(iOS 27) - Apple Private Cloud Compute: Apple's larger cloud model, free within your Apple allowance, no account and no API key. (iOS 27) - Apple models can see your pictures, up to four per message. (iOS 27) - Models without vision get an on-device description of a photo that has no writing in it. (iOS 27) - Core AI models from HuggingFace, filtered to the builds your device can run. - Speech recognition on the Neural Engine: 25 European languages, keeps transcribing in the background. (iOS 27) - 28 Kokoro voices in 756 MB, half the disk of the existing pack. (iOS 27) - Extract Text: one tool for slide decks, spreadsheets, PDFs, e-books, charts and screenshots, from a file or a web address. - Swedish, fully translated, with keyboard layout, prediction, dictation and voices. - Live speech recognition in 33 languages, written down as you speak. - Sub-agents on remote models, each with its own context, model and report. - Python: scipy and scikit-learn for statistics and machine learning. - Python: statsmodels for regression and forecasting, with seaborn. - Python: TA-Lib, backtesting.py and quantstats for market analysis. IMPROVEMENTS - Transcribe Media prefers a video's published captions, and says which source it used. - Text inside a page's images can be read, and those images load in parallel. - Scripts get an app tool's full result, saved to your workspace when too large. - New Home screen: twelve tiles for every chat surface and mini app. - Sequential Thinking retired; Critical Thinking stands alone and frees context. - iCloud Drive chats: lists open at once, cloud-only files are marked not hidden, and a failed read never overwrites good data. - llama.cpp 0.4.1: 310 changes, per-chip attention, Metal 4 on M5 and A19, leak fixes. - MLX 20260918: reliable tool-call parsing, faster ParoQuant loading, own thread. - mlx-audio 20260918: thirteen new speech model families, faster speaker separation. - FluidAudio 20260918: Kokoro fully on the Neural Engine, clearer audio, fuller transcripts. - Scripts can open a file by name from the chat workspace, not just save one. BUG FIXES - Second-device projects and chats no longer look deleted before iCloud fetches them. - File search reports the right line number when blank lines precede the match. - File names with spaces open normally. - Retired tools are removed on update; your selection moves to their replacement. - Long data series no longer come back empty, and the reply says how many it shows. - A stalled reply respects your time limit. - A batch of edits is no longer lost to one malformed tag. - A failed request no longer counts as a completed Agent turn. - A large result saved into the workspace is now complete. Open Apple Models to try Private Cloud Compute, or run a Neural Engine model and switch apps while it writes.

BUG FIXES - Running Python Works Again An urgent fix. Running Python did not work at all in 3.1.0. The agent and skills rely on it to do real work, so this restores a large part of what they can do. Update now and your agents and skills can run Python again.

FEATURES - Doc Scanner Turn a PDF, a photo, or a camera scan into clean text you can read, search, share, or chat with, on device. Each page is analysed twice: a layout model finds every element and its reading order, then each is read on its own with a prompt matched to what it is, so a table stays a table and an equation an equation. Reading a whole page at once is what makes an AI invent text, so Privacy AI does not. An interrupted scan resumes where it stopped. Pick Standard or Thorough detail, whether to keep the page's pictures, and whether to keep page numbers, all changeable afterwards without re-scanning. IMPROVEMENTS - Doc Scanner reads more accurately: the model takes its best guess, not a random one of its ten best, and faint text is no longer discarded unread. Agreement with a real paper's own words rose from 93 to 97 percent - A title repeated on several pages is rendered as a title on each of them, so a multi page form keeps its heading. Figure, chart, and table captions are unchanged - The on-device engine gains 391 changes from llama.cpp: per chip tuning makes generation faster on every Apple chip from M1 to M5, a memory leak on long conversations is fixed, images are prepared as models expect so every vision model reads better, and video prompts cost about half - Eleven new model families, four small enough for a phone: Granite SWA, Granite Switch 3B, Nanbeige 4.2 3B, and Pocket TTS, plus BailingMoE3, Kimi K3, MiniMax 01, Qwen3.8 Flash Next, Muse Glimmer, dots3-note, and speculative decoding for GLM-4.5-Air - The MLX engine gains 54 changes: models load up to 1.8 times faster, Qwen3.5 and Qwen3 mixture of experts models generate faster, large images no longer exhaust memory on Qwen3 VL, Qwen3.5 VL, and GLM-OCR, and tool calls keep whole numbers and long values intact - New MLX models: Muse Glimmer, 30 billion parameters, reads images and calls tools, Helium and TranslateGemma translate, and Jina Reranker v3 and BGE sort results - An email run report of ten or more messages gains a search box and a filter over senders, subjects, summaries, categories, and folders, matching accented names and full width Chinese - What the email assistant created and learned now sits directly under the summary, so undoing an action no longer means scrolling past every thread - A document outline tells VoiceOver how deep each entry sits and where it jumps, and the reader's loading indicators are named and report progress BUG FIXES - Web pages in a chat or agent workspace opened with a server not found error instead of the page, images and all - A document whose first heading came partway through lost everything above it, and a # inside a code block was read as a heading. Both are fixed, and code blocks stay whole - The search boxes for choosing a model, finding a server, and picking from a list stayed in English whatever the app language Open Doc Scanner, point it at a PDF or a photo, and watch a page become text without leaving your device.

