## Key Highlights

LiteLLM v1.72.0-stable.rc is live now. Here are the key highlights of this release:

- **Vector Store Permissions**: Control Vector Store access at the Key, Team, and Organization level.
- **Rate Limiting Sliding Window support**: Improved accuracy for Key/Team/User rate limits with request tracking across minutes.
- **Aiohttp Transport used by default**: Aiohttp transport is now the default transport for LiteLLM networking requests. This gives users 2x higher RPS per instance with a 40ms median latency overhead.
- **Bedrock Agents**: Call Bedrock Agents with `/chat/completions`, `/response` endpoints.
- **Anthropic File API**: Upload and analyze CSV files with Claude-4 on Anthropic via LiteLLM.
- **Prometheus**: End users (`end_user`) will no longer be tracked by default on Prometheus. Tracking end_users on prometheus is now opt-in. This is done to prevent the response from `/metrics` from  becoming too large. [Read More](../../docs/proxy/prometheus#tracking-end_user-on-prometheus)

## Vector Store Permissions

This release brings support for managing permissions for vector stores by Keys, Teams, Organizations (entities) on LiteLLM. When a request attempts to query a vector store, LiteLLM will block it if the requesting entity lacks the proper permissions.

This is great for use cases that require access to restricted data that you don't want everyone to use. 

Over the next week we plan on adding permission management for MCP Servers.

## Aiohttp Transport used by default

Aiohttp transport is now the default transport for LiteLLM networking requests. This gives users 2x higher RPS per instance with a 40ms median latency overhead. This has been live on LiteLLM Cloud for a week + gone through alpha users testing for a week.


If you encounter any issues, you can disable using the aiohttp transport in the following ways:

**On LiteLLM Proxy**

Set the `DISABLE_AIOHTTP_TRANSPORT=True` in the environment variables. 

```yaml showLineNumbers title="Environment Variable"
export DISABLE_AIOHTTP_TRANSPORT="True"
```

**On LiteLLM Python SDK**

Set the `disable_aiohttp_transport=True` to disable aiohttp transport. 

```python showLineNumbers title="Python SDK"
import litellm

litellm.disable_aiohttp_transport = True # default is False, enable this to disable aiohttp transport
result = litellm.completion(
    model="openai/gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, world!"}],
)
print(result)
```
