v1.0
DownloadPresentations
- Direct chat-to-slides generation — no separate outline LLM step or editor gate before HTML generation.
- Faithful slide content — titles, Key Concept, and bullet text render as written in chat.
- Per-slide styling — light or dark themes chosen by the model; no forced uniform dark shell.
- Optional visuals — real image URLs when they help; inline SVG for diagrams; text-only slides are fine.
Agent performance
- Faster deterministic paths for common file organization and simple create-file/folder tasks.
UI
- Silica blue palette rollout, Models Hub redesign, and broader UI polish across chat, settings, and workflows.

v1.0.1
v1.0.1
DownloadNew & Improved
- Financial Analysis workspace — analyze spreadsheets directly in chat: growth rates, margins, variance, DCF, and benchmark comparisons with charts and exportable results.
- Financial Pack v2 — expanded sector and company benchmarks (including Healthcare), with in-app pack updates from Settings -> Knowledge Packs.
- Smarter spreadsheet handling — multi-file and multi-sheet support with active file selection, sheet dropdown, and clearer dataset disambiguation when attachments are ambiguous.
- Gemma 4 MTP acceleration — Gemma 4 26B/31B models now route through llama-server with draft-MTP for faster generation on supported Apple Silicon Macs (requires llama-server b9585+).
- Better Gemma 4 support overall — improved built-in Gemma 4 vision handling, higher Pro-tier context defaults on 24 GB machines, and clearer guidance to update Vision Support when needed.
Fixes
- Fixed follow-up prompts losing tables and charts on repeat financial analysis questions.
- Fixed Excel workbook extraction and prevented silent text-only fallback on compute turns.
- Improved benchmark routing so sector/ticker clarifications reflect the installed Financial Pack, not just bundled seed data.
- Fixed multi-series chart legend colors and split charts by numeric scale for clearer visualization.