FEATURES - Agent Works toward one goal over many turns. It plans, calls tools, keeps its own files, and delivers a report you can share. - Skills A folder of instructions and scripts that teaches the AI how you want a job done, and becomes a tool it calls by name. Import one from a link, a zip, or a folder, or write it in the app. - Text To Audio Turn text, PDF, ePub, or Word into one audio file with on-device speech models. Nothing is uploaded, and a long conversion resumes where it stopped. - Chat About One Email Start a chat about a single thread from its report, answered by your private model. - Alerts On Events And Reminders Events and reminders created from your mail now get an alert. - Cache Details And Statistics Each reply shows how much of the prompt came from the provider's cache and what it saved. IMPROVEMENTS - Health data tool removed: get_health_data and the Apple Health integration are gone, and no Apple Health data is read - Cached input is billed at the cheaper rate, so costs and spending limits reflect real spend - Engine updates: llama.cpp b10333 adds a GPU math fix and new models, MLX 20260810 reads long prompts 9 percent faster - Python gains numpy, Pillow, and regex on iPhone and iPad, draws charts, and scripts can import others beside them - Saving, listing, and deleting files are now three named tools, so the AI picks the right one first time - Every tool's description and input rules were audited, so tools are chosen and called correctly - Agent runs read their plan back from their own folder and carry reasoning forward - Skills written for desktop tools work here, with command line steps translated - Act on an email while reading it, write your own reply, long inbox runs resume after iOS pauses them, and sender rules and report lists collapse older months - A blocked or verification page is recognized from the server's response, not the wording - Permanent deletes ask you to type DELETE instead of the item's exact name - Statistics gains cache columns and charts, an About page, and VoiceOver chart descriptions BUG FIXES - With iCloud Drive off, the app leaves iCloud alone, and clearing leftovers is yours to start in Settings - Chats with automatic tool selection no longer fail before starting on some providers - MLX models including Gemma 4, Granite 4, and LFM2.5 generate replies again - Pocket TTS packs are repaired automatically, and Kokoro voices in six more languages work - Shell commands chained with &&, ||, and ; run every step, and output is complete with no internal tracing - Flight status, delay, gate, terminal, baggage, and airport boards work again - Subtitle downloads no longer come back empty on a language mismatch - Sub-agents run on on-device models, freeing the previous model first - A rethink keeps tool steps under the previous reply, and a failed retry keeps that reply - The File TTS tab is now called File ASR, which is what it does - In Statistics, Refresh reloads the current tab, cards match height, and headings follow your language Thanks to everyone who reported the File ASR name, the Kokoro voices, and the Pocket TTS packs. Open Agent, give it a goal, and see what it comes back with.

FEATURES - Email Assistant A new mini app that triages your inbox. Connect any IMAP account with an app password, tap Process Inbox, and the AI reads unread mail, flags what needs a reply, and files the rest into folders under an AI label. Choose to summarize, organize, or also move obvious junk. Each run makes a dated report where every decision undoes with one tap, and your corrections teach your preferences. Passwords stay in the Keychain, content is never stored, and nothing is deleted. Mail can also become calendar events, reminders, and notes. - Name Your Pipeline Steps Give each step in an AI Keyboard pipeline its own name, so it shows your label instead of "Custom". - Reusable Saved Steps Save any named step to a personal library and reuse it across pipelines, each an independent copy. - Video on Local Vision Models MLX vision models can now understand video, not just images. Attach a short clip; set the frame count, rate, and size per model. - TurboQuant for Long Chats An opt-in option that keeps your whole conversation in on-device memory by compressing cached values, so long chats use less memory with a small quality trade-off. - Import MLX Models from ZIP Add your own MLX model from a ZIP on your device, no download needed. Tap Import From Local, pick a zip with the model folder, and it installs. IMPROVEMENTS - Local Engine Update (llama.cpp b10091) Two-bit (Q2_0) models now run on the GPU on Apple Silicon, and Qwen3-VL reads layouts more accurately. Adds Laguna code models and completes DeepSeek V4 support. - MLX Engine Update Major memory savings for vision models: Qwen3.5 VL and Qwen3 VL handle long and multi-image prompts with far less memory, and multi-turn image chats stay consistent. Generation also stops cleanly when the app backgrounds. - Engine-Aware Model Settings Settings now show only the options the model's engine actually uses, each tagged with its engine. MLX models now respect Top-K and Min-P. BUG FIXES - Memory Profile Stays On Topic The memory profile now appears only when memory is on and a sector is selected, and no longer blends unrelated sectors together. - Dismiss The Suggestion Bar The word suggestion bar can now be closed with an X, and no longer covers the pipeline picker. - No More Duplicate Imported Models Fixed a model imported from a local GGUF file reappearing as extra "Recovered from" copies after relaunch. Earlier duplicates are cleaned up. - Local Chat No Longer Fails When Memory Is On Local models with memory enabled no longer show a false error. With both models on-device, the chat keeps running and Apple Intelligence saves memories. - Local Models Remember Your Conversation Small on-device models no longer claim they cannot remember earlier messages. A hidden bookkeeping line fed to the model as an instruction is gone. - Long Chat Setting Stays Put Changing how a local model handles conversations that outgrow its context window now sticks, instead of reverting when set inside a chat.

