This new release (BrainSoup 1.17.0) is a major update which introduces the following changes:

• Enhanced user interface: In agent and chat room configuration screens, a short description is now displayed for each context subscription, event subscription and allowed tool.
• When an agent uses a tool, the full name (Tools + Function) is now displayed in the chat status and technical details of the message, for greater clarity.
• Updated Doc-E's knowledge.
• Fixed a problem in Ollama LLMs stop sequence management that sometimes caused agents to answer their own questions.

This new release (BrainSoup 1.16.1) is a major update which introduces the following changes:

• Local LLMs! You can now create agents using LLMs running on your own machine, for zero operating costs and improved confidentiality. The installation and management of these local models is left to the excellent free Ollama app, which you need to install separately. Once installed, all Ollama LLMs will be available in BrainSoup. You can also specify the URL of an Ollama server installed on another machine.
• Improved agent configuration window: The maximum token count of the selected LLM, working memory and agent responses are now displayed.

This new release (BrainSoup 1.15.0) is a major update which introduces the following changes:

• Multimodality for all LLMs! Support for audio and image files for richer interactions with your agents.
• New Embedding Vectors Model: We are now using the new OpenAI 'text-embedding-3-small' model, which is more efficient and 5 times cheaper than the previous one. Document indexing will now cost you almost nothing!
• Improved Document Indexing System: Smarter and 30 times faster indexing process, with support for text, audio and images.
• Support for New File Types: Including '.docx', '.wav', '.flac', '.mp3', '.mpga', '.m4a', '.ogg', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', '.bmp', '.gif', enhancing data management.
• Multi-level Document Understanding: Your agents can now better interpret and interact with large content.
• Semantic Indexing of Sandboxed File System Files: Agents can now better understand the content of the files you share with them in the chat, espaecially when they are subcribed to the 'FileSystem' context.
• File Sharing with Agents: Easily share files with your agents by dragging and dropping them into the chat or the Sandboxed File System explorer.

This new release (BrainSoup 1.14.0) is a major update which introduces the following changes:

• Mistral AI: All Mistral AI LLMs are now supported! From the very economical mistral-7b to the very powerful mistral-large, which rivals GPT-4. Our favorites are mistral-8x7b and mistral-medium, which offer the best cost/performance ratios for their use cases.
• Universal function calling: We've developed a system that allows any LLM to use tools, even if it wasn't designed to do so. When such an LLM needs to use a tool, it is able to delegate the function call to a superior LLM (GPT-4 at the moment, but we'll soon make this configurable). This system works for Mistral's LLMs, as well as for any future LLMs we add.
• Updated and optimized knowledge of Doc-E, to reduce it's operating costs.
• Fixed a problem that prevented message technical details from being copied to the clipboard.
