2e14511fe2 docs(blog): add release write-ups for 3.10 through 4.3 (#11330)
The blog has a deep post for 4.8 and a history post that covers the earlier
releases at summary altitude, but nothing in between. These five fill that
gap in the same shape as what-landed-in-localai-4-8: what the release was
for, runnable examples, and the limits that apply.

Every endpoint, CLI flag, env var and gallery entry is verified against the
matching release tag rather than taken from the release notes. That caught
two paths the published 3.10.0 notes got wrong: tracing is /api/traces, not
/api/v1/trace, and a stored response is fetched from /v1/responses/:id, not
/api/v1/responses/{response_id}.

6e7c0a4df8 blog, website: edit out the AI writing tells readers called out on HN (#11324)
* blog: rewrite the engines post without the AI tells

The HN thread on this post (item 49125065) spent most of its comments on the
writing rather than the engines. Readers quoted specific lines back as tells.
This is the same post with the same numbers, edited against the updated
no-ai-slop skill.

Every figure, table and link is unchanged, except that "27% of the memory"
is now the underlying 363 MB against 1328 MB from the table.

Two substantive framing fixes, both from the reply draft in
hn-reply-engines-post.md:

- vllm.cpp is no longer implied to be a speed win. The table is a tie, the
  result is the install size, and the post now says so before a reader has to
  work it out and post about it.
- Added one line on the language mix. Readers took the C++/Python/Go tree as
  incoherence rather than as a Go core with per-ecosystem backends.

Cut throughout: the ledger metaphor ("what those ports buy", "not paid for in
throughput"), unearned framing ("the honest reading is", "has nothing to do
with"), the shape summary ("that is the general shape of these wins"),
confident deference ("people who are better at those models than we are"),
self-grading numbers ("a good result for a 66 MiB binary"), verbless
comparisons, three of the four exactness idioms, and the aphoristic headings
and verdicts. The double-tricolon summary is one plain clause now.

* blog, website: same anti-slop sweep over the rest of the site

One-by-one pass over the other four posts and the site templates, with the
same rules used on the engines post. All figures, tables, links and PR
numbers are unchanged everywhere; the edits are to prose only.

apex-moe-quantization: ledger metaphors were the main issue, eight uses of
buy/cost/pay/spend for things that are not money. Also "the honest reading
is", "that is the comparison that matters", and two section-ending aphorisms
("Size is a speed knob as much as a memory knob", "Q6_K is the ceiling worth
paying for").

localai-since-march-2023: light touch, this one already reads like a person.
Removed "the curve is not the point", a "not the feature list, but the four
decisions" contrast, and two "X is what made / is the piece that" forms.

parakeet-cpp-asr-on-cpu: six exactness idioms across one post, "byte for
byte" twice, "character for character" twice, "byte-identical" twice and
"bit-identical" once, including in the title. Down to one, kept where the
precision is load-bearing. Also the "what end-of-utterance detection buys
you" heading and the "we say so rather than averaging it away" flex.

what-landed-in-localai-4-8: no changes. It is dense, flat and ends every
section on a PR number or a plain fact, which is the shape the other posts
should look like.

Site templates: "Most backends wrap somebody else's engine. These do not."
was the same contrast the engines post opened with. Also "Not a degraded mode
that technically runs", "A port only ships once it matches the original",
"Speed is the part we then go and win ... not a marketing run", and the last
"byte for byte" on the landing page.

Hugo builds clean.

* website: it is eighteen engines, not nineteen

Three places said nineteen: the /engines/ page description, the JUL 2026
timeline entry on the landing page, and the header comment in
data/engines.yaml.

Eighteen is right, confirmed two ways. The "Backends built by us" table in
the README has exactly 18 rows, and data/engines.yaml has 19 entries of which
one is apex-quant, which is a quantization recipe rather than an engine. The
two lists otherwise match name for name.

The yaml comment is the likely origin: it read "the nineteen native engines
the LocalAI team wrote, and the one quantization recipe that feeds them",
which counts apex-quant twice.

