v2.6.1 — Telemetry That Names What It Actually Runs
gentle-pi v2.6.1 is a small maintenance release: it corrects runtime telemetry so that models running on custom or lesser-known Pi providers are reported by name instead of collapsing into an unknown bucket, and it re-pins the package-local Gentle AI runtime to the latest patch release.

What's new
Runtime telemetry recognizes models from any provider
Runtime telemetry only recognized 15 known model ids across 7 pi-ai providers, so any open-weight model served through a custom Pi provider (for example a NanoGPT provider serving deepseek-v4-flash or glm5.3) always left the machine as custom/custom; collector data showed roughly 60% of Pi tokens arriving with no model attached. Telemetry now derives model identity through a schema-driven normalizer mirrored from gentle-ai, recognizing any public model family prefix while keeping private or unrecognized identities behind the unknown/unknown, custom/custom, and opencode/custom sentinels. Closes #968.
Included work: #970.

gentle-ai syncThis release pins Gentle AI v2.8.1. All four platform archives and their extracted binaries are SHA-256 pinned, and the Windows source install is bound to the v2.8.1 Go SumDB checksum.
What was fixed
Package-local Gentle AI pin
Bumped the pinned Gentle AI runtime from v2.8.0 to v2.8.1: INSTALLER_VERSION, the four Darwin/Linux archive and executable SHA-256 digests (verified against the release's Minisign-signed checksums.txt), and the Windows Go SumDB module checksum for the source build. The new 2.8.1 native review capability row repeats 2.8.0, since the provider contract stays at bundle 1.2.0.
Included work: #974.
