 Since its initial release 10 years ago, GraphQL has grown into a critical layer of infrastructure at startups, enterprises, and platforms across industries. The spec has two guiding priorities:
 
-**Stability first**: With so many tools and services built on GraphQL, the ecosystem relies on a solid foundation. This release fixes inconsistencies, addresses edge cases, and helps avoid performance pitfalls. \

 **Expressiveness for API consumers**: Developers use GraphQL because it’s intuitive, flexible, and powerful. This edition makes the language even more productive and expressive, particularly for AI-first applications.

 ## **Notable Updates**
 
 - **OneOf Input Objects (a.k.a. input unions)** \
-  A long-requested feature! This unlocks more natural ways to model mutually exclusive inputs, leading to tidier schemas and unlocking use-cases that couldn’t be safely expressed previously - check out the [blog post](https://graphql.org/blog/2025-09-04-multioption-inputs-with-oneof/).[ RFC #825 \

 - **Expanded Deprecation Support** \
-  Deprecation is now more broadly supported across schema elements, making it easier to evolve APIs without breaking clients.
