This week brings significant improvements in document training workflows, AI performance, and developer tools across the platform. Here’s what’s new:

Multidoc Training Support: Mentors can now be trained on multiple documents in a single session—streamlining content ingestion and improving context depth.
Faster Scanned Document Processing: Scanned document indexing is now up to 70% faster, delivering a noticeable performance gain in large-batch training workflows.
Smarter Document Embedding: Batch embedding for OpenAI files is fully supported, and all document types across supported loaders are now accounted for in indexing pipelines.
Enhanced File Upload Handling: File uploads now use modularized serializers and batch-based processing for improved performance and scalability.
Prompt & Credential Configuration: Added validation for preferred credentials and configuration options for mentor forking—expanding control over prompt behavior and mentor reuse.
Tooling & Debug Improvements: New verbose logging helps identify when LLMs fail to respond, and token limitations were lifted from LLM calls to unlock fuller outputs.

MentorAI Product Association: A new dedicated interface allows linking products directly to mentors, enabling targeted AI deployment across offerings.
Expanded Anonymity Support: The mentor chat component now displays headers and navigation—even when accessed anonymously—preserving brand and UX integrity.
Enhanced Component Reusability: The web mentor component now supports extra parameters (extraparams), increasing flexibility for downstream projects.
Top Banner Handlers & Toast Messaging: The Invite User component now clears input and confirms API success via toast. Top banners support onLoad/onClose hooks for dynamic behavior.
New Web Utils & Hooks: Subscription hooks are now available, paving the way for more dynamic frontend subscription behavior.

Token Auth Consolidation: Student token authentication now prioritizes the newer DM token system while maintaining backward compatibility with AXD tokens.
Prometheus Monitoring for ASGI: A /metrics endpoint was added for ASGI-based Prometheus exporters, improving observability of real-time application performance.
Stripe & Notification Preferences: Stripe events were streamlined by updating subscription logic. Notification preferences now support per-platform and per-type configurations.
Mentor Indexing & Forking Features: Mentors can now be configured with forking logic and customized indexing behavior, increasing control over AI mentor deployment patterns.

Cleaner CLI Configs: Minor grammar improvements across CLI tooling to maintain consistency.
Dependency Restructuring: Tailwind was moved to devDependencies in containerized builds, aligning with best practices and reducing production bundle size.
