1.2 - Atria Model Gateway changelog

Atria Model Gateway changelog

Changelog of Atria Model Gateway for Nodoubt Aura Platform release

Added

2025-03-05 - New AI-driven model available: OpenAI o3-mini

Changed

2025-03-05 - Updated tiktoken library version

  • In atria-model-gateway, the tiktoken library has been updated to 0.9.0 version.

2025-03-05 - Launch an exception when config loading fails

  • If the configuration load fails when starting the atria-model-gateway pods, then an exception is launched and the process stops.
  • If the configuration load fails when the /refresh endpoint is called, then the exception is caught and we continue with the previously loaded configuration.

2025-03-05 - Session id logs

  • Requests from atria-rag-server to atria-model-gateway now have the original session id plus the suffix -rag. This helps tracking a request in Elastic.

Fixed

2025-03-05 - Set context window of RAG requests to 0

  • Bug fixing in atria-model-gateway: Until now, requests from atria-rag-server to atria-model-gateway had internally configured the same window in the preset. This could lead to wrong responses. This happened because the preset context-window was applied to both the user session and the requests from atria-rag-server to atria-model-gateway. To resolve it, now the context-window is set to 0 in requests from the atria-rag-server, while in the user session this parameter will be the one defined in the preset.

2025-03-05 - Allowed logging prompts

2025-03-05 - Cleaned operational logs

  • Removed operational logs from /status and /metrics endpoints

2025-03-05 - Rename chunkSizeLoad by loadChunkSize
