Release overview, January 2026

The Curiosity Team

• 2026-01-30

We kicked off 2026 by making Curiosity more flexible about where AI runs and more capable with the messy real-world content inside your workspace. Here are the January highlights.

Bring your own model

The big theme this month: you choose the model, and where it runs.

• Ollama support: connect a local or self-hosted model server and stream responses just like any cloud provider, keeping everything on your own hardware.
• Provider & model picker in the chat box: switch models on the fly, mid-conversation, without leaving the chat.
• Assistant template, separate from provider: pick the behavior (the template) independently from the model that powers it.

Media streaming and document rendering

• In-browser media streaming: audio and video now stream and seek directly in the browser, with scrubbing support. New files are stored in a seek-friendly form, and S3-backed storage serves byte-range requests.
• Better document rendering: improved Word rendering and fidelity, custom font installation for document rendering, and PostScript font embedding.

Search results as tables

Search results can now render as a table layout with columns, so structured data reads like the records it is instead of a wall of cards.

For administrators

• WebDAV access to workspace definitions: browse and edit them over a standard /dav/ mount, toggled on or off from workspace settings.
• Edit list, dictionary and table fields directly in the node editor.
• Import code from another endpoint via a searchable endpoint list.
• Log search with a text filter plus a severity-level selector, and a richer index list with a tag column for custom-code indexes.
• Endpoints can read incoming HTTP request headers, and edge timestamps are settable when writing to the graph.

Insight into data and endpoints

• Schema statistics in the Data Hub: a new Schema view shows field-level statistics and value distribution histograms for any node type.
• Endpoint metrics: per-endpoint request volume, latency and error rates with inline sparklines, plus a diagnostics panel that shows an endpoint's execution logs while you edit and test it.
• The code editor shows formatted documentation and signatures on hover and in autocomplete, and custom code gets generated, typed helpers for the workspace's endpoints and AI tools.
• A visual schedule editor replaces the raw cron field for scheduled tasks and apps.
• Successful logins are recorded to the audit log, with the originating IP.

The little things

• Paste images straight into AI chat from the clipboard. Multiple pastes stay separate.
• Tool names show up as readable, spaced words while a chat is working.
• One-archive export/import for AI tools and entity post-processing.
• Bulk entity toggling now saves correctly.
• A unified save button across admin settings, with explicit saving, saved and error states.
