For this release, we merged 200+ PRs to introduce many new features, fixes including: * **Auto Compaction (Experimental)** for longer chats beyond context limits * **Remote & LAN Access (Preview)** for easy network access without Cloudflare links * **Faster Chat** - Improved streaming performance, reduced UI lag, and smoother long conversations. * Support for **custom llama.cpp builds**. Toggles for Cache RAM, Mmap, Mlock, Checkpoints, Spe Decoding KV Cache, Vision On / Off * [Unsloth Dynamic v3.0](https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/dynamic-3.0-ggufs) is released. New Qwen3.8-27B Dynamic v3.0 GGUFs deliver >10% higher top-1 accuracy compared to everyone else. Works with Unsloth. ##### Auto compaction (Experimental) You can now do long chats and surpass a model's context limit, with evicted turns remaining searchable. * Long local chats can continue past the context limit by rolling older turns out of active context. * Auto compaction creates fresh context epochs instead of permanently trimming replies. * Evicted conversations remain searchable, with improved fact recall. * Context window information is shown before chat begins. **How it works** * Entire oldest turns are removed only when needed, never mid-message. The saved transcript stays unchanged. * Evicted turns are indexed into a per-thread searchable archive using Unsloth's existing RAG pipeline (store, chunker, embedder, retrieval). Lexical search is prioritized because chat recall is usually exact matches like names, numbers, or IDs. * A recall is forced during eviction instead of relying on the model to search itself. Later retrieval uses `search_conversation`. * The archive persists across epochs, allowing future compactions to recover previously evicted context. * No summarization: it showed little benefit and added ~190s per compaction. ##### Remote & LAN access (Preview) Access Unsloth from another device on your network, managed from settings. * New dedicated Settings section for remote access. * Enable or disable LAN access without restarting. * Supports connection addresses, QR codes, and optional auto-start. * LAN access is disabled by default and requires changing the generated admin password. ##### Chat + Functionality improvements * Long chats are faster with optimized streaming and thread handling. * Projects organize chats, files, and workspaces together. * Chats remember composer settings, system prompts, and model sampling options. * Added prompt queueing and customizable keyboard shortcuts. * Added `edit_file` tool for partial file modifications. * Improved tool calling and MCP behavior. ##### Hardware + inference improvements * Support for custom llama.cpp builds. * Toggles for advanced settings - Cache RAM, Mmap, Mlock, Checkpoints, Speculative Decoding KV Cache, Vision On / Off * Better validation for missing GPU support and oversized GGUF models. * Improved MTP performance and VRAM handling. * Better compatibility across ROCm, xFormers, and flash-attention setups. * Added Intel XPU support. ##### API + serving * Responses API supports structured output formatting. * Improved recovery when llama-server crashes. * Added OpenCode V2 support for `unsloth start`. ##### Hub + Desktop + training * Hub supports more image/video workflows. * Faster and improved GGUF downloads. * Desktop packaging and permissions improved. * Training scheduler and preprocessing improvements.
