mindfork 0.11.0 — from a bare Linux machine to a local model, in one line
A new command installs the Python sandbox and llama.cpp and writes the model, its projector, the embedding model and the context into the settings — checked before anything is downloaded, and started once to prove it loads. An install script puts the app on the machine first. Written for a rented GPU box that is new at every stop; just as good on a desktop. And llama setup installs CUDA builds on Linux, which it had been refusing.

mindfork 0.10.2 — which copy of your data is the newest
One command says when each copy of your data was last written and what it holds — the data on this computer or a backup archive, without restoring anything — and a second says what each copy has that the other lacks. And opening a chat no longer flashes the one you were leaving.

mindfork is public
The repository is open, the first public release is out, and this is what the project is — an AI chat that lives in your terminal, with memory that persists and tools that stay behind switches you set.

mindfork 0.9.9 — files in, charts out, work in the background
The assistant's Python code reads the chat's files and hands back what it saves. Subagents and staged dialogues run in the background while you keep talking, with a screen to watch them. The engine downloads itself — and the web tools wait for your say-so.

mindfork 0.9.8 — give it real work
A code project attached to a chat — read, edit, build and test, every change reviewable and revertible. Subagents with real tools and live transcripts. And web search that can stop being rate-limited.

mindfork 0.9.7 — wherever your terminal is
Every action has a typed command, copying works over SSH, a conversation exports to a file — and the assistant can find what you said in another chat.

mindfork 0.9.6 — the model can see
Images in a message from a file, the clipboard or a URL; tool screenshots reach the model; the web tools stop at your front door; a cloud blip no longer costs the turn.

Hello from mindfork 0.9.5
The project gets a home on the web — and a status report: an interactive demo, a fourth cloud provider, history compression.
