Changelog
What changed in FreeTheAI Chat, newest first.
Thursday · 2026
New
Web search in chat, and @ commands#
- Models can now search the web when a question needs current information, and the reply lists its sources underneath.
- Type @ and pick Web search to make every reply search first. It works with your own provider keys too.
- Commands now open with @ instead of /. The old / still works.
- Chats open faster after a reload.
Fixed
Follow-ups on every model, and new link previews#
- Some models refused the second message of a chat, or any message once you had saved memories. Both work now, and those models read your memories too.
- Sharing a chat page shows a new preview picture.
Fixed
Staying signed in, clearer models, and a quicker first reply#
- Fixed chat signing some people out every few minutes, which could make a message fail or send twice.
- Models have readable names, and the picker opens on a short list of recommended ones.
- Your first message of a visit starts sooner.
- The free message count stays current across tabs, and says it is shared with the dashboard Playground.
Improved
The AI notice stays in view#
- The note that AI can make mistakes now sits at the bottom of every chat, in larger, clearer text.
- Its link to how AI replies work opens in a new tab, so your chat stays where it was.
Improved
The front page in eight languages, in light or dark#
- The front page, chat policy, and changelog switch between English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Portuguese, and Arabic, and remember your choice.
- A light and dark switch sits in the top bar and matches the theme you picked in the chat.
- Each page has its own picture, and the policy has a short summary and a list of its sections.
New
Compact long chats, and memories#
- Type /compact to sum up a long chat and keep going. Chat also does it for you before a chat runs out of room, and you can undo it or compact again.
- Earlier messages stay on screen and in downloads after a chat is compacted.
- Chat remembers useful things about you across chats, like your name and preferences, and anything you ask it to remember or add with /remember. See, remove, or turn off memories with /memory.
New
A front page, a chat policy, and this changelog#
- chat.freetheai.org has a public front page that plays short examples of Chat: switching models, attaching files, groups, your own keys, commands, and downloads.
- The chat policy explains plainly what is saved in your browser, what is sent to get a reply, and what applies to your own provider keys, and the Terms and Privacy Policy say the same.
New
Chat groups, and long chats that stay fast#
- Put chats into groups from a chat's menu, and open or close each group in the sidebar.
- Long conversations open faster and stay smooth while a reply arrives, on phones too, even with many code blocks.
- Images are stored more compactly in your browser, and a model's thinking shows with its formatting.
Improved
Easier to read and use on phones and tablets#
- Replies, code, and menus use larger text, and buttons are easier to tap.
- On iPhone, text fields no longer zoom the page, and nothing sits under the home bar.
- Creating an account from Chat now brings you back to Chat once your email is confirmed.
New
Attachments, downloads, and taking back a message#
- Attach photos, screenshots, PDFs, Word and PowerPoint files, and code with the paperclip, by dropping them on the message box, or by pasting. Chat tells you when a model cannot read images.
- Download any conversation as Markdown, a web page, plain text, JSON, or a spreadsheet.
- Take back your last message with Edit and resend: its text and attachments return to the box, where you can change or remove them and send again.
- Code in replies is colored by language, and each block names its language.
Wednesday · 2026
New
FreeTheAI Chat#
- A chat app for FreeTheAI's free models, signed in with your FreeTheAI account. Your history stays in your browser.
- Pick a model per message, turn thinking on or off, search your chats with Ctrl K, and type a slash for commands.
- Add your own OpenAI-compatible provider keys next to the free models.
