# Changelog

Stay current on Agent Optimizer updates. Each entry below reflects a version bump in `sdks/opik_optimizer/pyproject.toml` on `main`. The compare links jump straight to the commits that landed in that release. As Opik is a monorepo, you will see other non-optimizer related changes in the commit links below.

## Version 3.x

Highlights: Full public, production-ready release designed to work alongside Optimization Studio. MCP/tool optimization is temporarily removed in `3.0.0`–`3.0.1` due to compatibility reasons.

### Version 3 highlights

- First fully native multi-agent and multi-prompt optimization support end-to-end across optimizers.
- Specific reasoning models separate from training supported across all optimizers.
- Multimodal optimization supported across all optimizers.
- Pass\@k evaluation across all optimizers via the `n` parameter and selection policies.
- Full refactor and normalization of all optimizers for simpler code and better performance.

## Version 2.x

Highlights: Introduced new optimizers including HRPO and GEPA, tool optimization and expanding coverage beyond early prompt-only workflows. Breaking change includes dropping MIPRO in favour of GEPA.
