🚀 Highlights

Providers Become Extensions

The entire provider system has been restructured! All AI model providers have been migrated from the providers/ directory to extensions/, creating a unified extension architecture. This means:

• Unified Plugin System: Providers and commands now share the same extension framework
• Hot-Loadable: Add new AI providers through Extensions Hubs without server restarts
• Consistent Configuration: All provider settings follow the same patterns as other extensions

New Provider Extensions:

• Anthropic Claude
• Azure OpenAI
• DeepSeek
• ElevenLabs (TTS)
• ezLocalai
• Google Gemini
• Hugging Face
• OpenAI
• OpenRouter
• xAI (Grok)
• Chutes
• DeepInfra

💔 Breaking Changes

Provider Migration If you have custom code referencing providers directly from agixt/providers/, you'll need to update to use the new extension-based providers in agixt/extensions/.

Removed Files:

• agixt/providers/*.py - All migrated to extensions
• agixt/Transcription.py - Functionality moved
• docker-compose-dev.yml - Use standard compose files

🔄 Migration Guide

1. Update Docker Compose: If using custom compose files, review the updated docker-compose.yml
2. Redis (Optional): For optimal performance, add Redis to your deployment for shared caching
3. Check Roles: Review the new RBAC system if you have custom authentication logic
4. Provider References: Update any direct provider imports to use extension imports

📦 Dependencies

• Added Redis support in docker-requirements.txt
• Updated SafeExecute package
• Various dependency updates for security
