-**New version of the Conversational Language Understanding (CLU) training configuration**. This new version is aimed at minimizing overpredictions of the [None intent](conversational-language-understanding/concepts/none-intent.md)—particularly in multilingual contexts—is now available via the REST API using **trainingConfigVersion 2025-07-01-preview**.

 **Updated [Build your conversational agent](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/Azure-Language-OpenAI-Conversational-Agent-Accelerator) accelerator project**. The update includes a new routing strategy—**TRIAGE_AGENT**. This strategy uses an agent hosted on Azure AI Foundry Agent Service. It utilizes Conversational Language Understanding (CLU) and Custom Question Answering (CQA) as tools to triage user intent for downstream agent routing. Additionally, these tools help deliver precise answers to specific questions.
