Full Release Notes

We did many new improvements and fixes to Studio!

* Tool calls for all models are now **+30% to +80% more accurate.**
* Web search now actually gets web content and not just summaries
* Number of tool calls allowed are increased to 25 from 10
* Tool calls now terminate much better, so looping / repetitions will be reduced
* More **tool call healing** and de-duplication logic to stop tool callings from leaking XML as well
* Tested with `unsloth/Qwen3.5-4B-GGUF` (`UD-Q4_K_XL`), web search + code execution + thinking enabled. 

| Metric | Before | After |
|--------|--------|-------|
| XML leaks in response | 10/10 | 0/10 |
| URL fetches used | 0 | 4/10 runs |
| Runs with correct song names | 0/10 | 2/10 |
| Avg tool calls | 5.5 | 3.8 |
| Avg response time | 12.3s | 9.8s |

## New features
* **Update button** now visible
* Install script styling all updated!
* Added **custom folders** so you can use any GGUFs in any folder - for now access in Advanced Settings in Chat and Custom Folders
* Preliminary **Automatic Multi GPU support for inference and training** - useful for large models that don't fit on 1 GPU - Studio auto will allocate GPU resources
* Intel Macs should work out of the box

## Much smoother and faster Studio
* **Fixed timeouts of downloads of large models** - no more timeouts seen.
* **Fixed Hugging Face rate limiting - HF API calls reduced by 90%**
* Fixed bun on Windows and faster installs
