The Semantic Kernel team is thrilled to present the fall 2023 release plan for Semantic Kernel. Our focus is on delivering key developments and enhancements across three pillars: open source and trustworthiness, reliability and performance, and integration of the latest AI innovations.
- To ensure openness and trust, we are adopting the OpenAI Plugin open standard, allowing users to create plugins that seamlessly work across OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, and the Microsoft platform. Our team is dedicated to scalability and reliability in the core kernel and planner.
- We are committed to enhancing reliability and performance by improving Planners, making them more efficient and capable of handling global-scale deployments effortlessly. Expect features like cold storage plans for consistency and dynamic planners that automatically discover Plugins.
- When it comes to the latest AI innovations, we are excited to integrate popular vector databases such as Pine Cone, Redis, Weaviate, Chroma, along with Azure Cognitive Search and Services. Additionally, we are developing a document chunking service and enhancing the VS Code extension for Semantic Kernel.
Telemetry and AI safety are critical aspects that we’re addressing in the plan. With end-to-end telemetry, developers gain insights into goal-oriented AI plan creation, token usage, and errors. Integration of Azure Content Safety hooks provides a streamlined approach to ensure AI safety.
