Valence 1.0.3 — Runs on more GPUs, buy in a click, smarter defaults

Local AI now runs on more hardware, you can buy in one click, and smarter defaults mean less setup.

What's new

  • Local AI now runs on AMD and Intel GPUs — not just NVIDIA. Valence detects your graphics hardware and picks the right acceleration — NVIDIA via CUDA, AMD and Intel via Vulkan — and falls back to your CPU when there's no compatible GPU. It also tells you which one it's using, so nothing's a mystery. (SEQ-1247)
  • Buy Valence in one click — purchase a license directly from the app, no detour through the website. (IMP-1640)
  • Smarter defaults, less setup — local memory and file chunking are on out of the box, and Valence opens as a normal, right-sized window (no longer always-on-top). (IMP-1641 / IMP-1643 / IMP-1642 / SEQ-1250)
  • Your model's ready when setup finishes — the local model you download during setup is now selected automatically. (SEQ-1249)
  • You won't miss an update — when a new version is ready, Valence asks you front-and-center whether to download it now. (IMP-1645)

Fixes

  • Local-model errors are clearer — a simple, kid-friendly message in Kids Mode, and a clear, actionable one everywhere else (no more wall of technical text). (SEQ-1248)
  • Auto-switch triggers update live when you toggle them, instead of staying greyed out until you reopen Settings. (SEQ-1251)
  • Your memory count updates the moment a memory is saved. (SEQ-1253)
  • Fixed in-app updates failing to install with "the installation package could not be opened." (SEQ-1254)

Install

Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Download Valence-1.0.3.msi below and run it. Existing installs upgrade in place — your settings, profiles, and conversations are preserved. Valence runs fully offline; no account required.