FEATURES - Open Keyboard On Microphone The AI Keyboard can open straight into dictation, ready to record the moment it appears. - Auto-Process After Dictation Stop recording and your pipeline runs automatically, returning the result in place with one-tap Undo. - Dictation Sound Cues Subtle sounds mark when recording starts, when processing begins, and when your text is ready. - Live Dictation Preview Your transcription previews live as you speak and is inserted the moment you stop. - Multi-Language Keyboard Type across all 11 app languages, with Chinese Pinyin and Japanese candidates, Korean Hangul, and European accents. - Inline AI Instructions Tap AI and type an instruction like "intro to Beijing"; it is filled in place while the rest of your text stays put. - Memory For The AI Keyboard Attach a memory sector so Process and inline AI use your identity, preferences, and style. Read on device, off until you opt in. - Knowledge Wiki Turn your documents into a personal, cross-linked knowledge base the AI builds and maintains, stored on device as plain Markdown. - Add Sources From Anywhere Build a wiki from PDF, Word, EPUB, web pages, Markdown, text, CSV, photos, videos, and links. - Ask Your Knowledge Base Ask in plain language and get an answer from your sources, linked to the exact pages. Choose Quick or Thorough. - Interactive Knowledge Graph See how everything connects in a live map: pinch, drag, and tap any point to open its page. - Automatic Overview and Insights Each wiki keeps a living Overview the AI rewrites as you add material, plus AI Graph Insights into the biggest themes. - Wikis In Your Language Pick a language and the AI writes every page and answer in it, across all supported app languages. - Git Sync For Your Wiki Back up and sync any wiki with GitHub or another Git service: publish, pull, clone, and restore full history. - Wiki Health Check A one-tap check finds pages that link nowhere, broken links, and missing pages, with an optional deeper AI review. IMPROVEMENTS - One Tap To Polish After Dictation After you dictate, VoiceOver focus moves to the Process button and reads it aloud, so polishing is one tap. - Keyboard Steps Keep Your Language Built-in steps like Rewrite, Casual, and Summarize now stay in your text's language instead of switching to English. - Rewrite Your Full Selection Process now rewrites the exact text you select, or Select All for the whole field, handling longer text reliably. - Local Engine Update (llama.cpp b9993) New model families including Hunyuan v3, DeepSeek V4, MiniCPM 5, and Unlimited-OCR, faster speculative decoding, and stronger model-file security. - MLX Engine Update (mlx-swift-lm) Gemma 3 prompts up to 2.6x faster on Apple Silicon, more reliable Qwen3/Qwen3.5/Qwen2.5 VL vision, plus Mixtral and Mamba2. BUG FIXES - Keeps Your Audio In High Quality While Dictating Keyboard recording no longer drops Bluetooth, AirPods, or the speaker to phone-call quality.

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. IMPROVEMENTS - Text Selection In Fullscreen Chat Selecting text in the fullscreen chat input no longer slides the main menu open, so editing on iPad stays precise. - Choose Transcription Language When converting video or audio to text, pick the spoken language for every speech engine, or leave it on Auto. - Smoother Transcription Progress Audio-to-text progress now advances steadily instead of jumping backward. - Smarter Duplicate Detection Multiple memories from one turn are evaluated in a single AI call, and near-identical entries are skipped. - Memory Search Knows Profile From Facts The cached user profile is sent separately from matching memory rows for a cleaner prompt. - llama.cpp Engine b9553 Updated from b9279 to b9553 (269 changes), adding DeepSeek-OCR 2, Granite 4 Vision, Gemma 4 vision and audio, and DeepSeek V3.2 sparse attention. - MLX-Swift LM Engine tag-20260607 Faster, more accurate on-device vision: corrected Qwen2.5-VL attention, SmolVLM2 up to 9x faster, plus audio input and more reliable tool calling. - Sharper Camera Focus for Documents View Assistant locks focus more reliably on close-up subjects, and you can tap the live preview to focus. 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.

BUG FIXES - Fatal Launch Crash on CoreData Migration Failure Fixed a fatal launch crash that could terminate the app immediately at startup on devices where the local database had been opened with iCloud Drive previously enabled and later disabled. The persistent store would be forced into read-only mode, automatic schema migration would fail, and any subsequent save would crash. The app now always enables persistent history tracking, retries store loading with iCloud disabled if the first attempt fails, and guards every database write so a missing store can never trigger an uncatchable exception. Affected users on 2.0.14 will recover automatically on the next launch with this build.
