chore(distributed): take the nats-io modules out of the build
Distributed mode has not dialled a message broker since the control plane moved onto the workers' own outward tunnels and every fan-out family moved onto PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY. What was left was the dependency itself, and the code that existed only to feed it. Dropped from go.mod: nats-io/jwt/v2, nats-io/nats.go, nats-io/nkeys, nats-io/nuid and testcontainers-go/modules/nats, along with the fourteen indirect requires that only the NATS testcontainer pulled in. go.sum carries no nats line either, so the removal is not the partial kind where the require goes and the checksum stays. Deleted with them: pkg/natsauth in full, the broker client's remaining options and TLS files, the per-node JWT minting on both the register and the approve path, and the natsauth.Config parameter threaded through the node routes. The credential manager is renamed and stripped rather than deleted, because it still holds the tunnel token that every re-registration rotates. The bus flags stay accepted and ignored, and are now hidden, on every command that had them, so an existing unit file, compose file or Helm values file still starts on the day of the upgrade. What is not kept is the validation that REQUIRED one: a distributed frontend started with no bus URL is no longer fatal. The TLS paths lose type:"existingfile" deliberately, so a certificate deleted along with the broker cannot fail a startup. One operator-visible behaviour change: --nats-require-auth no longer makes an agent worker wait through admin approval. Ask for that wait with --distributed-require-auth, which already implied it. It is documented in the migration section and pinned from both sides. A deployment now needs PostgreSQL and the frontends' own HTTP listener, and nothing else. coverage-baseline.txt moves from 54.2 to 62.0.

docs(blog): add the 4.9 release post and its demo clips (#11629)
* docs(blog): add the 4.9 release post and its demo clips The 4.9 cycle changed how you authenticate, how chat handles a history that no longer fits, and where models and backends live in the UI. The release notes list every pull request; this post covers the three changes that alter day-to-day use, and leads with the auth one because it needs an action before upgrading. Two clips are recorded from a real session against a local-ai built from master with the live gallery loaded: model-lifecycle.mp4 walks the unified models and backends pages, import-model.mp4 shows the rebuilt import form. Both follow the clip conventions in .agents/preparing-a-release.md: h264, no audio track, 1000x562, under 30 seconds, and named after the feature so they stay reusable. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Playwright] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs(blog): anti-slop pass over the 4.9 post Ran the post through the humanizer and no-ai-slop rules, calibrated against what-landed-in-localai-4-8.md. That post is the one #11324 left unchanged, so it sets the rate for this series. The draft ran denser than it on two constructions: "rather than" at 5.1 per thousand words against 3.5, and "instead of" at 3.1 against 1.6. Both are now at or below the 4.8 rate, 2.7 and 1.5, by rewriting seven of them as plain statements. Also cut: "keeping both cost a mode switch", a ledger metaphor for something that is not money, which is the tell #11324 removed eight times from the APEX post. "A follow-up fixed the thing that made that awkward", an unearned framing plus a colon reveal. "This release adds a different one: compress them", a second colon reveal. And "byte-structurally identical", a second exactness idiom in a post that already uses "byte-identical" where the precision carries weight. Five paragraphs opened with "Two things" or "Two details", so three of them start differently now. The summary listed three items, which is the rule of three; it lists four, like the 4.8 summary. Every figure, PR number, link and media reference is unchanged, checked by diffing them out of both revisions. Hugo builds clean and the rendered HTML has no em dashes.

docs(blog): cover the terminal agent in the 4.8 post (#11372)
docs(blog): cover the terminal agent, and fix the counts in the intro The 4.8 post never mentions that `local-ai chat` stopped being a REPL and became an agent (#11291): the nib harness compiled into the binary, with tool use behind an approval gate, sub-agents, MCP servers, plugins and skills, auto-configured against the local instance. It also ships a shell integration script for zsh, bash and fish that binds Ctrl+Space. That is one of the larger user-facing changes in the release and it was missing from both the post and the release-notes highlights. Added a section after 3D generation, including the breaking changes for anyone who had habits around the old REPL: `/clear` is gone in favour of `/compact`, and a model switch now keeps the conversation. While in the intro, corrected the counts. The post said 374 pull requests in twenty-one days, which was accurate when it was drafted on the 4th but not once v4.8.0 was tagged on the 5th. The published release notes say 386 in twenty-two days, and the intro now matches them rather than contradicting them. For the record, neither figure is exactly right: `git log --format=%s v4.7.1..v4.8.0 | grep -cE '\(#[0-9]+\)$'` counts 388 squash-merged pull requests, and 389 from v4.7.0. The notes were cut before the last few landed. Matching the published notes was the priority here, since that is the artifact everyone else quotes, and 386 is the number already in circulation.

