What's new?
This release adds some great improvement.
You can use o1 series models for Document Analysis now
. The OpenAI's new o1 model doesn't support custom System Instruction. In this release, I put your custom system instruction and document content into the user prompt.
The chat input field got a huge upgrade.
I switched to AppKit's NSTextView and this fixes all the layout issues when pasting long prompts. It's also a lot faster too!
Estimate costs for Gemini models.
Gemini flash 8B is my new favorite small model. It's cheap and is quite capable for simple tasks such as summarization or grammar fixes...
In this release, I've added token & cost estimation for Gemini models.
New BoltAI Workspace.
This is not related to mac app, but I've been working on the new BoltAI Workspace. It's the cloud version of BoltAI with Cloud Sync & other collaboration features.
It's not ready yet but you can join the waitlist here: https://app.youform.com/forms/kyxy1r54
Have a nice weekend.
See you in the next update 👋
