Introducing Python Function Choice Behavior: Streamlining AI Model Configuration
Introducing Function Choice Behavior Today, we're excited to introduce the Function Choice Behavior, an enhancement over the existing Function Call Behavior. This new feature streamlines configuration and supports specifying multiple required functions, simplifying code and enhancing functionality. One significant advantage of Function Choice Behavior is its abstraction at the base level, allowing it to work across various AI Connectors that support function calling, not just OpenAI models. This change aims to make function calling more straightforward for our users, easily extendable for new models,...

Build 2024 Recap: Bridging the chasm between your ML and app devs
Last week, Semantic Kernel had a huge milestone during Microsoft Build. Both its Python and Java libraries achieved V1.0 status, guaranteeing that neither of them would have breaking changes for non-experimental features moving forward. This is a big deal for our customers, as it means they can now confidently build their applications on top of our libraries without worrying about future compatibility issues. More importantly though, this means that all three SDKs (Python, C#, and Java) all share the same core functionality. This is a huge win for our customers, as it means that they can now easily switch betw...