359bd4850d docs(blog): bring the 4.8 release post up to the final changelog (#11287)
The post was written against the first draft of the release notes, when the
cycle stood at 214 PRs over thirteen days. It closed at 321 PRs over eighteen
days, and three of the larger user-facing changes landed after it was written.

- Correct the counts throughout: 321 PRs, eighteen days, 24 contributors
  (11 first-time), gallery 1,221 to 1,505.
- Add sections for the three new capabilities: 3D generation as a modality
  (Generate3D, FLAG_3D, /v1/3d/generations, trellis2cpp), audio.cpp serving
  six audio endpoints from one process, and the operations bar becoming the
  Activity page.
- Cover the two further hardening fixes (tar hardlink escape, cyclic $ref
  stack overflow) alongside the TRL one.
- Note the Valkey store, systemd socket activation, persistent trace history,
  in-place chat edits, the self-contained SYCL backend and the site split.
- Group the new-engine sections together rather than splitting them across
  the operational ones.

Embeds the existing vllm-race and magpie clips, and adds a 3D generation clip
cut from the demo recording to the conventions in .agents/preparing-a-release.md
(no audio track, 14s, named for the feature). blog.css styled figure img but
not figure video, so a clip in a post rendered outside the card; both selectors
now share the rule.

94d5affcea feat(website): split the site, move docs to /docs, add a landing page (#11243)
* feat(website): split the site, move docs to /docs, add a landing page

The Hugo docs site has always been localai.io itself, which left nowhere to
explain what LocalAI is or show what the team builds. This adds a separate
marketing site at the root and moves the documentation under /docs/.

Docs:
  The existing site keeps its content tree and its Relearn theme, and now
  builds with baseURL <root>/docs/. Its _index.md, which held a hand written
  landing page, becomes a real documentation home.

  Every previously published URL keeps working. GitHub Pages has no server
  side rewrites, so .github/ci/gen-redirects.sh walks the built docs output
  and leaves a meta refresh plus a canonical link at each old root path. It
  covers bare .html files too, which is what keeps /gallery.html alive, and
  it never overwrites a path the marketing site already owns.

Website:
  A second Hugo site under website/ with its own layouts and no external
  theme, so the marketing side does not have to fight Relearn's home rooted
  menu and asset pipeline. CI builds both and merges them into one Pages
  artifact.

  The design is derived from the project logo rather than invented: the navy
  of the triangle, the cyan of the llama, the purple of the speed bars. Those
  offset bars became the motion signature. The background renders a real
  depth-anything.cpp depth map as contour lines and switches to a
  locate-anything.cpp style detection overlay over the engines section.

  Also included: an /engines/ index driven entirely by data/engines.yaml, a
  /blog/ section with five posts written from the release notes and the
  engine benchmark suites, install.sh and a Kubernetes manifest since the
  site advertises both, and a rule in .agents/ that release preparation now
  includes a blog post and demo clips.

Every figure on the site is derived from the repository or the GitHub API,
not from memory. Correcting them against their sources found one error in
README.md: voxtral-tts.c is text to speech, not speech to text.

* feat(website): add a star history chart, rewrite the history post in first person

The history post read like a changelog written by a committee. It is now in
Ettore's voice, first person, with the admissions left in.

The numbers paragraph in particular read like a directory listing. It now says
what the figures mean rather than which file they came from.

Adds an interactive star history chart, built from the GitHub stargazers API
rather than embedded from a third party, so the page makes no external request
and cannot break when someone else's service is down. The four releases the
post is organised around are marked on the curve, and the labels stack into
rows because three of them land within two months of each other.

The API stops paginating at 40,000 items, so the curve is measured up to
December 2025 and the segment from there to today's total is drawn dashed,
labelled as an estimate in the caption and in the tooltip. It is a straight
line between two known points, and the chart says so rather than implying it
is data.

Also drops "marketing site" from the README heading and everywhere else it
appeared, and calls it the main site instead.
