Release Notes

New Features

• Chat History Reducer #10190 by @moonbox3

  • Example: Chat history reducer with agents.
  • Example: Using a chat history reducer in chat completion.
  • Example: Chat history reducer including FunctionCallContent and FunctionResultContent.

• Deepseek Service in Concept Samples #10306 by @TaoChenOSU

• Prompt Template Config and Kernel Args Support for Agents #10298 by @moonbox3

  • Example: Using a prompt template config and kernel arguments with a ChatCompletionAgent.
  • Example: Using a prompt template config and kernel arguments with Assistant Agents.

---

Note 1: The ChatCompletionAgent's execution_settings constructor parameter has been replaced with the ability to pass KernelArguments(settings=<execution_settings>). If you're passing in execution_settings to the agent constructor, please now pass in KernelArguments. This change aligns with how the .Net Agent Framework is structured and allows for the use of the AI Service Selector inside the Chat Completion Agent.

Note 2: The OpenAIChatCompletion and AzureChatCompletion classes now support an instruction_role keyword argument. This is particularly useful when using reasoning models like o1. When set, any AuthorRole.SYSTEM messages are converted to AuthorRole.DEVELOPER before being sent to the model.

Example usage:

chat_service = OpenAIChatCompletion(service_id=service_id, instruction_role="developer")
