically creates a specific request setting class for each call, which might introduce overhead if using only a single service. Additionally, this approach lacks type checking, meaning errors may surface during the dynamic creation process.

• Direct Service Method: Create request settings specifically tailored to the service you're using, like AzureOpenAIChatRequestSettings. This approach provides type checking and is recommended when working with a single service or multiple instances of a similar service (e.g., gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 in OpenAI for chat).

• Kernel-Based Method: Generate request settings via the kernel, based on the registered service class. This method is highly specific, returning a request settings class that's pre-configured for your service, including pre-filled fields such as service_id and ai_model_id.

Each method has been designed to streamline your interaction with our services, ensuring a more efficient and error-resistant setup. Choose the one that best suits your project's needs!

Visit the following kernel example to see the configuration in action.

Breaking Changes

Python Kernel Upgrade to Pydantic v2.5.2

We are happy to announce an upgrade to Pydantic v2.5.2 in our Python kernel. This update not only brings cutting-edge features and syntax enhancements from the Pydantic team but also aligns our platform with major packages like OpenAI and PromptFlow. Key improvements include:

1. Streamlined Classes: The new version has simplified numerous classes, enhancing their readability and precision.
2. Unified sk_pydantic Classes: Previously distinct classes, such as skbasemodel, skgeneric, and pydantic field, have been consolidated into skbasemodel. Please note that aliases from earlier versions will be deprecated in the future v1 release.
3. Changes to Dict Functionality: The dict function in Pydantic has evolved. It is now represented as model_dump and model_dump_json, which may impact your development process.
4. Alignment with Leading Technologies: The Pydantic upgrade brings SK in line with other significant technologies like OpenAI and PromptFlow, ensuring seamless integration and consistency across platforms.

For a detailed guide on migrating to Pydantic V2 and understanding these changes better, please visit Pydantic's Migration Guide.

Breaking Changes

• Upgrades OpenAI SDK to Version 1.0 or Higher.
  • This upgrade enables users and developers to access the latest features, improvements, and security enhancements in the OpenAI SDK. It ensures compatibility with new models and APIs, and offers improved performance and stability.
• Revise and Enhance Class Hierarchies and Naming Conventions for Improved Clarity and Usability.
  • We've restructured class hierarchies and updated naming conventions for greater clarity and ease of use. For example, for Azure OpenAI, AzureTextCompletion now extends from AzureOpenAIConfigBase and OpenAITextCompletionBase, offering a more intuitive structure. Similarly, for OpenAI, OpenAIChatCompletion has been refactored from ChatCompletionClientBase and TextCompletionClientBase to OpenAIConfigBase, OpenAIChatCompletionBase, and OpenAITextCompletionBase, streamlining its functionality and making its purpose more explicit.
  • Note that you may need to update your class definitions to use keyword arguments as there was restructuring involved within the constructors of some classes.
