# Big-AGI 2.0.5 - Roberto

> Named after my father, on his birthday.

### Resilience, persistence, excellence.

Long-running AI sessions get a serious upgrade. Anthropic Containers give you persistent files, Skills, and bash sessions that span turns. Gemini Deep Research is now fully resumable - reconnect after pauses, recover from server cuts, cancel cleanly. Add to that Opus 4.7 with 1M tokens, GPT-5.5, DeepSeek V4, and two new vendors.

### Models
- **Anthropic Opus 4.7** with 1M token context, X-High effort, auto-detect features and 0-day models
- **OpenAI GPT-5.5** family with 1M context, plus **gpt-image-2** for image generation
- **DeepSeek V4** Flash and Pro with native thinking/reasoning_effort
- **Gemini 3.1 Flash**, 3.1 Flash Lite, 3.1 Flash TTS, Robotics-ER 1.6, and Gemma 4
- **xAI Grok 4.3** with encrypted reasoning and reasoning summaries
- **Moonshot Kimi K2.6**
- New vendors: **MiniMax** and **Arcee AI**

### Anthropic
- **Containers** (1h): persistent files, bash sessions, Skills, dynamic filtering, temp files across turns
- **Skills**: enabled by default with improved selector
- **File API**: download, embed, delete - text and image inlining via Container -> File pipeline
- Server-side recovered errors ignored, refusal details surfaced, code execution failures traced

### Gemini Deep Research
- Full SSE migration (no more POST + GET-loop)
- Resumable across pauses with full recovery mode (#1088)
- Cancel and delete controls, multiple reattaches
- Audio + thoughts support, image-as-figure handling
- Option to disable visualizations (#1095)

### Beam
- Auto-title beam chats when done (#1078)
- No accidental wipe with Ctrl+Shift+B (#1079); no re-beam while open
- No ghost columns in 2-beam mode (#1073); title edit fix (#1085)

### UX
- Inline message timestamps with TimeAgo (#1065)
- New chat on startup option (#1002)
- Single-dollar inline LaTeX (#795)
- Model pub dates, "new" badges on models under 30 days
- Sort LLM categories by name, filter chat drawer by open beams

### Also New
- AIX Resume framework with stop/cancel/recovery across providers
- xAI: encrypted reasoning by default, reasoning summaries always (#1091)
- OpenAI Responses: encrypted reasoning, tool re-parsing fixes
- New Global AI Settings store
- Performance: throttled code highlighting, memoized reasoning chips, lazy per-chat stores

### Fixes
- Voice features hidden in browsers without Speech Recognition (#1061)
- OpenRouter models refresh (#804)
- Zod 4 type strictness (#1072)