website: re-record the hero and gallery clips for the 4.8 UI
The two landing-page clips predated the v4.8.0 interface work (#11288, #11305, #11307): the gallery clip showed the retired light-theme Install Models table, and the hero clip toured the Nodes pages in a full browser window while its caption promised a chat completion on CPU. Both are re-recorded from a real local-ai built from v4.8.0, dark theme, app chrome only: - hero-ui.mp4: a chat completion on lfm2.5-1.2b-instruct streaming on CPU with the live tok/s meter, so the caption now matches the footage. The poster frame is regenerated from the new clip. - gallery.mp4: the Discover rail and detail pane, the hardware recommendation lanes, the VRAM-by-context chart, and a real install with the live progress banner. The hand-typed model count moves from 1,585 to 1,255 in the three places it appears, matching the distinct-model count the recorded UI shows on screen. The 3d-generation clip is untouched: the post-capture UI changes do not show in its footage. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-fable-5 |

website: say plainly that engines are swappable behind the same API
The runtime section described the small core and on-demand backends but never stated the simple fact readers look for: one model can run on llama.cpp while the next loads on vLLM, SGLang or MLX, behind the same endpoint, and switching is one line in the model's config.

docs(blog): new DeepSeek and Laguna numbers, visuals, humanizer pass (#11369)
* docs(blog): new DeepSeek and Laguna numbers, visuals, humanizer pass vllm.cpp master moved 26 commits past what the post was written against, and two results changed enough to matter. Both came from the same lever: staging weights device-resident at load instead of reading them from the GGUF mmap over unified memory, which the GB10 reads about 20% slower per GEMV than device memory. - DeepSeek-V4-Flash against DwarfStar: 0.997x parity becomes 1.144x ahead, 18.69 vs 16.33 tok/s decode, same generated tokens. - Laguna-XS-2.1 against vLLM: 87% becomes 1.03x, 44.46 vs 43.10 tok/s. New row in the scoreboard. Adds three visuals. A chart of throughput against every reference engine, which is worth having now that the spread is 0.976 to 1.144 rather than a flat line at parity. The Activity page with four installs running, and the model detail pane with all four pocket-35b variants. Both screenshots were recaptured on 2026-08-04 because #11288, #11305, #11307 and #11222 had all changed those pages since the earlier set. llama.cpp is deliberately absent from the chart: its 1.18x is a prefill ratio, and putting it on the same axis as throughput ratios would be comparing two different measurements. Also carries the media the release notes embed, since a GitHub release body needs URLs that survive publishing and drag-and-drop has no CLI. Supersedes #11364. Humanizer pass on the prose. The post had collected five exactness idioms in one section (token-for-token, byte-exact twice, byte-identical, token-identical). One is precision, five is a tic, so the 27B row keeps its "token-for-token identical" where identical output is the actual claim and the rest say what they mean. That also fixed a hyphen in predicate position ("is token-identical"). Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Read] [Edit] [Bash] * docs(blog): redraw the benchmark chart as a branded card The Flint bar chart was generic: default palette, no brand, and drawn from zero, which made five ratios between 0.976 and 1.144 look like five bars of roughly equal length. Redrawn in the style of recorder-for-agents' render-card.sh cards, the same shape as the vllm.cpp README GIF. Palette taken from the two logos rather than invented (LocalAI navy #0E2632 and teal #469AAF, vllm.cpp teal #3AB4CA), SVG generated by a small JS loop so the geometry is exact at any scale, headless Chrome to PNG at 2x. The substantive change is that bars now run from the 1.00 parity line instead of from zero. Deviation is what the data is about, so DeepSeek's +14.4% and MLX-LM's -2.4% are both legible, and the one row that is behind is the one row in amber. Each bar carries its ratio and the raw measurement under it. Keeps the .html source next to the .png so the chart is editable later: change a number, re-run render-card.sh.

