Original release notes

• Constellation: use your Mac's models from your iPhone, iPad, or Vision Pro. Any Mac on your iCloud account with Remote Access turned on is found on its own — no address or token to enter — and tapping Use opens the chat right away while the Mac loads in the background.
• Noema picks the most private way to reach your Mac for each message, from your local network through to an encrypted relay, and shows which one it is using in the chat header. Off-grid Mode now holds across every kind of connection, not just ordinary web traffic.
• Your Mac can stand in for the cloud: its models appear in Autopilot's Stronger Model picker, and a new Fallback Model means a hard question tries another model before your on-device one answers.
• Chats sync across your Apple devices if you want them to — one switch, off by default, in a new Sync & Devices setting. Conversations, bookmarks, and per-chat settings travel through your private iCloud account, and a reply that finishes on your Mac appears on your phone without opening the app.
• Projects group related chats under shared instructions and sources, so every conversation in a project starts from the same context. Import PDFs, EPUBs, and text files straight into a project, or attach datasets you already have.
• A rebuilt chat drawer brings search, projects, bookmarks, favorites, and date groups into one list with a preview of the last reply on every row, and chats stay noticeably faster during long generations.
• Images you attach now reach the model at full resolution instead of being shrunk on the way in, so screenshots, receipts, and dense charts are legible to it for the first time.
• Paged Overfit models run with the context you choose instead of a hidden cap, and Laguna S 2.1 now works as a Paged model.
• Models are more honest about what they can do: a vision model that cannot actually read images no longer claims it can, and downloaded models use the Chat Template they shipped with.
• On Mac, the Relay page is replaced by a simpler Developer page, and Remote Access has moved into Settings, under Sync & Devices.
• Interface fixes, bug fixes, and polish throughout.
