A new look, and new names

October 1, 2026 · 3.0

New look

• A simpler design in black, white and grays, with one look for everyone. The colour setting is gone.
• A new planet logo, new app icons, and a gray Pip.
• Windows app 1.2.0 with the new icon and matching window colours. Download it.
• The home page and chat start with one question and a message box. Suggestions are now small buttons: Image, Search, Docs, Sheets, Write and Website.
• Switch between Chat, Code and Images from the top of the page.

New model names

• Oriel is now Zenith, Fable is now Orbit, and Canto is now Comet. Same models, simpler names.
• API keys, the terminal app and saved chats keep working. The old model ids are still accepted.

Sign in with Discord

• Members of the Dianoetic Discord server can sign in with Discord. If you aren't a member yet, you'll see why and how to join.

Zip uploads and docs

• Attach a .zip of a project. Dianoetic reads the code inside and skips things like node_modules and build folders.
• New documentation at docs.dianoetic.tech, with search.

Smarter and steadier

• Long chats are summarised automatically so Dianoetic remembers the earlier parts, and anything you ask it to remember is kept word for word.
• More backup routes for every model. If a reply stalls before it starts, Dianoetic switches to another route.
• Clearer answers: better formatting, fewer filler openings, and extra care for homework, debugging, comparisons and health, legal or money questions.

Fairer limits and better security

• Usage is counted once per reply, and failed replies don't count. Opening many tabs at once no longer gets around limits.
• Accounts lock for 15 minutes after repeated wrong passwords.
• Messages that try to trick the assistant into ignoring its rules are detected, and it holds its ground.

September 28, 2026 · 2.5.1

Slash commands

• Type / in the message box for a command menu: /image, /search, /model, /effort, /retry, /share, /download, /rename, /theme and more. You can also double-click a chat's name to rename it. Press / anywhere on the page to open it.

Pip has moods

• Pip waves hello, watches you type, cheers when you click it, naps if you leave, and looks confused when something goes wrong.

2 days of Thinker, free

• Run /link in the Dianoetic Discord and connect your account to unlock Thinker for 2 days. One trial per person.

More models, better routing

• New backup routes for every model, picked by scoring each one on maths, logic, code and facts. The fastest accurate models now answer first.
• Long answers in Ultra effort and Dianoetic Code no longer time out.
• The terminal app now knows whether it's on Windows, macOS or Linux and uses the right commands.
• Questions about news, prices, weather and the latest releases now search the web automatically and cite their sources.
• If every route for the model Auto picked is busy, another Dianoetic model steps in instead of showing the busy message.
• Smarter Auto: questions like "what's the function of the liver?" no longer get treated as code, and website requests go to Fable 2.5, the website specialist.

A smarter system around the models

• Specialist agents. Each message goes to the right specialist: Debugger, Frontend, Backend, Coder, Research, Writer, Reasoner or General. Each one gets its own instructions, reference material, tools and checks.
• Dianoetic knowledge. Coding answers can now draw on a reviewed knowledge base of notes and tested examples for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, HTML and CSS, Cloudflare Workers, APIs, SQL, security and Git. Replies that used it say so underneath.
• Checked code. Code in answers is checked automatically for cut-off blocks, unbalanced brackets, invalid JSON and placeholder code. Ultra effort fixes what the checks find before you see it.
• Smarter context. Long project notes and big memory lists now contribute only the parts relevant to your message, which leaves more room for the conversation.
• Simple questions like "what does reduce do?" get a fast answer instead of waiting for the heaviest model.

More reliable, more private

• If a model stalls in the middle of an answer, you now get a clear message instead of a reply that never finishes.
• When a provider runs out of capacity, Dianoetic skips straight to one that works, so replies start faster during busy times.
• Deleting a chat also removes its public share link. Deleting your account now also removes your API keys, custom plugins, Microsoft connection and feedback.
• Plugin secrets are now stored encrypted, and the Read web pages plugin refuses private network addresses.
• Broken links now land on a friendly page instead of a blank one.
• In the terminal app, Ctrl C now really stops a task after the current step.

Fable 2.5

• Your everyday partner. Fable 2.5 is built for daily work: emails, documents, spreadsheets, plans and schedules, finished and ready to use.
• Websites are its specialty. Clean, responsive HTML, CSS and JavaScript that looks designed, works on phones and runs in Live Preview.
• Word and Excel. Download any long reply as a Word document, or its tables as an Excel workbook. Connect Microsoft 365 in Settings → Connections and Fable saves files straight to a Dianoetic folder in your OneDrive.
• Auto now sends documents, spreadsheets, emails and web pages to Fable 2.5. Fable 2.0 chats continue on 2.5.

