Here at Ithiel, we have been chugging away at our new and reworked, super-large data absorption system. What does that mean? Ithiel will be able to absorb AI .zip backups better than before, but the system isn't limited to AI backups. It can absorb other types of backups and large collections of information too, like an old server backup. Because of the size of this work, I haven't been able to…
Hello everyone! This hotfix is another major step toward the long-term vision for Ithiel AI as an AI Operating Environment, rather than just another chat window. Over the last few weeks I've been rebuilding much of the internal architecture that allows Ithiel to understand its own Workspace, your library, and what you're actively working on. What's New 🧠 Runtime Workspace Awareness Ithiel now…
Hello everyone! Welcome back to another development update for Ithiel AI . If you've been following along, you've probably noticed something... The UI has been changing. A lot. Menus move. Buttons disappear. Entire layouts spontaneously evolve. That's because I'm still searching for the layout that finally makes everything click. I'd rather keep rebuilding it until it feels right than lock ever…
The Workspace Update Has Arrived Over the last several months, IthielAI has undergone its largest transformation since launch. What began as a local-first AI assistant is steadily evolving into something much larger: A private AI workspace designed to help users organize projects, manage knowledge, preserve context, and steward information over time. What's New 🏗️ Workspace Environment A compl…
Over the last few weeks, a huge amount of work has been happening behind the scenes on Ithiel AI. As I’ve mentioned before, a major focus right now is unifying, reinforcing, and restructuring a lot of the backend systems so future development is smoother, more stable, and easier to expand on long-term. A lot of this work directly supports the upcoming Projects / Mods / Steam Workshop systems. T…
Hey everyone, First off — thank you for your patience. I know it’s been a bit quiet, so I wanted to give a clear update on where things are at. ⚠️ Current Status (Important) The Workshop / Mods / Projects system is NOT ready yet. If you try to use it right now, there’s a good chance it will crash or behave unpredictably. I know that’s not ideal — but there’s a reason for it. 🧠 What Did Change…
🚧 Still Here — Building Something Bigger Hey everyone, I wanted to take a moment to check in and let you all know what's been going on behind the scenes with Ithiel. This isn’t a full update yet—but I didn’t want to stay silent while things are moving forward. 🧠 What I’ve Been Working On A lot has changed under the hood. What started as a simple goal—building a powerful AI system—has turned i…
🚧 IthielAI Dev Update – Building the Foundation 🚧 Hey everyone, We wanted to take a moment to share where things are at with IthielAI and what we’ve been working on behind the scenes. Over the last stretch, development took a bit of a turn—in a good way. What started as Workshop integration quickly evolved into something much bigger. We ended up rebuilding and improving several core systems,…
This update brings a major intelligence upgrade to Ithiel, along with a new system to help improve stability faster. 🧠 Default AI Upgraded to Qwen3 30B Ithiel now ships with a significantly more powerful default model: Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct This is a major jump from the previous 8B model and improves: • Stronger reasoning and problem solving • Much better coding assistance • More reliab…
Upcoming AI Model Upgrade – Qwen3 30B I wanted to share a quick update about an improvement coming to Ithiel AI. During the upcoming Projects system upgrade , I will also be upgrading Ithiel’s default AI model from Qwen3 8B to Qwen3 Coder 30B A3B Instruct . This is a pretty significant jump in capability. The previous default model (Qwen3 8B) was around 7 GB , while the new model is roughly 40…
