The Gemini API SDK shipped a major version bump that rewires how interaction events work—but leaves GenerateContent untouched, so most production code survives the jump.

Python-genai v2.0.0 [1] lands breaking changes to interactions only, renaming SSE events to interaction.created and interaction.completed [2] while keeping the core GenerateContent API stable. The team documented migration details separately, making this a surgical upgrade for anyone using the interactions API. Meanwhile, the JAX ecosystem continues its quiet hardening: index update ops now support out_sharding [3], the pallas fuser gained symbolic equivalence checking for block indices [4], and the jit decorator factory is now standard throughout docs [5]. On the cloud SDK side, google-cloud-python spun up librarian releases [6] with bigquery-magics hitting v0.15.0, while the storage subsystem's cloud build tests are back online [7].
