Platypus has had a busy few days. Since v3.10.0 you can upload files to an agent's sandbox from the chat and download them back. New workspaces get a setup wizard, and there's a guide to installing third-party plugins. #aiagent #agentic #oss github.com/willdady/pla...

Finally! Platypus 3.10 keeps every edit as an alternative you can flip between. It's a feature I've missed from other chat apps, so it's great to have it here too. Bonus: Node 26 and a backend Docker image half the size, 255 MB down to 126 MB. github.com/willdady/platypus #ai #aiagent #opensource

Platypus has been optimised to be more stable across runs. Previously, memories would be injected into the system prompt which would invalidate caching on many providers. This is now fixed. Now, tokens should be changed at the cached price if offered by the model provider. #oss platypus.chat

The latest release of Platypus supports declaring a model's context size when configuring models on a provider. If you set this you will see a handy context gauge in the chat composer. This opens the door to auto-compaction as a future feature. #opensource #ai #agent

As a long-time Chrome user I recently made the switch to Firefox (on Mac). My main motivation for switching was the more "open" nature of the project. I think I am going to switch back. I've had issues where video calls simply don't work and I often get choppy video playback. Disappointing 😔
