Changelog | November, 2024

Workflows SDK Beta Release

November 24th, 2024

We’re excited to announce the beta release of the Vellum Workflows SDK! The Workflows SDK allows you to define the control flow of your AI systems using Python and push/pull the definition of your Workflows to/from Vellum’s UI.

The Workflows SDK is currently in closed beta. If you’d like to participate and provide feedback, please contact us.

For more information, check out the Vellum Workflows SDK docs.

We’ll be sharing more on the Workflows SDK in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Prompt/Workflow Deployment History APIs

November 23rd, 2024

We’ve added two new APIs for retrieving details about a Prompt/Workflow Deployment at a specific history point. You can key off of either a history_id or the name of a Release Tag to retrieve the state of a Deployment at that point in time.

For more info, check out our API reference:

These APIs are available in our SDKs beginning version 0.9.15.

Prompt Sandbox UI Improvements

November 21st, 2024

Prompt Sandboxes have received a major facelift, making it easier to reason about a Prompt’s input variables and values, as well as making it possible to more easily resize panels to suit your needs.

Prompt Editor

The Prompt Editor tab now consolidates the “Input Variables” and “Scenarios” panels, so that you now define variables and provide values in the same place. All panels are resizeable.

Prompt Editor

Comparison Mode

Comparison Mode makes use of the same variable input elements, making it possible to rename input variables right next to where you’d provide their values.

Comparison Mode

Chat Mode

Lastly, Chat Mode has gotten major updates, such that you can now resize any panel and all UI elements look consistent across all modes.

Support for GPT-4o (2024-11-20)

November 20th, 2024

We’ve added support for the latest snapshot of GPT-4o (2024-11-20) to Vellum.

New API for Listing Release Tags

November 16th, 2024

We now have new API endpoints for listing all Release Tags associated with a Prompt/Workflow Deployment.

For details, check out our API Reference:

These APIs are available in our SDKs beginning version 0.9.5.

Quality of Life Improvements

November 15th, 2024

We’ve made a number of small quality of life improvements throughout Vellum.

Persisted Sort Order for Index Pages

We now remember the sort order you set on index pages. If you sort by a column, leave the page, and come back, the sort order will be preserved.

Optional Heads for Test Case CSV Upload

We used to require that all CSV files uploaded for Test Cases have a header row with all expected columns. Now, you can choose to upload a CSV with a header row containing only a subset of columns and Vellum will set the values of unspecified columns to null.

Optional Headers for Test Case CSV Upload

Semicolon Support in CSV Uploads

We now support semicolons as delimiters in CSV files uploaded for use as Test Cases.

Increased Max Concurrency for Evaluations

We used to limit the max number of concurrent Test Case runs to 12. You can now crank up the concurrency to 36.

Use Full Height for Displaying Subworkflows

We now use the full height of the screen when displaying subworkflows in the workflow editor.

Full-Height Display of Subworkflows

Remove “Copy of” When Cloning Nodes

When copy/pasting Nodes in a Workflow, we used to prefix the label of each cloned Node with “Copy of.” This is no longer the case.

Live Updates for Workflow Execution Views

When on the detail page of a Workflow Execution, the information displayed was static. If the Workflow was still running, you had to refresh the page to see changes. Now, the page will update as the Workflow progresses.

Audio Input Support via API for GPT 4o Audio Models

November 5th, 2024

We’ve added audio input capabilities via our API for the following models:

  • gpt-4o-audio-preview
  • gpt-4o-audio-preview-2024-10-01

You can now pass audio input to these models using a base64 encoded data URL.

You can read more about audio input capabilities for these models in OpenAI’s documentation.

Support for Anthropic’s Updated Haiku 3.5 Model

November 5th, 2024

We’ve added support for Anthropic’s Haiku 3.5 10-22-2024 model.
