DSPy 3.4.0: Typed decisions (Noul/Choice/Score), ReAnchor calibrator, native LM engines

DSPy 3.4 adds Jev integration via the TypeSafe client with three experimental decision types—Noul (boolean), Choice, and Score—that expose probability evidence directly in DSPy signatures. A new ReAnchor optimizer calibrates thresholds/cuts/weights against a program metric. Native lm15 engines replace LiteLLM by default, with `register_provider` for custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible HTTP backends, plus async ReActV2 and a local CPython interpreter for trusted code.

capability delta

An agent can now emit typed probabilistic decisions (Noul/Choice/Score) with confidence evidence from DSPy signatures, calibrate decision thresholds against a metric via ReAnchor, and run against native LM engines or custom HTTP providers without LiteLLM.

curator note

Major DSPy release: introduces probability-aware typed outputs and a threshold/weight optimizer plus a native LM engine layer. Jev/TypeSafe naming is unusual—may be experimental partner branding.
