Release Notes

This update brings improvements to Next-Gen Assistants.

Assistants

Introduces two new data controls for Next-Gen assistants:
- Hide Web Search Sources from Members (disabled by default): When the assistant uses web search, it may consider a number of sources before drafting its response. Many of the sources are often not used in the final response. Control whether members can see all sources. When checked, members will not see the sources the assistant used during web searches. Moderators can always review web search sources. This setting will only apply to Chat Mode models with Web Search enabled.
- Completely Hide Web Search Actions from Members (disabled by default): When the assistant uses web search, it may perform various actions such as querying search engines, clicking on links, and extracting information. This setting controls whether members can see these web search actions. When checked, members will see that the assistant is searching the web without revealing specific actions. Moderators can always review web search actions. This setting will only apply to Chat Mode models with Web Search enabled.

Web Search is out of Preview and stable for general use. Web search allows models to access up-to-date information from the internet and provide answers with sourced citations.

When using Next-Gen Assistants, Web Search Steps are visible in the interface, both when streaming a response and when accessing a thread later. Users can open a dropdown menu that displays all sources the assistant used to search for relevant information.
With inline web citations, users can see the site title and URL of the source the assistant cited when generating its response.
