Hi there,

Here's a roundup of the latest news at Grafana Labs this month, including the Grafana 13.2 release, a new open source SDK for building AI apps in Go, and exciting updates for ObservabilityCON 2026.

If you're ready to try the latest features yourself, the easiest way to get started is to sign up for the Grafana Cloud free tier, which includes free forever access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces, and more.

Grafana 13.2: faster insights with saved queries and more

Grafana 132

Grafana 13.2 is here, and the latest minor release is all about helping you explore your data and get to insights faster. Here are some of the highlights:

Reuse and manage trusted queries: Saved queries are now GA in Grafana Cloud and Grafana Enterprise, helping teams share, discover, and reuse vetted queries across their org.

Explore busy panels without editing dashboards: The new View panel sidebar lets you adjust visualization options and use fanout to break dense time series into separate graphs.

Do more with dashboards as code: Git Sync now supports GitHub Enterprise, adds webhooks for GitLab and Bitbucket, and lets you include author information in commits for clearer change history.

Introducing the Grafana AI SDK for Go

Grafana AI SDK for Go

Building an AI prototype is easy; turning a growing collection of experiments into consistent, production-ready apps is harder. That's why we built the Grafana AI SDK for Go, which gives developers a shared foundation for building and operating AI applications in Go.

With the open source SDK, you can:

Build across multiple model providers: Work with Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, and OpenAI through a single, consistent API.

Build agentic workflows: Create multi-step agents with tools, structured outputs, and human approval when needed.

Observe your AI applications: Built-in Agent Observability middleware records model and agent activity in Grafana, including usage, errors, multi-step relationships, and which provider served a routed call.
