python-0.5.0.dev

Notable Changes

We're progressing towards the v1.0 release of our SDK, featuring significant enhancements and modifications:

• Unified response objects for Chat, Text, and Embedding completions under the KernelContent class. This change offers multiple advantages, including consistency with our dotnet implementation and a more streamlined handling of responses. The KernelContent base class provides an efficient way to access response metadata and inner content.
• Updated the terminology from AIRequestSettings to PromptExecutionSettings, to better align with dotnet terminology.
• Overhauled the plugin and function architecture to utilize the KernelPluginCollection class. This update involves removing outdated code and base classes associated with PluginCollection and ReadOnlyPluginCollection.
• Discontinued support for synchronous function execution, which previously relied on asyncio and led to complications.

What's Changed

• Python: implement KernelContent and all related classes by @eavanvalkenburg in #4491
• Python: Add astra memory by @david-polo in #4374
• Python: Renames request settings to prompt execution settings by @juliomenendez in #4782
• Python: Remove sync function invoke. Update other code to use async invoke. by @moonbox3 in #4796
• Python: Add kernel plugin collection and remove old plugin collection classes by @moonbox3 in #4764
• Python: Bump python version to 0.5.0 for release. Update notebooks. by @moonbox3 in #4849

python-0.4.7.dev

Notable Changes

• In order to maintain consistency with the .Net SDK, we have eliminated the "SK" prefix from our class and file names. For example, "SKContext" has been renamed to "KernelContext," and "SKFunction" is now "KernelFunction."
• To enhance the Pythonic nature of our SDK, we've decided to remove the _async suffix from methods that lack a synchronous counterpart. This change aligns better with Python naming conventions and follows the naming practices seen in the Azure Python SDK.

What's Changed

• Python: Sets a valid default content filter code to ResponsibleAIPolicyViolation by @juliomenendez in #4715
• Python: Renames SK prefix to Kernel by @juliomenendez in #4716
• Python: updates to chat_prompt and related by @eavanvalkenburg in #4720

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.
