pydantic-ai 1.98.0 released
pydantic-ai 1.98.0 adds OpenAI Responses input token counting via `OpenAIResponsesModel.count_tokens`, which helps agent builders estimate usage/costs more accurately before sending requests. It also replaces the old `Agent(tool_retries=..., output_retries=...)` knobs with a single `retries: int | AgentRetries` setting, and deprecates `pydantic_ai.ext.aci` (`tool_from_aci` and `ACIToolset`) as part of V2 preparation.
