LLM Studio Release Notes¶
This page lists the release notes for LLM Studio, helping you understand version evolution and feature changes.
2026-08-31¶
v0.18.3¶
User View
- Added support for administrators to assign created API Keys to users, so that users can use the API Keys assigned to them
- Added support for viewing and displaying the usage of deleted API keys in usage statistics
- Added a workload viewing action in the model deployment list, so that users can quickly jump to the details of the associated workload
- Added support for displaying multimodal model API call examples in the model gallery details
Admin Console
- Added intelligent routing, where each cluster can be configured with one
model=autoroute. It supports basic rule-based routing (request length and custom rules) and advanced semantic model selection (domain classification, semantic embedding, complexity, and context length), and falls back to the default model when no rule matches - Added support for token-based rate limiting for MaaS models
- Added content security detection policy management, which calls security capabilities to perform risk and compliance detection on request content. General security detection is completed by the platform's own security model, with configurable risk types and risk determination thresholds. Module-shield security detection is an integration with the NSFOCUS AI security fence service, completing content detection through NSFOCUS open APIs
Note
Starting from v0.18.3, the MaaS enablement status, cluster, and workspace visibility scope of Hydra are uniformly based on the Knoway ModelRoute CR. When upgrading from v0.16.0 or v0.17.1, upgrade the hydra-agent of all worker clusters first, and then upgrade the global Hydra. For details, see Upgrade Notes.

v0.17.1¶
User View
- Added support for image-to-image generation and voice model experiences in Model Playground
- Added support for environment variable configuration for fine-tuning and evaluation tasks
- Optimized the Model Marketplace interface, including display, filtering, and sorting capabilities, to improve the user experience
- Optimized distributed inference scenarios for model deployment, allowing separate startup commands and environment variables to be configured for Leader and Worker nodes
Note
Starting from v0.17.1, Hydra decouples model metadata from MaaS data. Before upgrading to v0.17.1, migrate the maas_model data table. If you are upgrading directly to v0.18.3, do not run that SQL. For details, see Upgrade Notes.
2026-06-30¶
v0.16.0¶
User View
- Added container health checks for model deployments, including liveness, readiness, and startup probes

- Added support for mounting external configuration files to customize the runtime logic of model deployments
2026-05-31¶
v0.15.0¶
User View
- Added support for large language model fine-tuning, including dataset management, fine-tuning job management, model evaluation, and model export
- Added pre-deployment health checks for model deployments, automatically validating critical hardware and software environments before deployment to identify issues in advance
- Added support for token weight configuration in model deployments and MaaS models to ensure fair token quota allocation
- Added support for enabling and disabling API Keys, allowing users to activate API Keys as needed
- Added support for accounting of cached tokens in large language models

Admin Console
- Added support for gateway security policy management and audit logs in operations management, allowing users to configure gateway security policies such as sensitive word detection and model allowlists/blocklists
- Added support for forwarding multimodal MaaS models, including speech-to-text, OCR, rerank, and embedding models
- Improved model marketplace management by adding support for model deletion
Note
Starting from version 0.15.0, Hydra integrates Higress into the Knoway gateway to provide capabilities such as AI security and token quota management. For details, see the Upgrade Notes.
2026-04-30¶
