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.

* 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.
