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 reliable project planning and organization
• Improved long-form responses
• Better understanding of complex prompts
Ithiel should now feel far more like a real assistant rather than a basic chatbot.
⚠️ Note:
The new model is much larger and more demanding.
• ~40GB download size
• Requires more RAM / VRAM for best performance
🛠 New Automatic Bug Reporting System
Ithiel now includes a built-in reporting system to help fix issues faster.
If something goes wrong (crash, model load failure, etc.), Ithiel can:
• Automatically package diagnostic data
• Send a report (only if you approve it)
• Provide a support ID for tracking
This report includes technical logs about what failed so I can quickly identify and fix problems.
👉 No personal data is collected — only technical diagnostics related to the issue.
🙏 Please Help Improve Ithiel
If Ithiel crashes or something breaks:
👉 Please allow the report to be sent
This directly helps identify bugs and speeds up fixes for everyone.
Since Ithiel is being actively developed, this system is a huge step toward making updates faster and more stable.
🔧 Ongoing Development
This update is part of the ongoing push toward:
• A more powerful AI assistant
• The upcoming Projects system
• Future Steam Workshop integration
Thank you for using and testing Ithiel.
Every update is built directly from real usage and feedback.
More improvements coming soon.
