An identity and model-catalog release: every assistant gets a unique handle that doubles as its subdomain, the document editor gains agent-driven comments and find-and-replace, the model picker adds Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite GA, Grok 4.3, and Owl Alpha, OpenAI-compatible providers can finally point at any endpoint on macOS, and a new /clean slash command and a dock-icon fix tighten the day-to-day feel.

Highlights

  • Unique assistant handles and matching subdomains: every assistant now has a unique handle that doubles as its subdomain by default, the handle is editable inline from About Assistant, the subdomain locks to match it, and existing assistants were backfilled so handles are non-nullable across the system
  • Document editor agent tools: the assistant can now leave inline comments on documents and use grep and sed-style find-and-replace tools, so iterative edits run as tool calls instead of full rewrites
  • Custom email address builder in Pro onboarding: the Pro onboarding domain step now includes an inline email-address builder so you can configure a custom email domain end to end during signup, and the new assistant domain register --email-username flag does the same from the CLI
  • Expanded model catalog: Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite GA via Google, Grok 4.3 and Owl Alpha via OpenRouter, and Fireworks now respects per-model reasoning_effort ceilings so deep-thinking models stop getting clipped by a global cap
  • OpenAI-compatible providers on macOS: the provider connection editor now exposes Base URL and Models fields so you can point macOS at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (vLLM, Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp) without leaving Settings
  • New /clean slash command: strips runtime injections from the conversation without summarizing the rest of the turn, available in the web chat composer slash picker and on macOS
  • Inline file attachments in assistant message bubbles on macOS: file chips now render between paragraphs in assistant replies instead of all batching at the bottom of the message
  • macOS performance and reliability: dock icon image processing moves off the main thread to eliminate 2s+ AppHang events, self-signed certificate creation no longer duplicates on every build, and the home feed preserves read-row text contrast on dark backgrounds
