      <description>Openlayer adds governance lifecycle stages, bias/fairness tests, EU data residency, Gateway routing controls, and 10+ new native integrations.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Adds `evaluationScope: step` config field for per-step evaluation of tests on each trace step.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
• Adds `openlayer tests delete` CLI command — archives by default, `--force` permanently deletes.
• Extends `openlayer init` with Copilot CLI and Gemini CLI support, custom CA bundles, a &apos;debug with an agent&apos; option, and `.openlayerignore` for smaller uploads.
• Adds Gateway `GET /v1/models` (per key) and OpenAI-compatible `POST /v1/embeddings` API endpoints.
• Adds governance registry and framework endpoints to the public API and SDKs, writable with a workspace API key.
• Adds a new batch-delete endpoint for asynchronous, batched, idempotent row deletes.
• Adds EU data region — choose United States or European Union at sign-in/sign-up; account and data stay in the selected region.
• Adds project lifecycle stages — define stages, assign reviewers per stage, and receive warnings when an earlier stage&apos;s requirements are no longer met.
• Adds three new built-in compliance frameworks: NYDFS Circular Letter No. 7 (2024), Colorado Regulation 10-1-1, and the NAIC AI Model Bulletin.
• Adds audit-ready framework export — export a compliance report for any framework.
Breaking changes:
• Gateway &apos;Teams&apos; are renamed to &apos;Groups&apos; — any configuration, API calls, or documentation referencing &apos;Teams&apos; in the Gateway admin UI must be updated to &apos;Groups&apos;.

      <description>Openlayer adds remote MCP connector, Agent Skills, semantic search, webhooks for test results, and 25+ new capabilities in its August 2026 release.
• Adds `openlayer init` — one guided command takes a fresh directory to a pushable, linked, monitored project with tracing instrumentation.
• Adds non-interactive CLI mode — `link`, `login`, and resource creation run headless, enabling use from AI coding agents and CI pipelines.
• Expands `openlayer export` to support CSV and XLSX formats (previously JSON only) and adds the ability to include scores in exports.
• Adds webhooks for test results — subscribe a webhook endpoint to test-suite outcomes and get notified when tests pass or fail.
• Adds multimodal support to the `/responses` and `/messages` Gateway endpoints — media sent and received, not just text.
• Adds a new PATCH endpoint to update a project&apos;s name and description via API, picked up by the Python, Go, Java, and Ruby SDKs and the MCP server.
• Expands workspace API key surface — keys now work for updating projects, cost-override endpoints, test retrieval/update/deletion, and seven previously session-only read routes.
• Adds sorting and filtering to more list endpoints — workspace rules, project members, and user sessions; rules tables also gain server-side group filtering.
• Adds a remote, OAuth-protected MCP connector — the MCP server runs hosted instead of local-only, usable in Claude Code and claude.ai, with in-chat workspace switching.
• Adds governance and lifecycle tools via MCP — frameworks, rules, and rule results are reachable through MCP, growing the total toolset from 44 to 53 tools.
• Adds Openlayer Agent Skills — packaged skills that teach AI coding assistants to integrate a codebase with Openlayer (tracing, offline evals, tests, guardrails, CI gating); ships as a Claude Code plugin, Cursor plugin, or via the skills CLI.
• Adds dedicated Gemini and Vertex tracing in Python and TypeScript for the unified Gemini SDK including Vertex, where previously only the legacy SDK was auto-instrumented.
• Adds Claude Agent SDK tracing for TypeScript — drop-in import auto-traces agent runs.
• Adds native IBM watsonx Orchestrate integration, modeled on the existing Agentforce and Copilot Studio integrations.
• Adds semantic (model-based) routing — routing rules can score each prompt in-process and route it to a strong or weak target by threshold, alongside static first-match rules.
• Adds per-user usage limits and guardrails in the Gateway — limits and guardrails can target an individual user, including per-user caps within a team.
• Adds a content safety guardrail type for Gateway requests and responses.
• Adds a missing-guardrails governance rule — a new integrity test that flags traces missing an expected guardrail.
• Adds US National Provider Identifier (NPI) as a native PII check — detectable in Contains-PII tests and redactable in traces.
• Adds per-project data retention — set a rolling retention window (7/30/90/180/365 days or indefinite); monitoring data older than the window is deleted.
• Adds the ability to pause and resume individual monitoring tests without disabling the whole project.
• Adds bulk session deletion — multi-select sessions and delete with a full cascade to their traces, scores, and embeddings.
• Adds workspace-level dashboards — at-a-glance cost, usage, and project health across the workspace with drill-in widgets.
• Adds AI-generated session, trace, and test-result summaries — session and trace detail views open with an AI summary; test results include a summary of dominant failure modes with drill-down to exact rows.
• Adds semantic search filters — embedding-based subpopulation filtering for tests, beyond exact and keyword matching.
• Adds an official Helm chart for the Gateway for Kubernetes deployments.
• Adds a deployment admin area — operators get background-job queue health, metrics, history, and license/feature status, gated by a dedicated deployment-admin role.
• Adds granular token usage and cost tracking — cached, reasoning, and audio token categories are priced and stored; LLM-as-judge evaluator runs are cost-tracked per test result.
• Adds Gateway spend visibility — per-model breakdown on the usage endpoint, a per-user spend aggregation endpoint, projected savings when creating a limit, key rotation, and provider secrets settable from the admin UI.
• Adds browser-based CLI login — sign in with a device-code browser flow instead of pasting an API key.
• Adds suggested filter values — filter fields suggest likely values as you type, served from the backend and respecting other active filters.
• Adds bulk test actions — duplicate several tests at once and schedule runs for several tests at once; view, download, and delete uploaded custom metric files.
• Adds on-prem deployment options — CSI Secrets Store support, external/managed ClickHouse, native Oracle Object Storage as a storage backend, and a multi-arch Gateway image for ARM hosts.
• Adds a free public LLM cost explorer tool at llm-costs.openlayer.com for browsing and comparing LLM pricing across providers, including per-token-category pricing (cached, reasoning, audio).

• Adds a timeline (Gantt-style) view for traces showing every span&apos;s start time, duration, and nesting side by side.
• Adds Gateway API key invite links — admins can generate links that let users self-provision their own Gateway API keys.
• Adds compliance test visibility to results pages — shows which tests are required for compliance, in context.
• Introduces a free public LLM cost explorer at `llm-costs.openlayer.com` for browsing and comparing LLM pricing across providers, including per-token-category pricing (cached, reasoning, audio).

• Dialogflow integration now promotes relevant metadata to the row level and allows editing the agent display name.
Breaking changes:
• The configure() function is deprecated in favor of init(); trace configuration is now unified around openlayer.init(), with settings merging incrementally instead of resetting on each call.
