Increased context size on Venice Large from 32k to 128k tokens.
Changed the default image model from Venice SD3.5 to HiDream.
Changed image generation to show each image as it’s generated instead of waiting for them all to complete to display. This should result in much faster time to first image.
Simplified the duplicated “Safe Venice” settings into a single “Mature Filter” setting that optionally supports setting a PIN.
Added in-line citations to search results.

Improved image rendering performance to reduce memory pressure on browsers for conversations with long image histories.
Add a setting to the “App Settings” that allows users to mask their personal information in the user interface:

Fixed a bug that was showing a success message on shared encrypted links when the sharing was unsuccessful.
Fixed a bug where images showing up from variant generation did not appear in the proper order when viewed in the light box.
Updated the chat input prompt text to indicate users can ask questions about an image when one is attached in chat mode.
Increased anonymous user image generation limits to 16 per day.
Substantial improvements to model settings handling focused on ensuring optimal settings are selected from model to model.
Fixed a bug that could cause Venice Small and Venice Reasoning to hallucinate references when no web search was conducted.
Fixed a bug where double scroll bars could show up on chat settings.
Fixed a bug that would cause some closing reasoning (</think>) tags to be ignored, causing improper rendering in the UI.
Increased context size on Venice Large from 32k to 128k tokens.
Fix for thinking parsing to ensure the values set in venice_parameters are properly interpreted and displayed in the response. Ensures specific think messages are properly stripped in non streaming mode.