docs(blog): final figures for the 4.8 post, and the MLX provider (#11362)
* docs(blog): final figures for the 4.8 post, and the MLX provider The cycle closed at 374 PRs over twenty-one days, not the 321 over eighteen the post was written against. Corrects the summary, the opening line, the contributor count and the gallery total, and moves the date to the day the release is cut. Adds the MLX GEMM provider (#11137), which merged after the post was written and is the one number an Apple Silicon reader wants: 1.54x to 2.19x on an M4 with time to first token roughly halving, both arms toggled on one binary. The +/-10% caveat travels with the table rather than being left in the PR. Two lines edited against the no-ai-slop skill while I was in the file, the same pass #11324 ran over the engines post: - The opener balanced two clauses across a colon and closed on "without lying to you", which is the built-to-be-quoted shape readers picked out of the HN thread. It is a flat statement now. - "This is a new modality rather than a new backend under an existing one" is a binary contrast that says nothing the next clause does not. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Read] [Edit] [Bash] * docs(blog): call vllm.cpp alpha, and finish the no-ai-slop pass vllm.cpp is not a released backend and the post read like it was. The old wording buried the caveat in a block quote at the end of the section and still said "first release of a young engine". It now says plainly, before the caveat can be skipped, that these are alpha development builds, that shipping them in 4.8 is about letting people try the thing rather than recommending it, and that llama-cpp stays the default. Also completes the no-ai-slop pass I had only half run. Counting the lines built to be quoted, headings and section endings included, the post is in reasonable shape: long flat informational stretches, tables followed by a plain finding, headings that are labels rather than epigram-verdicts. Three patterns survived, each one an item in eval.md: - "and inverts that:" set the usual shape against ours across a colon. The sentence works without the frame. - "Two things were conflated there: a signal, which needs one line, and the detail, which needs somewhere to put it" is a role-assignment pair. Says what happens instead. - "The maturity statement from the release notes is worth repeating in full" is throat-clearing in front of a quote, and the quote is gone. Left the rest alone. Minimum effective edit, not a rewrite. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Read] [Edit] [Bash] * docs(blog): present vllm.cpp as a community project, with its own numbers The post described vllm.cpp as "a from-scratch port of vLLM, written and maintained by the LocalAI team". Two things wrong with that. It is a community project, and it has stopped being only a port: it loads GGUF, runs on CPU, Metal and Vulkan, ships speculative decoding and KV offload, and its benchmark page measures against llama.cpp, MLX-LM and DwarfStar as well as vLLM, because those are the engines it competes with on that hardware. vLLM's role is now stated for what it is, the reference implementation. Correctness is checked against it and the scoreboard is kept against it. Also flags that the name will probably change, since it is drifting far enough that vllm.cpp will eventually mislead. Adds real numbers from the project's own docs/BENCHMARKS.md rather than adjectives: 1.045x vLLM at concurrency 1 on Qwen3.6-27B NVFP4 with token-for-token identical output, 1.010x and 1.013x at c16 and c32 on the 35B MoE and behind below that, prefill 1.18x over llama.cpp on CPU aarch64, 97.6% of MLX-LM warm total on an M4. Upstream's own caution travels with them: it treats c2 through c32 as ties because its noise band is 0.5% and those margins are 0.7% to 1.7%. Every figure was checked against ~/_git/vllm.cpp/docs/BENCHMARKS.md rather than restated from memory. The heading is marked alpha to match the section body.

