As part of our Ignite release, we shipped the new gen-4 and gen-5 planners developed by the Semantic Kernel team. These new planners can handle many more functions (2-3X more), leverage more complex logic (e.g., loops, conditionals, and complex objects), all while using fewer tokens. Because of just how much better these new planners are, the ...
