Summary
The release adds per-team New Relic trace routing, Grounding with Bing Search, native Vertex AI Interactions API support and Entra ID/OAuth authentication across Azure AI Foundry routes. It also introduces vector-store upload security controls and updates MCP, A2A, routing, cost and provider handling.
Why it matters
AI gateways increasingly sit between applications and multiple model providers, so their authentication, tracing, cost accounting and content-ingestion controls directly shape production engineering risk.