"A community project" says nothing and was not quite true either. The LocalAI team maintains vllm.cpp. Community-first is the intent, not a description, so it now says that and says what backs it: its own repository, its own docs, benchmark record and issue tracker, and it runs without LocalAI anywhere in the picture. Adds the DeepSeek-V4-Flash result, which makes the divergence point better than any of the prose around it. That model does not run on vLLM on a single GB10: every vLLM-loadable checkpoint is 156 GB or more against a 119 GiB unified pool, and the only quant that fits is an extreme-low-bit GGUF that vLLM cannot load. vllm.cpp reads GGUF and runs it at 16.28 tok/s against ds4's 16.33, a parity result. Also notes MTP speculative decoding, token-identical to vLLM's and about 4% faster at concurrency 1. Both figures checked against ~/_git/vllm.cpp/docs/BENCHMARKS.md. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Read] [Edit] [Bash] * docs(blog): lead the DeepSeek result with what we run, not with what vLLM cannot The previous version opened on "that model does not run on vLLM on a single GB10 at all". Wrong emphasis twice over: it makes a strong negative claim about another project the headline, and it buries the actual result, which is that vllm.cpp runs DeepSeek-V4-Flash at roughly 2-bit (IQ2_XXS mixed, about 80 GB) on a single DGX Spark and decodes at 16.28 tok/s against DwarfStar's 16.33. The size constraint is still there, stated as the reason the quant is what it is rather than as a point about vLLM: at 300B+ total parameters even a 4-bit checkpoint is 156 GB or more, so a 2-bit GGUF is what fits the Spark's 119 GiB unified pool. The table row now names the quant and the box (IQ2_XXS, one DGX Spark) instead of just "GGUF, GB10", since that is the part a reader with a Spark wants.

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}.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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.

feat(chat): local-ai chat is now a terminal agent (#11291)
* chore(deps): bump cogito to v0.11 ahead of the nib harness nib is the agent harness that becomes 'local-ai chat'. It requires cogito v0.11, so pull that bump forward on its own: minimal version selection would apply it to LocalAI anyway, and both repos use cogito and cogito/clients. Landing it separately keeps the harness change reviewable. nib itself is not pinned yet. Nothing in LocalAI imports it, and 'go mod tidy' runs as a goreleaser before-hook in CI, so an unimported require line does not survive. It lands with its first importer. No LocalAI call site needed a change. Both cogito.WithMaxAttempts callers guard the argument above zero, so v0.11's new clamp is unreachable, and LocalAI's Multimedia values implement only URL(), so v0.11's new TypedMultimedia routing treats them as images exactly as v0.10 did. Binary size (cmd/local-ai): 200,301,381 -> 200,336,045 bytes (+34,664). A throwaway probe that links nib measured 201,042,243 bytes (+740,862 over the pre-change baseline).

The normal error handler sends an OpenAI error envelope, which arrives as *openai.APIError; the opaque-errors handler replies with a bare status and no body, which arrives as *openai.RequestError. Classifying on only one of them misses half the cases, so the status is read from either. A cancelled probe is not reported as an unreachable server, because it learned nothing about the endpoint, and neither is a reply that could not be parsed, because something did answer. Both would otherwise send the user off to start a server that may already be running. The model list is returned verbatim and in server order. LocalAI lists whatever it finds in the models directory, including stray archives and dotfiles, and deciding which advertised ids are real belongs to whoever presents them.

Two test gaps closed alongside it: the readiness spec now counts polls, so treating 503 as ready is observable, and Stop's single-interrupt contract is pinned by giving StartedServer interrupt/kill hooks that a spec can count.

One two-method interface that *os.Process already satisfies leaves nothing to swap and nothing to nil. Also translate exec.ErrWaitDelay, whose text names an os/exec struct field, into what the user can act on. os/exec only substitutes that sentinel when the process exited without an error of its own, so no exit status is swallowed.

The REPL goes with it. Its model listing and its 401 classifier were duplicates of the ones Probe now owns, and the classifier was the version that misreads a bare 401 with no OpenAI error envelope, so keeping either would leave the package with two divergent answers to the same question. github.com/mudler/nib lands in go.mod in this commit rather than earlier: go mod tidy runs as a goreleaser before-hook on every PR, so a require line with no importer is stripped before it reaches CI.

