v7.42

Release Notes

This update provides important bug fixes and improvements.

Next-Gen Assistants

New Features

• In an effort to increase cache hits and improve latency, the current time and date are no longer injected in the system prompt. The current time and date are included as a developer message added right before the user message. This feature was previously introduced in Lecture Video mode conversations.

Lecture Videos (Preview)

Note

This release adds new capabilities for Lecture Videos, which remain under active development and are not yet officially supported in Groups. APIs, features, and UI/UX may change before final release.

Lecture Video mode is currently visible only to institutional admins when creating an assistant.

Updates & Improvements

• Lecture Video Chat requests include the lecture context earlier in the input chain to improve continuity between previous and current messages in the conversation history.
