← All ServicesVertex AI: Breaking Parameter Changes & Auth Scope Shift
Vertex AI v1beta1 enforces mandatory name and parent parameters and transitions many resource fields to read-only status. Additionally, the API is shifting its primary OAuth scope to the service-specific aiplatform scope.
Vertex AI shifts to granular OAuth scopes
Vertex AI is promoting the specific `aiplatform` OAuth scope as the primary authorization method across most resources, while finalizing the enforcement of the `name` parameter as strictly required.
Breaking Changes to Agents and Transcription Config
Vertex AI v1beta1 introduces several breaking changes, including mandatory resource parameters and the removal of the recently added transcription 'mode'. It also adds standard IAM policy management for Agents and new sandbox authorization methods.
Vertex AI Agents get IAM controls and lifecycle updates
Vertex AI introduces IAM support and enhanced deletion controls for Agents, alongside significant breaking changes to Sandbox networking and Audio Transcription configurations.
Smart Transcription, Multi-Speaker Config, and Agentic Video
Vertex AI adds a 'Smart' transcription mode for automated cleanup of audio transcripts and introduces multi-speaker configurations. Video generation is enhanced with a new 'Extend' task and agentic processing modes for dynamic frame navigation.
Vertex AI adds Response Management and Smart Transcription
Vertex AI introduces lifecycle management for endpoint responses and a new "Smart" mode for audio transcription that automatically cleans up disfluencies.
Video Outpainting, Audio Control, and Monitoring Refinements
Vertex AI introduces advanced video generation capabilities including outpainting and audio control, while refining agent monitoring filters and deprecating legacy ASR fields.
Vertex AI adds Video Outpainting and Advanced Audio Control
Vertex AI expands its video generation experimental suite with new capabilities for outpainting, video-to-video transformations, and granular audio track management.
Vertex AI: Session Compaction and Transcription Refactor
Vertex AI introduces session compaction for long-running agent histories and standardizes speech transcription configurations, alongside a breaking change to traffic type enums.
Methods:
Vertex AI adds Session Compaction and Audio API updates
Reasoning Engines now support session history compaction to manage context windows via summarization. Audio transcription APIs are being streamlined with new language code fields, and evaluation runs gain CMEK support.
Vertex AI: Task Stores, Speech Transcription, and Model Proxies
Vertex AI expands agentic capabilities with Task Stores for decoupled task management and integrated speech-to-text transcription for generative models.
Methods:
Vertex AI adds Compact HTTP Forwarding and Serving Operations
Vertex AI introduces a 'compact' HTTP forwarding method for publisher endpoints and adds standard long-running operation management for Serving Profiles.
Methods:
Vertex AI: Memory Bank Expansion & Breaking Agent Changes
New event ingestion and profile retrieval methods for Memory Banks expand agentic capabilities, while breaking changes remove several fields from Agent and Tool result schemas.
