AI Summary

This release introduces asynchronous observability writes to the gateway to reduce latency and adds TypeScript evaluators for inference evaluation. It also enhances data visibility with aggregated variant usage metrics and supports vLLM's reasoning field.

Key Highlights

  • Gateway defaults to async observability writes to reduce tail latency
  • Added TypeScript evaluators for inference evaluations
  • Added support for vLLM's new reasoning field
  • Added aggregated variant usage data (tokens, cost) to the UI
  • Return HTTP code 429 for rate limiting errors

Breaking Changes

  • Gateway now defaults to async observability writes. To restore previous behavior, set `observability.async_writes = false`.

New Features

  • TypeScript evaluators
  • vLLM reasoning field support
  • Aggregated variant usage data in UI
  • Inference cost data in OpenTelemetry traces
  • Configuration option `export.otlp.traces.include_content`

Full Release Notes

> [!CAUTION]
> **Breaking Changes**
>
> - The gateway now defaults to async observability writes to reduce tail latency: inferences are sent to the client before they are persisted in the database. To restore the previous behavior, set `observability.async_writes = false`. **[[docs]](https://www.tensorzero.com/docs/gateway/configuration-reference)**

> [!WARNING]
> **Deprecations**
>
> - Removed the TensorZero Autopilot "Sessions" page from the UI. We recently added a TensorZero MCP that integrates nicely with coding agents, and we'll re-introduce advanced TensorZero Autopilot workflows in a platform-agnostic format soon.

**Bug Fixes**

- Return HTTP code 429 for rate limiting errors.
- Fixed a bug affecting ClickHouse database names with hyphens. (thanks @ianliuy!)

**New Features**

- Added TypeScript evaluators (for inference evaluations).
- Added support for vLLM's new `reasoning` field.
- Added aggregated variant usage data (tokens, cost, etc.) to the UI.
- Added inference cost data to exported OpenTelemetry traces. (thanks @kimsehwan96!)
- Added `export.otlp.traces.include_content` (default false) configuration field to include inference content (e.g. prompts, messages) in exported OpenTelemetry GenAI traces.
