🚀 Big-AGI 2.0.0 - Open, Free and Pro
A year in the making, redesigned for professionals.
Big-AGI 2.0 is here. More than an update; we've rebuilt core components, massively improved the UI, and are officially launching the three-tier model to support the project's next phase.
Built for Engineers architecting systems, Founders making decisions, Researchers validating hypotheses, and IT departments deploying the top value to their company, and after thousands of hours of engineering, we're delivering what you asked for: a professional-grade AI workspace that's local-first, vendor-neutral, and madly optimized for zero latency.
What's New
Beam 2: Multi-Modal Intelligence
Program-based reasoning across multiple models simultaneously, with images, follow-ups, and saved presets.
Professional Features
- Reasoning Models: Anthropic Claude Opus 4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, OpenAI GPT-5/o3/o1, xAI Grok 4, etc.
- Web Search native and with citations for supported models
- Image Generation with Nano Banana and gpt-image-1, including edits
- Local FileSystem integration: drag/drop files to add context, diff them, and save them back, automatically
- UI completely overhauled for desktop and mobile
Cloud Sync (Pro Only)
10 months of solo engineering. Real-time sync across unlimited devices, 1GB storage. Your data, your control.
Technical Improvements
- Local-first redesign: Everything runs in your browser when possible. Zero latency. No vendor lock-in.
- Multi-part/multi-modal almost every subsystem has been redesigned and drastically improved
- And plenty more - see the latest on big-agi.com/changes
Three Tiers
- Big-AGI Open (self-host): First to get new models. Maximum control. IT departments love it.
- Big-AGI Free (big-agi.com): Full core experience with Beam, Personas, and the best UX
- Big-AGI Pro (from $10.99/mo): Everything + Cloud Sync across unlimited devices with 1GB storage
As an independent, non-VC-funded project, Pro subscriptions fund all development including the free and open-source tiers.