The questions move onto one prompter that owns its buffered reader. A fresh bufio.Reader per question reads ahead and discards what it buffered, so the model choice typed behind an answer to "start a server?" was lost and the next question saw EOF. choose answers with a list index and refuses an empty offer, so a value that was never on the list cannot reach ResolveModel, which persists it and starts every later run against it. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): bound each server check with a deadline Nothing bounded the model listing, so pointing chat at an address that accepts the connection and then never replies left the user with no output and no offer to start a server. The budget is context.WithTimeout rather than a cancel plus a timer. Probe deliberately refuses to call an endpoint unreachable on a context.Canceled, since a caller who gave up learned nothing about the server, and only honours a deadline. A cancel-based budget therefore expires as the one error that suppresses ErrUnreachable, exactly for the hung servers the offer exists to rescue. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): tell the user when their model choice cannot be saved The choice is meant to be asked for once. When saving it fails the user is silently asked again on the next run, and the only trace was an xlog.Warn: the agent runs at log level error, and a --log-level=error run swallows it entirely. ModelRequest gains Notify for exactly this class of problem, one that is worth telling the user about but not worth failing over, and the chat wiring points it at the same writer the question was asked on. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): stop a session's server when the process is signalled A server started for the session is stopped by a deferred call, and a signal skips deferred calls: a SIGTERM between the spawn and the exit left 'local-ai run' reparented to init with nothing left that knew to shut it down. Ctrl+C was already safe, but only incidentally, because the child shares this process' foreground process group. A signal handler rather than Pdeathsig on the child. Pdeathsig is Linux-only and, in Go, is delivered when the OS thread that forked exits rather than when the process does, so it can fire on a healthy parent. Setpgid would break the Ctrl+C that works today by taking the child out of the foreground group. SIGHUP joins SIGINT and SIGTERM: a terminal program whose terminal is gone has nobody left to talk to. The same context is what cancels the agent, which nib leaves to its embedder. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): only skip the server checks for work that stays local Two argument shapes were classified wrongly. Every 'mcp ...' invocation counted as management, so 'local-ai chat mcp --stdio', which serves the agent over MCP and needs a model like any other session, was handed an empty one. And --init, whose shell snippet a user pastes into an rc file long before any server exists, went the other way: it demanded a running server to print a static string. The mcp split is asked of nib's own IsMCPManageSubcommand rather than restated here, so a verb added upstream cannot drift out of this list. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): exit with the agent's status instead of reporting it twice nib writes what went wrong to stderr and returns nothing but an exit code, so returning that error unchanged had main log "Error running the application error=exit status 1" underneath the message the user had just read. The refusal to render the full-screen interface into a pipe is the one they meet in practice: it names --cli, and burying that hides the fix. ExitCodeError says "already reported, exit with this status". main honours it and prints nothing more, so a piped or redirected chat still fails a script the way it should. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * style(chat): route interactive chatter through one writer helper The prompts and notices all write to a terminal, where a failed write is not worth failing the session over and the read that follows the question reports the real problem. say says that once instead of five discarded error returns. The command's one-line help comes along: chat is no longer "an interactive chat session". Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs(chat): record why the agent gets this process' streams Injecting them is what makes nib refuse to draw its full-screen interface into a pipe and name --cli, instead of rendering onto a terminal the caller may not own. The tradeoff is worth stating where the wiring is. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): stop the session's server on cancellation, not on the way out The deferred Stop is reached only if the agent returns, and cancelling the context does not make it: nib hands the TUI to bubbletea without the context, so what actually unwinds a running session today is bubbletea's own SIGINT and SIGTERM handler. SIGHUP has no such backstop, and registering for it removed the default disposition that used to end the process outright, so kill -HUP left a live TUI with a cancelled context and the started server still running. runSession watches the context alongside the agent and stops the server the moment it is cancelled, so the guarantee no longer depends on what the agent does with cancellation. Stop is idempotent, so the deferred call stays correct and free. The doc comment on shutdownContext described the mechanism it was supposed to work by rather than the one that does. Corrected, bubbletea's handler included. ResolveModel now checks the chooser's answer against what it offered. The shipped chooser answers by list index and cannot be wrong, but ModelChooser is exported, the answer is persisted, and every later run starts against it, so the invariant belongs at the consumer. