Project-level cross-chat memories

Added the ability to retain identity preferences, project milestones, collaboration feedback, and external reference notes. New chats can pick up core project context automatically, without needing to repeat information.

Commercial use

Memory

2

Enterprise knowledge management with automatic experience capture

  • Added automatic capture of individual experiences from day-to-day coding, bug fixes, and code reviews to build a dedicated knowledge base.

  • Introduced automatic identification of frequent bug patterns, key technical decisions, and best practices within a project to build a project-level knowledge base.

  • Introduced a daily automated reflection process that surfaces and records new experiences, periodically generating experience summaries and reusable reports.

5

Codebase retrieval optimization

  • Optimized the vector algorithm, significantly improving code semantic search accuracy.

  • Overcame scale limitations to enable efficient retrieval across large codebases.

  • Built a global code dependency graph, supporting full-chain call tracing and in-depth module architecture analysis.

  • Introduced a new hybrid "vector + graph" dual-engine retrieval system, delivering more precise code search results.

  • Reduced token consumption while optimizing both retrieval efficiency and operating cost.

21

Experience and detail optimization

  • When adding a file/folder as context, you can click it to jump directly to its containing directory.
  • When creating a custom agent, you can freely specify the basic model.
  • You can cancel an in-progress prompt optimization task at any time.
  • Added the ability to adjust model reasoning intensity, letting you balance AI reasoning depth against response speed as needed.
  • Improved the prompt shown when context is too long and gets compressed.
  • Windows: Fixed an intermittent issue where the login page did not automatically close after a successful login.
  • Windows: The model list refreshes automatically after adding a custom model, no longer requiring a manual click on the refresh icon.
  • Windows: After a custom agent is deleted, the system automatically switches to the primary agent, improving workflow continuity.
  • Fixed an issue where model data loaded too slowly in certain scenarios.
  • Fixed an intermittent issue where the model list failed to load.
  • Fixed an issue where individual edition users could not log in to the console.
  • Fixed a request parameter error related to chat_id in the Q&A process.
  • Optimized some functions and fixed some known issues.
