v0.4.5

Koder 0.4.5

Describe it. See it. Ship it.

Koder 0.4.5 introduces Design, a new way to build interfaces. It also brings Athena, a smarter way to choose a model, and a clearer view of the work as it happens.

Introducing Design

Describe a screen. Watch it come to life.

Design sits right beside Koder and Omni. Ask for a landing page, an onboarding flow or a settings screen, and Design builds a working prototype. Then it renders the prototype, studies its own screenshots and fixes what it finds.

• Live preview. Watch every change land in iPhone, Pixel, tablet and desktop frames.
• Point and change. Select any element and say what you want different.
• Tweak in real time. Adjust colours, fonts and sizes live, then save them straight to the code.
• Built to see. If your model can't read images, Design switches to one that can and tells you.

Meet Athena

One model that knows which model to use.

Athena is aixplain's meta LLM. For every request, it chooses how to answer from several models, so you get the right one without thinking about it. Where it's available, Athena is the default and the first choice in the model picker.

See the work, not the noise

Every step Koder takes now has a name: Read cart.js. Ran npm test. Edited cart.js. Steps add up in order and never flicker. The status settles on two words, Thinking and Working. A failure shows its exit code and last lines of output. A finished turn folds neatly into "Worked for 2m" above its answer. It works the same in the desktop app, the terminal and koder run.

Set it and forget it

Put Koder and Omni on a schedule. Run a task every morning, see its history, pause it or run it now. Unattended runs keep every deny rule. The new triggers skill schedules or event-triggers your aixplain agents.

A calmer Omni

Omni has been redesigned. The composer adapts as you type, Omni has a character you can shape, and a simple Ask, Auto and Full access switch sits beside Send.

And there's more

• MCP servers show their own brand icons.
• A fresh Koder, Omni and Design switch, now with icons.
• Long project paths stay inside the window.
• A new koder doctor command.
• A stalled model is retried where you can see it, and the error tells you what to try next.
• Logs redact secrets, Windows installs can roll back, and desktop updates show their progress.
• Patched WebSocket and URL-parsing dependencies.
