Headline

⚠️ These notes are AI generated and will be revised by a human ⚠️

  • Two new Ornith 1.5 models (9B and 35B-A3B) join the server catalog with vision, chat, coding, reasoning, and tool-calling capabilities.
  • lemonade launch junie adds JetBrains' Junie as a new launch agent for automated model workflows.
  • AMD GPU names in /api/v1/system-info now return human-readable marketing names (e.g., AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT) instead of raw numeric codes.
  • Streaming models are now supported on AMD integrated GPUs via an improved server memory filter that accounts for the APU GTT pool.
  • Cloud provider model metadata now exposes context window and completion token limits on the /v1/models API response.

Breaking Changes

⚠️ These notes are AI generated and will be revised by a human ⚠️

  • ROCm backend removed from OpenMOSS on Linux; set backend to vulkan or cuda instead.
  • ROCm backend removed from sd-cpp on Windows; set backend to vulkan or auto instead.
  • The POST /v1/images/upscale endpoint now requires the upscaling model label; models without it are rejected with a 400 error.
  • The /api/v1/system-info API returns AMD GPU names in marketing form (e.g., AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (gfx1201)) instead of raw numeric codes; consumers that parse the name field for numeric versions need to adapt.
  • The release tagging tool no longer accepts --no-sign; omit the flag (now the default) or use --sign for signed tags.