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * chore(chat): bump nib to v0.5.1 v0.5.1 carries four fixes that matter to 'local-ai chat': - --init now names the embedder's command, so the emitted widget invokes 'local-ai chat' rather than a bare 'nib' the user does not have. - A piped CLI session that succeeds exits 0 instead of failing with EOF. - EOF at a tool-approval prompt denies the call rather than approving it, and the session exits 3 (app.ExitCodeApprovalNoInput) so a script can tell "answered" from "refused to act" without reading stdout. Read-only tools are unaffected and still run. ExitStatus already unwraps app.ExitError, so the code propagates with no change here. - RunTUI passes the context to bubbletea and gives up bubbletea's own signal handler, which makes shutdownContext the single owner of the signal and stops a SIGHUP leaving a wedged TUI behind. Verified against a live server on 127.0.0.1:8080: the three --init shells, a piped prompt exiting 0, a denied 'touch' that left no file and exited 3, a read-only 'ls' that still ran and exited 0, and a SIGHUP that unwound a TUI running under a pty. Two comment blocks in run.go described the old TUI behavior and are now wrong, so they are corrected in the same change. No behavior change: both shutdownContext and runSession are untouched, and stopping the server on cancellation is still worth keeping independent of how promptly nib unwinds. One known gap, not addressed here. The widget --init now emits runs 'output=$(local-ai chat --height 50%)', and runAgent injects Stdout unconditionally, so under $(...) nib refuses the TUI for a non-terminal stream. This is the cost the runAgent comment already anticipated, now that the snippets no longer hardcode standalone nib. Ctrl+Space should not be documented until that is decided. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): let nib own stdout, so the Ctrl+Space widget works The widget 'local-ai chat --init' emits runs 'output=$(local-ai chat --height 50%)', which puts a pipe on stdout by construction. runAgent injected os.Stdout unconditionally, and nib refuses every mode but --cli when a stream it was handed is not a terminal, so Ctrl+Space printed "Re-run with --cli to use the injected streams" and inserted nothing. Verified against a pty before and after. nib reads a nil stream as "not injected" and falls back to the process stream, which is how an embedder asks for nib's own behavior. That is what stdout needs: the interface renders on /dev/tty but writes the chosen command to stdout even when stdout is a pipe, and that write is the whole of the shell-capture idiom. Stdin is deliberately left injected. A piped or redirected stdin really is ignored by the interface, so the refusal is the honest answer there, and it is the one users meet: 'echo q | local-ai chat' still says to re-run with --cli, once, exit 1. Nilling stdin the way stdout is nilled would delete that silently. Stderr is not gated by nib at all and is unchanged. One case does change and cannot be kept: 'local-ai chat > out.txt' from a terminal no longer refuses, because it is indistinguishable from the widget. It renders on /dev/tty and writes the capture line to the file, which is what standalone nib does. The app.Options literal moves into agentOptions so the decision is reachable from a spec rather than being a detail of a function that takes the terminal. Both sides of the asymmetry are pinned: reinstating 'Stdout: opts.Out' fails "hands nib nothing for the process stdout", and nilling stdin fails "hands the process stdin over". Also rewrites the last comments describing the pre-v0.5.1 behavior. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs(chat): say what the stream refusal actually keys on Two comments still called it the refusal to render the interface "into a pipe". That was true when both stdin and stdout were injected, but a pipe on stdout no longer refuses, so the wording now points at precisely the case that was un-refused to make Ctrl+Space work. Only a stdin that cannot be read triggers it, and both comments now say so and name the command a user meets it with, 'echo q | local-ai chat'. The agentOptions doc also said a "file a caller chose" stays injected and refused, which reads as though 'local-ai chat > out.txt' still refuses. It does not: a shell redirect arrives as os.Stdout and is nil-ed like the widget's pipe, because the two differ only in being a regular file rather than a FIFO and nib's gate does not look at that. What stays injected is a writer an in-process caller chose for itself. Says that now, in the doc and in the spec comment that had the same ambiguity. Comments only. No behavior change.

