Release overview — April 2026

The Curiosity Team

• 2026-04-30

In April, semantic search grew up, storage got simpler under the hood, and we started a top-to-bottom rethink of the administration experience.

Embeddings, your way

• External embedding providers: generate sentence embeddings from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic and Cohere. When you create an embeddings index, pick the external model type and supply the provider details. Curiosity uses it for similarity and semantic search.
• Smart caching: already-encoded text is cached so unchanged content is never re-sent, keeping cost and latency down.

A fluent similarity engine

A new "find items like this" engine builds similarity queries directly against the graph. It combines multiple scored signals and filters, with rule explanations that show why each result matched.

Storage, consolidated

• One database: workspaces move to unified on-disk storage, automatically upgrading to a single consolidated database. Existing deployments migrate on first startup and need no manual steps.
• On-demand storage diagnostics at startup, and periodic cleanup of expired cached sign-in data.

A redesigned admin experience

April kicked off a redesign that would continue through the spring:

• Administration screens rebuilt around a consistent segmented-tab layout.
• Users and Teams combined into a single Access Management view.
• Recent and pinned admin settings stay at the top of the sidebar.
• Serve different file sets per domain, with per-folder access rules.
• New graph operations to create users and teams, manage membership, and restrict access programmatically.

The little things

• The schema view now defaults to a visual graph tab for a clearer overview.
• PDF search highlighting is configurable between precise and extended modes.
• The SDK gained a method (and a public endpoint) to retrieve a node type's schema: its name, key field, and typed fields.

This overview covers builds v26.4.65832 → v26.4.66204. For the full, build-by-build detail see the changelog.