Dianoetic Code in your terminal

• Run dianoetic in any project folder. It reads your code, shows each edit as a colored diff before applying it, runs your tests, and fixes what fails. Install it with one line.
• /changes, /diff and /undo let you review and revert everything it did.

Changes panel

• In the Windows app, Changes (Ctrl Shift D) lists every file Dianoetic edited, with a line-by-line diff, and undoes a file in one click.

Smarter, and more up to date

• Web search plugin for current news, releases and docs, with sources.
• Context window meter. The ring next to Send shows how much of the context a chat uses, split into messages, system prompt, tools, memory and project knowledge.
• More backup models behind every Dianoetic model, so replies keep coming when one is busy.

A cleaner interface

• A roomier, rounder message box with the controls underneath, starter ideas with icons, smoother animations, and Get the app in your account menu.

September 27, 2026 · Dianoetic 2.0

Oriel, Fable and Canto 2.0

• Sharper routing. Auto now spots maths, logic and code in more languages, follows up on code you were just working on, and sends harder questions to a stronger model.
• Each model knows its strengths. Oriel re-checks calculations and code, Fable follows every length and format rule, and Canto answers in the first sentence.
• Ultra thinks twice. At Ultra effort, the model writes a draft, reviews it like a strict expert, then gives you the fixed answer.
• Knows today's date, and says so when something might be newer than what it knows.

Dianoetic Code in your real folders (Windows app)

• Open a project folder in the Windows app and Dianoetic Code works inside it: it explores, reads and searches files, makes precise edits, and runs commands like tests and builds, then checks its own work.
• You approve every command and every edit in a Windows dialog, or turn on "Edit without asking" for the current folder. It can't reach outside the folder you open.
• A notification lets you know when a long task finishes. Update by downloading the new installer from the Windows page.

Unity Live Sync and custom plugins

• Unity Live Sync. Add one script to a Unity project and Dianoetic Code's changes import while the Editor is open. It waits for Unity to compile and fixes any errors it finds. Set it up.
• Your own plugins. In Settings → Plugins, connect Dianoetic to any web service you run. Switch it on from the + menu and Dianoetic calls it when it helps.
• Edit photos on the Images page: attach a picture in Create mode and describe the change.

Projects

• Group chats into projects, each with its own instructions and reference notes that every chat in it follows.
• Start a chat inside a project, or move any chat into one from the button next to its title.

Live Preview in Dianoetic Code

• Websites and games Dianoetic Code builds run right next to the chat. Press Preview in the files panel.
• Previews run in a locked sandbox that can't see your account or the rest of Dianoetic.

Voice

• Press the microphone to speak your message instead of typing it.
• Read aloud reads any reply back to you.

Memory

• Say "remember that…" in any chat and Dianoetic keeps it for future chats, with a Saved to memory note on the reply.
• See, add and forget memories in Settings → Personalization, or switch memory off completely.
• Collab chats never use your personal memory.

Find and keep your chats

• Search chats now looks inside messages, not just titles, and highlights what matched.
• Download any chat as a tidy Markdown file with the button next to Share.

Collab

• Add teammates to any chat by username or invite link, and work in one conversation together.
• Everyone sees prompts and replies live, including the answer as it's written, who's typing and who's here.
• Each person's prompts use their own plan.

Share links

• Share a read-only copy of any chat with one click. Images and files stay private.

Dianoetic for Windows

• A 1.1 MB app with its own window and taskbar icon, synced with your account. Download it.
• On a phone? Add Dianoetic to your home screen from your browser's menu for an app-like view.

A calmer, cleaner chat

• A new look: our own typeface, a new Ink color scheme, and a brighter orange for Pip. The old Paper look is still in Settings → Color.
• Pick your colors in Settings: Ink, Paper, Slate, Graphite or Black & White.
• A blinking cursor while replies are written, a jump-to-latest button, and Retry on the newest reply.
• Edit your last message, and keyboard shortcuts for everything (press Ctrl / in a chat).
• Smoother animations across the site, which switch off if you prefer reduced motion.

Fixes

• The usage panel no longer opens behind the suggestion chips.
• Sidebar links no longer spill past the edge on smaller windows.
• The status page is simpler and quicker to read.
