Open Chat Updates

The app now runs on a fully rewritten TanStack Start (Vite) frontend, replacing the previous Next.js experience. This update also moves sign-in to Better Auth with GitHub OAuth and standardizes chat AI access on the OpenRouter SDK, with an optional account connection for higher limits.

Authentication now uses Better Auth with GitHub OAuth, so signing in is simpler and sessions work consistently across refreshes and server-side requests. This release also adds daily search usage limits and persists tool activity and reasoning-related UI so chats render more reliably after reloads.

Stopping a response now updates the interface immediately and also cancels the active request on the server, so generation does not continue in the background. This release also refines reasoning display, including support for showing reasoning above the answer and indicating when reasoning was requested but not returned.

This release applies critical security fixes by updating key web dependencies to address multiple reported vulnerabilities. It mitigates risks including remote code execution, denial of service, and potential source code exposure, helping keep your data and sessions safer.

Reasoning settings are now easier to find and adjust, with a new popover and clear preset levels including Low. Reasoning can also be enabled across supported models based on your selection, and mandatory reasoning detection is now limited to OpenAI o1 and o3 models for more accurate behavior.

A new Sponsors Box is now available on the desktop dashboard, showing sponsor links with short descriptions on hover. You can dismiss it with a single click, and it will stay hidden in future sessions, keeping your workspace tidy while still making sponsor info easy to find when you want it.

Changelog generation now treats HTTP 201 Created as a successful response, in addition to HTTP 200 OK. This prevents false warning messages when AutoChangelog completes successfully but returns 201 instead of 200.

This release adds persistent chat streaming that can survive disconnects, along with a series of fixes for React hydration and reload-related errors in chat and dashboard views. It also updates sign-in behavior with WorkOS, including email verification support for GitHub OAuth, and includes a security patch for a critical React Server Components issue.

In this update, we've addressed several important issues related to chat functionality and navigation within the application. Users will now enjoy a more seamless experience when navigating between pages and accessing chat features, ensuring that their chats persist correctly without interruption.
