pydantic-ai 1.96.0 released
Pydantic-ai 1.96.0 introduces V2 preparation changes, including the new `openai-chat:` prefix with warnings for bare `openai:` (which will switch to Responses API in v2), deprecation of `Agent(history_processors=)` in favor of `capabilities=[ProcessHistory(...)]`, and deprecation of method-style accessors like `result.usage()` for property-style equivalents. It also deprecates `AGUIApp`, `Agent.to_ag_ui()`, and related shims in favor of `AGUIAdapter`, signaling upcoming shifts for AI agent builders toward more standardized APIs.
