Add and drop hybrid table constraints online (General availability)
With this release, you can add and drop UNIQUE and FOREIGN KEY constraints on an existing hybrid table by using alter table . Previously, you had to define these constraints when you created the table, so adding a foreign key to a table that was already serving a workload meant recreating and reloading the table.
Shadow traffic for gateways (Preview)
With this preview release, you can use a shadow traffic gateway to send all production requests to a primary service endpoint while mirroring a percentage of those requests to one or more shadow endpoints. Responses from shadow endpoints aren't returned to clients.
The partner-powered AI features setting will be removed
On November 1, 2026, Databricks will remove the account- and workspace-level toggle for partner-powered AI features. Each workspace will keep its current setting value: if the setting is enabled, it stays enabled, and if it's disabled, it stays disabled. Removing the toggle doesn't change any setting values.

Hold a function call until the user's turn is confirmed
The agent begins building a reply before speech-to-text confirms the user has finished speaking. Agent audio is held until that confirmation, but function calls have always dispatched as soon as the LLM emitted them.
FunctionCallCancelled
Clients now receive an explicit signal when a client-side function call they were sent is cancelled because the user started speaking again, either inside the speculative window (the turn resumed) or after the turn was confirmed (barge-in). Only calls the client already received are announced.
@deepgram/react 0.2.0
@deepgram/react 0.2.0 adds runtime Voice Agent controls and makes React session lifecycle handling safer. The release updates the React layer for @deepgram/agents 0.1.2 and @deepgram/sdk 5.9.0.
Runtime controls and notifications
Use sendAgentMessage() to inject an agent message with "default" , "queue" , or "interrupt" behavior. Use updateListen() , updateThink() , updateSpeak() , and updatePrompt() to change supported agent settings during a session.
Lifecycle and upgrade notes
Start, stop, reconnect, and React StrictMode handling now clean up canceled or failed microphone, playback, and client-tool resources. Automatic start failures call onSdkError , or console.error when no callback is set. A manual start() call rejects instead. This is a 0.2.0 release.
