+- v26.1.1: Added the option to attach files, including images, to chat templates; added support for source code file attachments in chats and document analysis; added a preview feature for recording your own voice for transcription; fixed various bugs in provider dialogs and profile selection.
 - v0.10.0: Added support for newer models like Mistral 3 & GPT 5.2, OpenRouter as LLM and embedding provider, the possibility to use file attachments in chats, and support for images as input.
 - v0.9.51: Added support for [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/); citations added so that LLMs can provide source references (e.g., some OpenAI models, Perplexity); added support for OpenAI's Responses API so that all text LLMs from OpenAI now work in MindWork AI Studio, including Deep Research models; web searches are now possible (some OpenAI models, Perplexity).
 - v0.9.50: Added support for self-hosted LLMs using [vLLM](https://blog.vllm.ai/2023/06/20/vllm.html).

 - v0.9.31: Added Helmholtz & GWDG as LLM providers. This is a huge improvement for many researchers out there who can use these providers for free. We added DeepSeek as a provider as well.
 - v0.9.29: Added agents to support the RAG process (selecting the best data sources & validating retrieved data as part of the augmentation process)
 - v0.9.26+: Added RAG for external data sources using our [ERI interface](https://mindworkai.org/#eri---external-retrieval-interface) as a preview feature.
-- v0.9.25: Added [xAI](https://x.ai/) as a new provider. xAI provides their Grok models for generating content.
-- v0.9.23: Added support for OpenAI `o` models (`o1`, `o1-mini`, `o3`, etc.); added also an [ERI](https://github.com/MindWorkAI/ERI) server coding assistant as a preview feature behind the RAG feature flag. Your own ERI server can be used to gain access to, e.g., your enterprise data from within AI Studio.

 - Added the option to attach files, including images, to chat templates. You can also define templates with file attachments through a configuration plugin. These file attachments aren’t copied—they’re re-read every time. That means the AI will pick up any updates you make to those files.
 - Added the option to use source code files in chats and document analysis. This supports software development workflows.
 - Added a preview feature that lets you record your own voice for transcription. The feature remains in development and appears only when the preview feature is enabled.

 - Fixed a bug in the profile selection where the "Use no profile" entry could not be localized, causing English text to appear in languages such as German. This behavior has now been fixed.
 - Fixed a bug in the provider dialogs (LLMs, embeddings, and transcriptions) when editing a provider. In cases where an error had to be displayed, a non-localized message in English was used.
 - Fixed a very rare bug in the provider dialogs (LLMs, embeddings, and transcriptions) where a validation error appeared if the API key could not be read from the operating system, but the error did not clear after the user changed the API key.
