v2.0.0

# 🚀 Big-AGI 2.0.0 - **Open**, **Free** and **Pro**

### A year in the making, redesigned for professionals.

**Big-AGI 2.0** is here. More than an update; we've rebuilt core components, massively improved the UI, and are officially launching the three-tier model to support the project's next phase.

Built for **Engineers** architecting systems, **Founders** making decisions, **Researchers** validating hypotheses, and IT departments deploying the top value to their company, and after **thousands of hours of engineering**, we're delivering what you asked for: a professional-grade AI workspace that's local-first, vendor-neutral, and madly optimized for zero latency.

## What's New

### **Beam 2: Multi-Modal Intelligence**
Program-based reasoning across multiple models simultaneously, with **images**, **follow-ups**, and **saved presets**.

### **Professional Features**
- **Reasoning Models**: Anthropic Claude Opus 4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, OpenAI GPT-5/o3/o1, xAI Grok 4, etc.
- **Web Search** native and with citations for supported models
- **Image Generation** with Nano Banana and gpt-image-1, including edits
- **Local FileSystem** integration: drag/drop files to add context, diff them, and save them back, automatically
- UI completely overhauled for desktop and mobile

### **Cloud Sync (Pro Only)**
10 months of solo engineering. Real-time sync across unlimited devices, 1GB storage. Your data, your control.

### **Technical Improvements**
- **Local-first redesign**: Everything runs in your browser when possible. Zero latency. No vendor lock-in.
- **Multi-part/multi-modal** almost every subsystem has been redesigned and drastically improved
- And plenty more - see the latest on [big-agi.com/changes](https://big-agi.com/changes)

### Three Tiers
- **Big-AGI Open** (self-host): First to get new models. Maximum control. IT departments love it.
- **Big-AGI Free** (big-agi.com): Full core experience with Beam, Personas, and the best UX
- **Big-AGI Pro** (from $10.99/mo): Everything + **Cloud Sync** across unlimited devices with 1GB storage

As an independent, non-VC-funded project, Pro subscriptions fund all development including the free and open-source tiers.
