FastGPT 4.14.4 Key Technical Improvements for Self-Hosted Deployments

Storage & Infrastructure Tuning Several storage and infrastructure improvements are included in this release.

Storage & Infrastructure Tuning

Several storage and infrastructure improvements are included in this release. First, the S3 file upload timeout has been increased to 5 minutes, providing more reliable transfer for large binary assets. A new check for invalid S3 keys has also been added, catching misconfigured credentials or invalid bucket paths earlier in the upload workflow. For shared link custom authentication, the returned uid field is now limited to a maximum of 200 characters, resolving file upload failures caused by excessively long UID values. Additionally, MongoDB slow operation logs now accurately print the target collection name and full operation details, simplifying debugging for self-hosted administrators.

Application & Dataset Management

Lifecycle management for applications and datasets has been updated to reduce user friction and prevent accidental data loss. Dataset deletion now uses an asynchronous queue-based approach, eliminating blocking delays during large-scale dataset cleanup operations. Furthermore, deleting either an individual app or a dataset now requires users to enter the exact name of the resource as a confirmation step, adding a critical safeguard against unintended deletions.

LLM & Query Processing Enhancements

This release includes targeted improvements to LLM query handling and response formatting:

  1. Query rewriting now leverages JinaAI's marginal utility formula to identify and select the search term with the highest marginal gain, optimizing the relevance of retrieved context for chat workflows.
  2. Error messages for invalid images included in LLM requests have been refined to provide clearer, more actionable diagnostic information.
  3. A new response field is available for non-stream mode Completions API requests with detail=false: the reason_content field is now included in the API response, as detailed in the table below:
API EndpointRequest ModeParameter ValueNew Response Field
/v1/chat/completionsNon-streamdetail=falsereason_content

User Notification System Updates

User-facing notifications now support both Chinese and English languages, with revised, more consistent template formatting across all supported locales, ensuring clearer communication for all users regardless of language preference.
