Version 5.9.0

Version 5.9.0
- Story Notes! The AI models now write little notes after each turn, covering characters, setting, unresolved threads, and so on. This will hopefully help them stay on track on longer stories, as well as make longer term plans. Only the most recent set of notes are used for the next generation (so if you generate turn n, then the notes from turn n-1 are used). You can view and edit these notes yourself by pressing the ‘AI Notes’ button, but it’s recommended to just write what you like in the user instruction box and let the AI handle the notes.
- Some bug fixes related to how very long chats get summarised. Previously there was a window where stale summaries could be served while the new one generated, and it was missing failure recovery if the summary regeneration didn’t work. General tidy up here.
- Improvements to compute provider routing. One provider was completely removed from our list for quantising the model too much (causing a quality decline), and we’ve now added penalties for quantisation automatically, so routing will avoid these providers if there are better options available. Other improvements to the routing system were added as well.
