What's New

Typed video input support

New VideoURL multimodal type for providers that accept OpenAI-compatible video_url content parts (MiniMax, Qwen-VL, ...). Instructor has no video type of its own yet (asked upstream: 567-labs/instructor#2520), so the framework ships one.

:::python
from atomic_agents import BaseIOSchema, VideoURL
from pydantic import Field

class VideoAnalysisInput(BaseIOSchema):
    """Input with a video for analysis"""
    question: str = Field(..., description="Question about the video")
    video: VideoURL = Field(..., description="Video to analyze")

Features

• VideoURL(url, fps=None, detail=None) exported from the package root; use it as a schema field like Instructor's Image / Audio / PDF
• ChatHistory extracts it at any nesting depth and sends it to the provider as a video_url content part
• Round-trips through dump() / load() as a plain Pydantic model
• Token counting represents video parts with a text placeholder (LiteLLM cannot count video), so max_context_tokens keeps working with video in history

Thanks @octo-patch for kicking this off in [#274].
