Optimizations and More

Our most ripped dev @caarlos0 ripped more than his abs in today’s release. Thanks to him, Crush now uses less memory and has faster startup and shutdown times across the board.

If you only use Crush because of local models, you might be interested in the contribution from @jonhoo who added a disable_default_providers setting to disable all default providers. Note that CRUSH_DISABLE_DEFAULT_PROVIDERS=1 has been around for a bit and will also work.

See you on the internet! 🌐

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.32.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.32.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
