This week’s SmythOS release expands how you build and manage AI inside your workspace. You can now integrate local AI models for offline or private deployments, enjoy smoother chat and Builder experiences, and benefit from several critical bug fixes that improve reliability across authentication, UI, and autosave workflows.
New Features
Add Local Model Support to Vault AI Integration
You can now add and configure local AI models in Vault’s model management interface. Define fields such as Model ID, baseURL, Fallback Model, and API Key. A new setup modal makes local model configuration distinct from cloud-based setup.
How this helps you
- Integrate self-hosted or offline models to improve data privacy.
- Maintain full control over your model endpoints without depending on cloud availability.
- Build agents that work in restricted or air-gapped environments.

Chat interfaces in SmythOS have been refactored for better maintainability and performance. Messages now appear in cleaner groups for improved readability.
How this helps you
- Follow conversation flow more easily.
- Enjoy a faster, more stable chat experience.
- Benefit from a codebase built for long-term scalability.
PostHog Removed from Builder
PostHog analytics has been completely removed from the Builder.
How this helps you
- Reduced third-party tracking for greater privacy.

Simplified Namespace Tooltips
Unnecessary or redundant tooltips were removed from the Namespace interface.
