- Newest models: Claude Sonnet 5.5 with adaptive thinking, GPT-6.1 Sol, an Astra Ultrafast speed switch, and automatic fallback when a gateway model refuses or is unavailable.
- Approvals got stricter and clearer: the approval card is now the only way to approve credential use, strict-posture approvals show the gated call's arguments, and single-use credential grants are…
- Security screening simplifies to three modes: off, observe, and enforce. Memory adds provenance-aware disclosure and audience isolation.
- App sharing is one General access menu (Restricted, your org, or anyone with the link), and sharing outside the org stays off unless an org admin enables it.
- Goals are simpler and harder to game: exact timed floors, file-based evidence, a visible indicator, and only a human stop or an independent verifier can end one.
- Subagents feel present: their activity shows in the parent session, sessions keep working while they run, elapsed time ticks live, and opt-in Slack task cards track ongoing work.

What changed: recent QM releases
13 stable releases in the last 90 days · Full changelog
- QM has a desktop app, with browser sign-in handoff and the download in Settings.
- Admins can see where the money goes: a spend dashboard with time-series breakdowns, reports served from saved daily totals, and per-cron runtime overrides plus separate org defaults for crons and…
- Inbox Loops arrive: flagged loops with durable event ingestion, each with its own icon or uploaded logo.
- New models and easier picking: GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, and claude-opus-5-5 join the registry, you can save eight model presets, and the picker menus got simpler.
- Sign in with a password on the built-in auth broker, alongside the existing email flow.
- Agents integrate outward: a turn can call tools the caller executes, and runs stream tool calls and results as AG-UI events.
- Agent swarms arrive in beta: durable pools of subagents with scoped messaging, inline progress badges, and Modal-backed workers. Deployments can turn swarms off.
- Connecting Slack got much easier, with provider-managed installation, a guided bot onboarding checklist, and sturdier thread and DM conversations.
- You can steer a running task with files and images, conversation documents now go straight into model inputs, and suggested prompts are collaborative and contextual.
- Apps got real management: edits persist, each app serves from its own isolated origin, and shared Fly publishing is durable with private scale-to-zero routing.
- Connectors reach further: MCP connectors can use per-user credentials, and Composio works through ordinary credentials and skills.
- People can bring their own AI accounts from Settings, and sign in through trusted OIDC with remembered providers.
- Retries after a failed turn now back off instead of hammering, and sessions keep their titles when the model errors.
- Web fixes: drag targets stay put during streaming redraws, transcripts measure correctly after markdown renders, prompt expansion controls work inside message bubbles, and runtime-default prompts…
- Verified human replies in threads can use admin routes again, and the admin's internal member override editor is back.
- For operators: chart pods can run as a configurable service account.
- docs: update README screenshot to Victor Hugo conversation
- fix(admin): restore internal member override editor
- Admins can now manage models directly: add a model and its metadata gets looked up for you, each one is verified before it can be enabled, and tasks resume on whichever native runtime you pick.
- Sandboxes grew up. They're independent resources now, with sensible defaults, one set of tools, and native provider recovery. We qualify them by actually running code on each provider.
- Big files just work: uploads go straight to object storage and can resume if interrupted, and attachments stick around in completed chat history.
- Safer screening in Auto posture. We decide what counts as external from the egress proxy instead of trusting command text, only external tool results get screened, and anything we can't account…
- The web app got a real polish pass across chat, inbox, settings, and the sidebar. Chat search is much faster, live thinking stays in the transcript, and long pinned prompts collapse.
- More control over sessions: choose isolated or open sharing, sign in by email on remembered browsers you can revoke, and portal sessions now default to 7 days rolling with a 30 day cap.
- Allow operator admin login without email
