GIDE 2.4.2 finds, downloads and tests a local model that fits your machine, completes support for a model on your own server with a one-command setup, lets local models read images, and caches online conversations.
GIDE 2.4.0 keeps a second local model loaded, lets you @ mention any local or online model mid-conversation, connects to a model on your own VPS, and reads images and documents.
GIDE 2.3.6 connects any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint with your own key, makes Ornith 1.5 9B the default local model, answers questions about GIDE itself, and asks before a tool reaches outside your project.
GIDE 2.3.5 brings the full agent to the terminal with the GIDE CLI, ships Linux builds for the app and the CLI, adds Folder Trust before any read or write, and opens GIDE into a conversation.
GIDE 2.3.3 reworks the first-run experience: a Welcome card with three direct actions, model downloads inside the chat welcome view, and a model picker that shows every state a model can be in.
GIDE 2.3.0 moves model weights out of the app so updates never re-download them, manages Ornith downloads in the app with resume and verification, and rebuilds the chat around compact tool chips and live thinking.
GIDE 2.2.0 auto-configures more local model families, adds online models on your own API key, introduces Skill Files and MCP servers, and gives every model temperature and GPU offload controls.
GIDE 2.1.0 introduces Individual, Pro and Enterprise subscription tiers with server-side feature access, moves command approval into the chat transcript, and adds a collapsible Thinking block with a live timer.
GIDE 2.0.0 adds Private Cloud mode, puts every file write and shell command behind your approval with the Write Gate and Command Gate, gives the agent a dedicated Git tool, and rewrites GIDE Wiki's architecture graph.
GIDE 1.106.0 rebuilds the agent around a plan-gate architecture, adds Context Memory, a refactor engine for 21 languages, 30+ new agent tools and a redesigned code indexer.
GIDE 1.105.4 brings GIDE to Linux, packaged as AppImage, .deb and .rpm, and validated on Ubuntu 24.04 under WSL2.
GIDE 1.105.3 makes Ornith 1.0 9B the default bundled model on every platform, adds downloadable Qwen, Gemma and DeepSeek models plus any GGUF, and fixes a batch of UI issues.
