1.0

New

Kerrfield One is generally available

The full model is now available to everyone on the API and in the app, with a 142-page system card published the same day.

0.9.6

Improved

Thinking budgets up to 30 minutes

Team and Enterprise requests can now think for up to 30 minutes. A request never spends more than its budget.

0.9.5

New

Stream every reasoning step

The API now streams thinking.step, thinking.branch and thinking.check events, so your UI can show progress as it happens.

0.9.4

New

Open 8B distill under Apache 2.0

Kerrfield One Distill is released with weights, recipe and a 4-bit laptop build.

0.9.3

Improved

PDF and image inputs

Attach PDFs, charts and screenshots. The model reads tables and figures, not just the text layer.

0.9.2

New

Confidence on every answer

Every answer now carries a calibrated confidence score, and you can set a threshold below which it asks instead.

0.9.1

Fixed

Faster first token

First-token latency is down to 280 ms at p50, and long attachments no longer delay the first streamed step.

API

One endpoint.Streaming by default.

Send a question and whatever it needs to read. Set a thinking budget. Stream every step as it happens, or wait for the final answer and its confidence.
