Global LLMs

Introduced Global LLMs in the Admin Center, allowing assignment to any Project within your organization and streamlining LLM management across Projects.

Improvements

  • Renamed the option from Log Token Count to Show Token Count to more accurately reflect its functionality. This change affects the following Nodes: Search Extract Output, LLM Prompt, LLM Entity Extract, and AI Agent

  • Fixed the issue where an error occurred when saving after removing translation settings
  • Fixed the issue where finishing a call during a Dial transfer didn't trigger the actions on the Call Completed event in the Voice Gateway Endpoint
  • Fixed the issue where a Transfer Refer Error or Transfer Dial Error event with the executeFlow action pointing to the same Flow where the error occurred led to an infinite loop of Flow executions
  • Fixed the issue where old OpenAI LLMs from Snapshots and Packages were unusable
  • Fixed the issue where AI Agents couldn't be resolved when a Snapshot was used as an entry for the Endpoint
  • Fixed the issue where updating the Working Hours Node failed due to Node validation
