Highlights for 0.8

❕ Breaking Change

The openai package is no longer installed by default.

• Install AG2 with the appropriate extra to use your preferred LLMs, e.g. pip install ag2[openai] for OpenAI or pip install ag2[gemini] for Google's Gemini.
• See our Model Providers documentation for details on installing AG2 with different model providers.

0.7.6 to 0.8 Highlights

• 📔 DocAgent
  • Reliability improvements, better URL handling, internal prompt refinements, check out the video
  • In-memory Query Engine, no vector store required, load web pages and documents directly into your system message using an LLM to query
  • Performance analysis, can it do what you need? If not, let us know!
• 🔍 ReasoningAgent now has an internal prompt rewriter for better performance!
• 🐝 Swarm - Addition of OnContextCondition and ContextExpression for context variable-based handoffs that don't require an LLM, creating faster and more predictable flows
• Lots of documentation improvements, including Reference Tools section

0.7 to 0.8 Highlights

💭 LLM Model Providers:

• Streamlined packages making all of them optional
• Structured Output support for OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, and Ollama
• Support for new Google and Cohere libraries
• Support for OpenAI's o1 models

🐝 Swarm:

• More robust workflows with context-based handoffs using OnContextCondition and ContextExpression
• More transfer options with AfterWorkOption support in SwarmResults
• Introduction of a Swarm Manager for organic LLM-based transitions

General:

• 🎈 Significantly lighter default installation package
• 🔒 Better data security with the addition of Dependency Injection
• 💬 Streaming of workflow messages with Structured Messages
