#518 516725f Thanks @sameelarif! - act() can now use observe() under the hood, resulting in significant performance improvements. To opt-in to this change, set slowDomBasedAct: false in ActOptions.
#483 8c9445f Thanks @seanmcguire12! - When using textExtract, you can now do targetted extraction by passing an xpath string into extract via the selector parameter. This limits the dom processing step to a target element, reducing tokens and increasing speed. For example:
const weatherData = await stagehand.page.extract({
instruction: "extract the weather data for Sun, Feb 23 at 11PM",
schema: z.object({
temperature: z.string(),
weather_description: z.string(),
wind: z.string(),
humidity: z.string(),
barometer: z.string(),
visibility: z.string(),
}),
modelName,
useTextExtract,
selector: xpath, // xpath of the element to extract from
});#556 499a72d Thanks @kamath! - You can now set a timeout for dom-based stagehand act! Do this in act with timeoutMs as a parameter, or set a global param to actTimeoutMs in Stagehand config.
#544 55c9673 Thanks @seanmcguire12! - you can now deterministically get the full text representation of a webpage by calling extract() (with no arguments)
#538 d898d5b Thanks @sameelarif! - Added gpt-4.5-preview and claude-3-7-sonnet-latest as supported models.
#523 44cf7cc Thanks @kwt00! You can now natively run Cerebras LLMs! cerebras-llama-3.3-70b and cerebras-llama-3.1-8b are now supported models as long as CEREBRAS_API_KEY is set in your environment.
#542 cf7fe66 Thanks @sankalpgunturi! You can now natively run Groq LLMs! groq-llama-3.3-70b-versatile and groq-llama-3.3-70b-specdec are now supported models as long as GROQ_API_KEY is set in your environment.
