Local Hoist v0.0.18
March 25, 2026
v0.0.18 makes model selection clearer and more dependable, with recommended models surfaced by default, stronger ranking, and cleaner fallback behavior when a previously chosen model is no longer available. It also improves sandbox controls and related product guidance, while updating BYOK pricing copy to better explain current defaults and costs.
Improved
- Added a Recommended vs All toggle in the model picker, with curated recommended models shown by default.
- Improved model ranking and browsing so newer versions, stronger default variants, and your current selection are easier to find, with clearer warnings on unusually expensive options.
- Improved model-availability handling so the picker stays aligned with your credential mode and conversations fall back more cleanly when a previously selected model is no longer available.
- Updated BYOK pricing and legal copy to reflect the current 5.5% platform fee more consistently across settings and terms.
Improved
- Improved safety controls and explanations for sandboxed shell tools, with clearer network-protection settings and confirmation flows.
- Refreshed product messaging around sandboxing, tool transparency, and compression controls to make advanced behavior easier to understand.