Adds a Terminal agent feature page at /features/terminal-agent covering the approval gate, piped runs and their exit codes, Ctrl+Space, model resolution, state directory, and the pass-through management commands (including the `--yes` caveat that leaves a plugin installed but disabled in a script). The three-way "looking for something else" notice becomes four-way and moves into an agentic-routing shortcode. Four hand-kept copies of the same paragraph is what produced the drift the new page would otherwise have added to; the shortcode takes `current=` so each page still marks itself, and errors the build on a name that is not one of the four. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * website: the agent is in the binary, not a second install The nib section sold a separate tool you also install, with a GitHub link as the only way in, which is now the wrong order: the agent ships compiled into local-ai, and the standalone binary is the second reason to care rather than the first. Leads with `local-ai chat`, keeps nib as the SSH-anywhere story, and adds a docs CTA pointing at the new Terminal agent page. id="nib" is left alone because localai.io/#nib is linked from outside. The two credits on the demo clip named nib as the thing that drove the machine; they now credit the agent in LocalAI, which is the same agent. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * website: fix the exit keys, the plugin warning, and the redirect gap Three claims on the chat-agent pages that the code does not back. try-it-out told readers to press Ctrl+D. nib has no Ctrl+D handler: the full-screen interface quits on Esc or Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+D is only an exit in --cli, where it arrives as ordinary tty EOF. That sentence had replaced the removed /exit and /quit text, so the page was left with no working way to leave a session. Document both modes, since they differ. The plugin warning said nothing tells you the install stopped short. It does: the command prints that the plugin was left disabled. What it does not do is say so in its exit code, which is 0 either way. That is the part a script cannot work around, and it is the reason to pass --yes. Overstating it in the paragraph that gives the advice only makes the advice easier to dismiss. Redirecting stdout no longer refuses; the interface goes to /dev/tty and only the yanked command reaches the file. It is what lets the Ctrl+Space widget capture a command at all, since a redirect and out=$(...) are the same thing to the stream gate. It was documented nowhere. A non-terminal stdin is still refused, and the new text says which of the two it is. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): make the CLI flags outrank the agent config file local-ai chat routed --endpoint, --model, --api-key, --trace-dir and --yolo through nib's app.Options.Defaults. Defaults are seeds: they sit beneath the config file, so the file silently undoes them. That made the flags accepted and inert, and not in an edge case, since EnsureStateDir writes base_url on the first run and the interactive picker writes model, so from the second run on the file carried a value for both. Observed against a live server: with base_url: http://127.0.0.1:9999/v1 in the config and --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8080 on the command line, the probe hit 8080 and every agent turn posted to 9999. With model: gemma-4-e2b-it-qat-q4_0 in the config, --model lfm2.5-8b-a1b was ignored on the wire. nib v0.6.0 adds app.Options.Overrides, applied above the config file and above the bare environment block. Move the whole block there: all five values are decisions this invocation already made on the user's behalf, and a flag the config file can undo is not a flag. Nothing is left in Defaults, because LocalAI's one genuine seed, the initial base_url, is written into the config file by EnsureStateDir rather than handed to nib. Two limits come with the channel and are documented on agentOptions rather than worked around. An override can only raise a field, since nib cannot tell "set to the zero value" from "not set", so --yolo can turn approval off but nothing on the command line turns it back on over an approval_mode: auto in the file. And nib's own NIB_TRACE_DIR and NIB_YOLO are resolved after the config load and still outrank these, deliberately, upstream. The existing spec pinned that the right values reach app.Options, which they always did, which is exactly why it could not see nib discarding them. The new specs resolve the config the way app.Run resolves it, against a real config file that disagrees with every flag, and one asserts Defaults stays empty. docs/content/features/terminal-agent.md already documented --model as winning over the saved model; that was false before this change and is true now, so no docs edit was needed.

