Mar 1, 2026In March 2026, IBM/prompt-declaration-language delivered a focused feature that refactors PPDL examples and strengthens testing, with broader gains in reliability and library compatibility. Two commits were consolidated into a single feature that updates dependencies (mu-ppl to scipy) for Gaussian distributions, removes outdated files and dependencies, aligns examples with latest models, and enhances the testing framework with new expected results. The change also updates multiple PPDL examples to leverage scipy and granite4:micro models, and refreshes test configurations to improve reproducibility and analytics.
