The one where Vellum starts handling your speech for you, GPT-5.6 lands with prompt caching, and your phone learns to swipe.

  • Vellum can handle your speech now. Speech-to-text and text-to-speech used to mean going and getting your own API keys from a provider like ElevenLabs or Deepgram. Now Vellum offers speech through its own managed service, and it turns on automatically when you connect your Vellum account and deducts from your credit balance. You can still use your own API keys any time from the Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text cards in Settings.
  • GPT-5.6 with prompt caching. GPT-5.6 models are now available. They support prompt caching, which means the big chunks of text that get sent every turn (system prompts, tool definitions, your conversation history) get cached by the provider, so follow-up turns cost less. You also see a visible "thinking" summary when the model reasons before answering, instead of a silent gap where you're wondering if it's working.
  • Touch gestures on mobile. Swipe left on a conversation to reveal delete, pin, or rename. Press and hold a message to get copy, edit, or retry. Swipe through a message's image gallery instead of tapping little arrows. Swipe app windows and drawers away to close them. Plus a stack of iOS fixes: the keyboard dismisses properly when you open the mobile menu, swipe-action rows don't accidentally open the menu anymore, and the light-mode seam at the bottom of the screen is gone.
  • Plugin marketplace is more reliable. Before, you'd sometimes see a plugin in search results that 404'd when you tried to install it. Search, install, and details now all pull from the same source, so that doesn't happen. Plugins can now include their own mini web pages (like a dashboard or a settings panel), ship proper image icons instead of just emoji, and the CLI fills in a missing package.json for you when you're scaffolding a new one.
  • Channel trust floors. There's a settings card on the Privacy page that lets you control who can send messages to your assistant on each channel (Slack, Telegram, etc.).
  • More capabilities for apps. Apps running inside Vellum can now push messages into conversations, include bundled files like images and fonts, and receive live updates when something changes externally.
  • Smoother streaming chat. Hover actions on messages now collapse into a clean avatar reveal instead of cluttering the screen. Streamed text fades in instead of popping in, and the first-turn jump where the UI would briefly glitch is fixed. The credential card in Settings is redesigned with a click-to-reveal toggle so you don't accidentally expose your API keys. Links inside rendered components (like recipe cards or search results) are now clickable. The risk section in the tool drawer is renamed to "Risk Level" and the old trust-rule button is gone.
  • New skill: chat-complex-documents. A bundled skill for turning messy documents (PDFs, scanned files, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) into clean structured text you can search and ask questions about. Available in the skills catalog.