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.

fix(website): connect the runtime, the engines and APEX into one thread
The page reads as a list of features with nothing joining them, so two things did not land. The engines section never said these are the backends LocalAI loads. The runtime section describes a core that pulls each engine in on demand, and the engines section describes engines written from scratch, and nothing on the page connected the two sentences. Readers were taking parakeet.cpp and the rest for unrelated side projects by the same people. The lede now says whose backends they are before it says anything else. APEX was used as a known term on first appearance, in a section that opened onto a benchmark table. Nothing said what it is or why it follows the engines. It now opens by placing itself in the stack: the engine decides how fast a model runs, the weights decide whether it runs at all, and APEX is the second of those. Then the numbers. Also drops "Most backends wrap somebody else's engine. These do not", which is the machine-written antithesis shape, and fixes a list that broke its own parallel halfway through.

chore(website): derive the counters from data, refresh them weekly
The star, fork, contributor and release counts were typed into the templates by hand, so they only moved when somebody remembered. They had already drifted: stars read 48,042 against 48,067, forks 4,314 against 4,320, and contributors 224 against 225. They move to website/data/stats.yaml, which .github/ci/refresh-site-counters.sh rewrites from the GitHub API, run weekly by a new workflow. The contributors and releases endpoints never report a total, so the script asks for one item per page and reads the count out of the Link header. It refuses to write a zero or a non-number, which is what a rate-limited or failed call looks like, and the workflow commits only when a number actually moved. The Discord count has no API behind it, so the script reads the existing value back and carries it through. The engine count was wrong in a second way. The hero said 18, the section heading said "Eighteen engines", the timeline said "Nineteen engines of our own", and the /engines/ page derived 19 from the data file. All of them now derive from that same file, so they cannot disagree again. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] |

fix(website): wrap the timeline, run integrations as a reel, fix blog cards
The timeline set six 15rem columns in a flex row with overflow-x:auto, which needs 90rem and so scrolled sideways on any normal laptop. It is a wrapping grid now, and the rule that carries the dots moves from the container onto each item so a wrapped row still gets a line above it. Column gap is zero and the items carry their own right padding, so the rule stays continuous. Integrations move from a card grid to a reel. Any single integration is a weak signal and the whole moving line is the strong one, so the count is doing the argument. It pauses on hover and on keyboard focus, since the names are links. The list grows from 8 to 26: Open WebUI, Dify, LibreChat, RAGFlow, Continue, big-AGI, Nextcloud, Frigate, promptfoo, Mods, TypingMind, baibot, k8sgpt- operator and others. Each was admitted only after opening that project's own repository or docs and reading the line that names LocalAI. The ones that failed that test are listed in the data file so nobody re-adds them. The blog cards were hand-written, which is how one of them came to advertise "Porting vLLM to C++", a post that does not exist, and how all three linked to the blog index instead of an article. They range over the posts now. The section intro used the "a changelog tells you what moved, these posts show you what it does" shape, which is the standard machine-written antithesis. It states what the posts contain instead, including the perplexity regression that APEX costs, because publishing the price is the actual claim.

fix(website): rewrite the ecosystem band, drop two false coverage links
The band led with three sentences of hedging and printed a commit count next to each employer, so a one-commit entry beside a large name read as weakness rather than as the modest, true claim it was. It now opens on the contributor count, sets the employers as a sentence instead of a pill wall, and keeps the caveat to one line. The counts stay in ecosystem.yaml, since they are the provenance for the list and anyone re-checking it needs them. Two "coverage" cards were not about this project. The modelslab.com piece reviews Frikallo/parakeet.cpp, an unrelated project of the same name, and the snailtext.app benchmark measures Parakeet through ONNX Runtime without mentioning LocalAI at all. Both are removed, along with the contributor card that duplicated the band's opening line. Press was four posts from one vendor, which read as the whole of the coverage rather than one enthusiastic outlet. SUSE collapses to a single series entry, and Pulumi, Semaphore and Spectro Cloud join it. Each was opened and checked against the project before being added. K8sGPT and LlamaIndex join the integrations; both document LocalAI as a backend. The quotes move above the lists so the section opens on its strongest line, which is somebody else's. The hero gains a GitHub call to action, the APEX collection link was returning 404 and is corrected, and the footer no longer describes the site as a design mock.

feat(website): add an ecosystem band, and an ADOPTERS file to back it (#11248)
Adds the "who turns up around this project" section, split into three lists
because the evidence behind each one is a different strength and collapsing
them into a single logo wall would overclaim.
Contributors 21 companies whose engineers have commits here. Evidence is
the commit history plus the employer on that person's public
GitHub profile, so it is a claim about the person. Commit
counts are shown next to each name, including the ones that
are a single patch, because hiding that would be the whole
problem.
Integrations six projects that reference LocalAI in their own repository
or documentation, which anyone can verify without asking us.
Press four SUSE Communities articles about running LocalAI.
Names are set in type rather than fetched as logos. A logo reads as
endorsement, and a one-line typo fix from somebody who happens to work at a
large company does not support that, quite apart from what their trademark
policy says about it.
ADOPTERS.md is the mechanism for the stronger claim. An organisation that
wants to be listed as a user opens a pull request adding itself, which is both
the evidence and the permission, and is publicly auditable afterwards. The
file says plainly what the website does and does not claim, so the next person
to ask "can we add some big names" has the answer in the repository.

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.

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.
