What's New 1. MCP Integrations — Connect Any Tool to Your AI Minis now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), letting you connect external tools and services directly into the agent loop. Add MCP servers via Settings → MCP Integrations, import configs from JSON, or manage them from the shell with the new  minis-mcp-cli  command. 2. SOUL Personality Customize your AI's personality — name, style, language, and character — directly in Settings. Everything is saved to SOUL.md and persists across sessions. The sidebar title, default session name, and typing indicator all reflect your Soul's name. 3. iCloud Sync V2 Upgraded to record-level sync. Providers, Model Groups, and environment variables now sync independently per entry. Fixes issues where deleted configs were resurrected by iCloud, local API keys were overwritten on merge, and active sessions had their content overwritten mid-run. 4. Providers OpenAI: Generate images directly in chat using gpt-image-2 via OpenAI OAuth / Codex instances. New xAI provider with one-tap SuperGrok / X Premium+ login. 5. Memory Toggle A new global memory toggle in Settings controls whether new sessions enable memory by default. Turning it off fully suppresses memory injection and hides memory tools. 6. Tool Calls The agent loop now dispatches multiple tool calls in parallel, making multi-step tasks significantly faster. Long-press any tool capsule to re-run from that exact point, or copy the tool call details. Bug Fixes • Fixed multiple chat crashes including session switch UAF, notification deeplink wake, and iPad sidebar collapse jank. • Fixed generated content being lost after Stop or Retry. • Fixed vision models not seeing images returned by read_image or browser_use. • Fixed concurrent browser_use calls trampling the same WebView across tabs. • Fixed Codex OAuth non-streaming calls triggering HTTP 400 Stream must be set to true. • Fixed orphaned tool_use and tool_result blocks being sent in Anthropic requests. • Fixed reasoning models returning empty text when generating session titles. • Fixed slash menu disappearing in over-input mode and installed Skills not appearing in the list. • Fixed token counts being inflated by providers that report cumulative usage on every SSE chunk. • Fixed compact running in an infinite loop. • Fixed image generation requests timing out at around 120 seconds. • Fixed camera captures being stored as oversized lossless PNGs.
