Performance

• Implemented a faster SSE parser.

Known Issues

• If any AI Gateway plugin has been enabled in a self-managed Kong Gateway deployment for more than a week, upgrades from 3.10 versions to 3.11.0.0 will fail due to a license migration issue. This does not affect Konnect deployments.

  A fix will be provided in 3.11.0.1.

  See breaking changes in 3.11 for a temporary workaround.

Release date 2025/04/15

Bugfix

• Fixed an issue where AI Proxy and AI Proxy Advanced would use corrupted plugin config.

Release date 2025/03/27

Breaking Change

• Changed the serialized log key of AI metrics from ai.ai-proxy to ai.proxy to avoid conflicts with metrics generated from plugins other than AI Proxy and AI Proxy Advanced. If you are using logging plugins (for example, File Log, HTTP Log, etc.), you will have to update metrics pipeline configurations to reflect this change.

• Fixed a bug where Azure streaming responses would be missing individual tokens.

• Fixed a bug where response streaming in Gemini and Bedrock providers was returning whole chat responses in one chunk.

• Fixed a bug with the Gemini provider, where multimodal requests (in OpenAI format) would not transform properly.

• Fixed an issue where AI upstream URL trailing would be empty.

• Fixed an issue where Gemini streaming responses were getting truncated and/or missing tokens.

• Fixed an incorrect error thrown when trying to log streaming responses.

• • Fixed an issue where templates weren’t being resolved correctly.
  • The plugins now support nested fields.

• Fixed tool calls not working in streaming mode for Bedrock and Gemini providers.

• Fixed preserve mode.

Known Issues

• Some active tracing latency values are incorrectly reported as having zero length when using the AI Proxy plugin.

Release date 2024/05/28

Breaking Change

• To support the new messages API of Anthropic, the upstream path of the Anthropic for llm/v1/chat route type has changed from /v1/complete to /v1/messages.

Feature

• AI Proxy now reads most prompt tuning parameters from the client, while the plugin config parameters under model_options are now just defaults. This fixes support for using the respective provider’s native SDK.

• AI Proxy now has a preserve option for route_type, where the requests and responses are passed directly to the upstream LLM. This is to enable compatibility with any and all models and SDKs that may be used when calling the AI services.

• Added support for streaming event-by-event responses back to the client on supported providers.

• Added support for Managed Identity authentication when using the Azure provider with AI Proxy.

Bugfix

• Fixed the bug that the route_type /llm/v1/chat didn’t include the analytics in the responses.

Release date 2024/02/12

Feature

• Introduced the new AI Proxy plugin that enables simplified integration with various AI provider Large Language Models.
