  • Snap photos using the webcam (Labs feature)
  • Use the 'paste' button (Shift + Ctrl + V) for quick clipboard access

  • HTML can be as-is or text
  • Text remains as text within Markdown blocks for consistency
• Desktop Webcam access for direct image uploads. (Labs) The image is OCR'd (for now), and soon fun modes will be enabled with Vision
• Overheat LLMs, raising the maximum model 'temperature' to 2 (can lead to instability, but can also be very creative)
• Oobabooga/Text-Generation-WebUI: fix support
• Ollama: update to the latest models
• Quick model settings access via Ctrl+Shift+O
• Optimized voice input and app performance
• Cosmetic improvements to the UI
