Privacy AI: Powerful chatbot

FEATURES - AI Keyboard A new system-wide keyboard brings Privacy AI into any app where you type. Turn it on once, then in Mail, Messages, Notes, or anywhere else, tap the mic to dictate by voice, or tap Process to rewrite, polish, translate, or reshape what you have written, replaced in place with one-tap Undo. Build your own pipelines (ordered steps such as Polish then Translate) or start from ready-made presets like Proofread, Email, and Summary. Everything runs through the app on your device, so your text stays private and never leaves your phone. - Image Prompt Wizard Building a good image prompt is now much easier. Tap Prompt Wizard on the image generation screen to browse a curated library of prompt templates by their sample picture, pick one, and fill in its options. You can also type a single subject and have AI fill in every field for you in one tap, then preview the finished prompt before you generate. Each template credits its original author. IMPROVEMENTS - Local Engine Update (llama.cpp b9754) The on-device inference engine was updated to the latest build for faster and steadier local models. Multimodal models process attached images more quickly, large models now show real progress while they load, and more models support speculative decoding for quicker replies. Updated graphics and audio components improve performance and stability across the board. - MLX Engine Update (mlx-swift) The Apple MLX inference engine was refreshed for lower memory use and better stability. Vision models now read long prompts in smaller pieces, sharply cutting peak memory so large image chats run more reliably on device. Speculative decoding automatically steps aside when memory is tight, so it never slows you down. This update also adds the Gemma 4 12B Unified and Nemotron text-diffusion models and fixes loading of Qwen3.5, Qwen3-Next, and nomic-embed models.

FEATURES - Smart Chat Automatic Model Routing Smart Chat picks the best AI model for every message automatically, so you never have to choose. Set up your model tiers once (a fast model for simple questions, a capable model for complex work, a reasoning model for hard problems, and a local model for anything private), then just type. Smart Chat reads each message for complexity, privacy sensitivity, and content type and routes it, with a badge on each reply showing which model answered and why. Personal or sensitive messages stay on a local on-device model, you can set per-setup spending budgets, and you can override any single choice. - Video Input For Local Vision Models Attach a video to a chat with a local vision model (such as Qwen-VL or Gemma) and it describes what happens across the clip. The app samples evenly spaced frames and feeds them to the on-device model, so it sees motion and multiple moments rather than a single still. This matches cloud models, fully on device and private. IMPROVEMENTS - Faster Sharing To Chat Sharing a file such as a video now opens the chat right away and prepares the file inside it, with a progress overlay, before sending automatically. No more waiting on a loading screen. If the file cannot be processed, the chat still opens and explains what went wrong. Works in regular chats and Smart Chats. - Resume Interrupted Model Downloads Large model downloads now pick up where they left off instead of restarting from zero. If your connection drops, you cancel and restart, or you leave the app and return, the download continues from where it reached, saving time and data on multi-gigabyte files. Applies to all model types. - Resend Keeps Both Replies Resending now keeps the original AI reply and adds the new one as a variant instead of replacing it. An inline picker (such as 2 of 3) appears on the latest reply so you can flip between versions and pick one. Switching a variant also updates what the assistant carries forward. Works in main chat and Smart Chats. - Local Engine Update (llama.cpp b9663) The on-device inference engine was updated to the latest build, adding video understanding for multimodal models, faster image processing when several pictures are attached, new model architectures, and audio and graphics fixes. - MLX Engine Update (Gemma 4 and Vision) The Apple Silicon MLX engine was updated for faster, steadier on-device models. Gemma 4 gains optional speculative decoding for quicker replies, and its image understanding uses less memory so long prompts with pictures no longer fail on iPhone and iPad. Qwen vision uses less memory too, and Gemma 4, Falcon H1, and LFM2 are more accurate. BUG FIXES - MiniMax-M3 Image and Video Input Fixed multimodal input for MiniMax-M3. Images no longer fail with an "invalid image detail" error, and attached videos are now sent in a format the model recognizes, so it describes the video instead of ignoring it. Videos over 50 MB show a note suggesting the convert-to-text option.

FEATURES - Sign in with ChatGPT Use your ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription instead of an OpenAI API key to route Codex models. xAI Grok OAuth also ships. - Live Performance Stats In Chats While streaming, a line shows elapsed time, decode speed, and context usage; an expandable row adds time to first token and token counts. - Exa Web Search Provider Exa joins Tavily, Serper, Brave, and LangSearch: neural search returning full page text, 1,000 free searches per month. - User Profile From Your Memories Each memory sector's Profile button asks an AI model to summarize its long-term memories into a short paragraph that prefixes every chat there. - One-Tap Memory Consolidation A Consolidate button finds near-duplicate long-term memories and merges each cluster into one entry. - Memory Maintenance In One Tap Profile and Consolidate first categorize Uncategorized memories and promote short-term notes to long-term. - Memory Audit History A new Audit History view lists every add, update, and delete with keyword search. - On-Device Model Benchmark A Benchmark button runs a llama-bench style test reporting speed and peak memory, then suggests optimal context, batch, and thread settings.

BUG FIXES - Soul Greeting Now Appears From the Model View Starting a chat with a Soul from model settings now shows its configured first message. - Attaching a Video to Chat Fixed Video Processing Error: file doesn't exist when attaching a video. - Empty Transcript From iOS Speech Fixed the iOS speech recognizer returning nothing on a clear recording. - Convert to Text Could Hang Fixed the iOS Speech Analyzer getting stuck at Analyzing audio; it now falls back to the system recognizer. - Legacy Memories Now Reachable Memories with an Uncategorized chip were invisible to Consolidate and Profile; all maintenance flows now pick them up. - Memory AI Calls No Longer Stall On First Event Fixed Profile, Consolidate, and Categorize calls returning empty when the first AI event was misread as the end. - Memory List Refreshes After Maintenance After Profile or Consolidate, Uncategorized chips on just-categorized rows disappear immediately. - VoiceOver Input Stays Reachable After Sending Fixed the chat input collapsing after sending; with VoiceOver it stays visible and focusable.

