7.0.0 — Release Notes
Changelog for Agnes Video Generator: new features, improvements and bug fixes for every release.
v7 adds free text models from other providers — the text layer is now fully pluggable
v7.0.0 makes the text-generation layer pluggable: alongside the built-in Agnes provider you can connect any OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible text model provider. AI screenwriting, scene prompts, poetry splitting, manuscript segmentation and image-prompt rewriting are all routed to your chosen provider automatically, while the built-in Agnes stays available and cannot be deleted.
What's New
Features & Improvements
- Custom text model providers (OpenAI-compatible / Anthropic-compatible). Configure any LLM endpoint with
base URL + API keyand two supported wire protocols (openai-completions,anthropic-messages). Once selected, every text call — screenplay breakdown, scene planning, poetry segmentation, image-prompt rewriting — is routed to your provider automatically. The built-in Agnes provider is always available, cannot be deleted, and keeps the previous behaviour when no custom provider is selected. - Provider management panel. A dedicated settings section lists all text providers, lets you add, edit and delete them, and keeps the Agnes key/domain editing inside the provider modal. Keys are masked in the UI, and the provider's model list is a single editable list: fetch it from the endpoint or type model ids by hand. Model selection is a two-level provider → model picker that merges the models of all providers.
- Interface-language aware backend messages. Task progress messages, failure panels, HTTP error details and the diagnostics report are now localized according to the UI language instead of being hard-coded Chinese. The UI language travels with every request (
X-Agnes-UI-Lang, falling back toAccept-Language), is snapshotted into each task at creation time, and therefore does not drift if the user switches language later. Chinese and English are covered; the remaining languages fall back to the existing behaviour. - Clearer network failure diagnosis. TLS handshake resets (
connection reset) are now attributed to local-connection problems, and the diagnostics report shows the interface language of the reporting user, making failure reports easier to triage.
Refactoring & Optimizations
- Decoupled text-generation layer. A new protocol-client layer (
core/api/providers/→ base / OpenAI / Anthropic) plus a provider factory replaces the two hard-coded Agnes chat client constructions, so pipelines and the screenwriter are untouched while the underlying model source becomes pluggable. Custom providers reuse the existing shared rate limiter and exponential-backoff retry policy, and failures are recorded in the same error log as before. - Backend i18n runtime. A new translation runtime plus request-scoped language middleware gives the FastAPI side the same localization guarantees the frontend already had, with a safe fallback chain that never turns a missing translation into a request failure.
Bug Fixes
- Model pulling for an already saved provider now reuses its stored credentials instead of falling back to the Agnes key.
- The built-in Agnes provider no longer appears twice in the provider picker and is now labelled as text-only.
- Non-Chinese interfaces no longer receive hard-coded Chinese network-diagnosis and task messages (issue #64).
- No action is required after upgrading.