FEATURES - Video Understanding From Any Link Paste a link and the assistant pulls page text, title, and captions. Missing captions trigger on-device transcription. Social links merge post text with attached-video captions, and links with long tracking parameters no longer truncate. Works with most major video and social platforms. - Real-Time Flight Search New search_flight tool returns status, delays, gates, and baggage with fallback across FlightAware, AirLabs, AviationStack, AeroDataBox. IMPROVEMENTS - Faster first reply in a new chat (skips the relevance scorer). - Keyboard opens automatically in empty chats. - Input bar no longer collapses while a draft is in the field. - Quick Ask, LLM Council, Siri, sub-agents no longer disturb an open OpenAI Responses chat. - llama.cpp b9279: HunyuanOCR/HunyuanVL unified, DeepSeek-OCR resize fix, faster Metal, NvFP4 LM head, sliding-window crash fix. - MLX-Swift tag-20260522: Gemma 4 ~24 percent faster, three Gemma 4 crashes fixed, Idefics3 prefill in one pass, Qwen3.5/Qwen3VL/GlmOcr M-RoPE stable. - GGUF tool calling: Gemma 4, Qwen, LFM2 reliably invoke tools via OpenAI function-calling schema. - Faster first reply from local GGUF: Metal kernels pre-compile at load. - Novel Writer on small local models: outline parser recovers from missing tags, character names stay stable, stray markers no longer leak in. - Banner on small local models showing context size and output cap. - Reasoning models (GLM-5.1, DeepSeek, OpenAI o-series) now get budget for hidden reasoning plus full structured output. - Chapter correction pass extends chapters under 70 percent or condenses over 130 percent. - Token Usage charts now count thinking tokens for reasoning models. - Duplicate bottom chat action bar removed; all actions in the top-right menu.

Prevents any single result from dominating large context windows (80K-256K+). Default is context size / 6 (clamped between 1000 and 24000 tokens) and auto-adjusts when you change context length. Keeps conversation history and reasoning balanced. - Ministral-3-3B-Reasoning Support Full local support for Ministral-3-3B-Reasoning-2512: a compact 3.4B-parameter model with 256K context, optimized for edge devices. A new chain-of-responsibility parser automatically handles diverse tool-call formats, including Ministral's unique style. Enables strong multi-step reasoning, mathematics, and science tasks entirely on-device. Improvements - Enhanced Thinking Display Reasoning view now auto-scrolls to follow streaming content, with a subtle pause/resume toggle. Long thoughts (50K+ characters) render smoothly via virtualized text chunks instead of single blocks. No more freezes during complex reasoning. - Clearer Max Tool Calls Messaging When the tool-call limit is reached, a plain message explains the issue and offers two fixes: raise the limit in Chat Config or tap Rethink to continue. Eliminates confusing raw tool syntax from models that ignore stop commands. - Streamlined Auto Tool Workflow Simplified discovery and calling: tools are described once, then invoked directly by name. Reduces latency and complexity in multi-tool flows. - Better Tool Call Error Handling Tool results are now transient. Duplicate calls return short acknowledgments to save tokens. Failed calls are not cached and are skipped during Rethink. Makes multi-step workflows more reliable and token-efficient. - llama.cpp Engine Upgrade (b7549 to b7610) Adds support for new multimodal models (Youtu-VL, IQuestCoder, Modern-BERT). iOS-specific Metal optimizations and fixes for large-tensor stability improve performance and reliability on high-context models. - Clearer Local Model Error Messages Load failures now show specific, actionable explanations (e.g., unsupported architecture, insufficient memory, invalid GGUF) instead of generic errors. - Custom Thinking Tags for Local Models Local models can now use custom start/end tags for reasoning blocks, configured per model. - Anna's Archive Support New plugin extracts search results and book details from annas-archive.org into clean Markdown, including metadata tables (author, publisher, format, size, language, year) and download links. - Polymarket Tool Upgrade Rewritten to use the official Gamma API. Supports natural-language queries and returns 50+ fields per market (odds, volume, liquidity, price history, event URLs). - Higher Default Max Tool Calls Increased from 6 to 9 per response, allowing deeper single-turn reasoning without manual adjustment. Bug Fixes - Rethink for Reasoning Models Fixed HTTP 400 errors during Rethink on models like deepseek-reasoner, gemini-3-pro, minimax-m2, and kimi-k2-thinking by adding proper fallbacks for missing reasoning content. - Duplicate Reasoning Content Eliminated double-sending of reasoning blocks to modern models. Reduces reasoning token usage by 50-100% while staying compatible with older formats. - Custom API Endpoint Handling Fixed empty endpoint values when using non-default keys. Now correctly falls back to the first available endpoint for custom/self-hosted configurations.

Fatal Bug Fixes - Memory Search Crash Fixed a critical memory crash that occurred when using the memory feature. It was caused by loading an external model for semantic search. Improvements - Enhanced Share Actions Privacy AI's share extension now includes 13 comprehensive quick actions that cover content understanding, writing productivity, and research workflows. New actions include Key Takeaways (extract main points), Explain Simply (ELI5-style explanations), Proofread & Polish (grammar and style improvements), Extract Action Items (identify tasks and deadlines), Create Outline (structured hierarchy), Expand & Elaborate (detailed development), and Research Deep Dive (comprehensive analysis with citations). All 13 actions are organized by frequency of use for faster access.
