# Foundry changelog

> What's new in Foundry. Big drops, small wins, fixes — month by month.

What's new on [chat.ironlabs.ai](https://chat.ironlabs.ai). Reverse-chronological. Newest first.

## June 2026

* **Model lineup cleanup.** Deprecated 31 prior-generation models from the chat selector: OpenAI `gpt-4.1`/`gpt-5.0`/`gpt-5.1`/`gpt-5.2`/`gpt-5.3-codex`, Anthropic `claude-sonnet-4` and `claude-opus-4.5`, Google `gemini-2.5-pro`/`gemini-2.5-flash`, xAI `grok-4` (plus legacy `grok-3`/`grok-3-mini`), Together `Qwen3-30B-A3B` and `Kimi-K2-Thinking`, plus older 2024 models. Newer generations stay: Claude Haiku 4.5 / Sonnet 4.5 / Opus 4.6+, Gemini 3.x, Grok 4.3+.
* **Brand: now Foundry.** The chat product is officially **Foundry by IronLabs**. Page title now reads "IronLabs — Foundry Results, not chat."
* **Fixed: billing display.** Cost and throughput numbers display correctly again; closed a \$0 leak in chat / cache billing paths.
* **Fixed: stream crash.** Prevented unhandled-rejection crashes on no-output streams + a freeModelCount app-shell crash.
* **Fixed: agent-mode UI sync.** Agent Mode now correctly syncs UI on fallback, skips doomed primaries, and alerts Sentry on critical failures.

## May 2026

* **3D Website Mode wired into the composer.** New composer UI exposes [3D Website Mode](/foundry/modes/3d-websites) as a first-class option alongside Chat / Image / Video. Backed by the OpenRouter pipeline introduced earlier as the first Workflow preset.
* **SLM passthrough completions.** New `/api/v1/slm/completions` endpoint with PBKDF2 API-key hashing and prompt support.
* **Vulnerability sweep.** Updated all vulnerable dependencies to resolve every critical and high CVE.

## April 2026

* **Promo banner** added.
* **UX polish.** Scrollbar at the rightmost edge, full-width header divider; image-mode edit-user-message fix; search + attach allowed for signed-in users.
* **Pricing tweak.** Web Search now costs 2× and [Deep Research](/foundry/sources/deep-research) costs 3× a normal chat reply.

## December 2025 → January 2026

* **Docs restructure.** [docs.ironlabs.ai](https://docs.ironlabs.ai) reorganized into two tabs — **Refinery** (developer platform) and **Foundry** (chat product). 35 new Foundry pages: Get Started, Chat, Modes, Reasoning, Sources, Connectors, Skills, Tasks, Workflows, Personalization, Tutorials.
* **Brand consolidation.** `iron.cx` shortlink kept as the chat-app short URL; `forge.ironlabs.ai` legacy domain folded into `foundry.ironlabs.ai`.

## November 2025

* **Image Mode model refresh.** Added **NanoBanana Pro**, **GPT Image 1.5**, and **Qwen-Image-2512** to [Image Mode](/foundry/modes/image). NanoBanana (the original) also landed earlier in the month.
* **Reasoning Effort Control.** Pick **Low / Medium / High** in Settings to trade off cost and depth. [Effort control →](/foundry/reasoning/effort-control)
* **Live Reasoning View.** Watch the model think in real time before it answers. [Live view →](/foundry/reasoning/live-view)
* **Memory Support.** Foundry now remembers what you told it last week — your projects, your tone, your favorite formats. (Roadmap: full dynamic memory; today: tuned via System Prompt.)
* **Zapier integration.** Drop Foundry into any Zap and run prompts inside your existing automations. [Zapier →](/foundry/connectors/zapier)
* **MCP Support.** Foundry can interop with Model Context Protocol tools and contexts.
* **Voice input.** Click the mic in the composer and speak your prompt. 99+ languages auto-detected. [Voice →](/foundry/chat/voice-input)
* **Dark Mode.** Everywhere — chat, dashboard, settings.
* **New keyboard shortcuts.** `⌘N` new chat, `⌘⇧A` add attachment, `⌘K` search.
* **Browser notifications** when a long response finishes — switch tabs without missing the result. [Notifications →](/foundry/chat/notifications)
* **Custom Router (Foundry side).** Build your own router with your chosen models, logic, and preferences. Self-serve, no human-in-the-loop.
* **Capabilities-based Model Selector filter.** Find the right model by what it does, not its name.
* **Feature Drop notifications.** In-app toasts when something new ships.
* **Latest models added** to routing: Qwen 3, Grok 4-Fast, Gemini 3 Pro / Flash, Claude Haiku 4.5, Claude 4.5 Sonnet & Opus, Kimi K2-Thinking.
* **Fixed:** multiple file upload bugs. More reliable attachments.

## October 2025

* **Image Generation Mode.** Generate high-quality images right in chat. Prototyping, design ideation, creative tasks. [Image Mode →](/foundry/modes/image)
* **New reasoning models** in chat + SDK. GPT-5 and newer Grok with better reasoning capabilities.
* **Fixed:** Ironlabs Studio UI bugs. Cleaner profile section. More reliable subscription validation and chat-subscription flows.

## September 2025

* **Reasoning tokens** now first-class. Live reasoning + reasoning summaries. Billing accounts for reasoning tokens accurately.
* **Regenerate.** Don't like a reply? Regenerate from the same or a different model — even mid-conversation.
* **No more jumpy scrolls.** Long replies no longer auto-scroll. A *Scroll to Bottom* button appears so you can read at your own pace.
* **Keyboard shortcuts.** A full set, designed to streamline navigation.
* **Cold-start latency.** Cut significantly via a Keep-Alive server (Vercel).
* **Dodo payments** for both custom top-ups and auto top-ups.
* **Model Selector modal redesign** — more intuitive, less clutter.
* **Fixed:** various UI inconsistencies.

## August 2025

* **Anonymous / Guest users.** Try Foundry without signing up. Great for first-time exploration.
* **Ironlabs Studio.** Powerful playground for developers, researchers, AI tinkerers — customize prompts, test responses, view token cost + latency in real time.
* **New models** added: GPT-5 series, GLM-4.5 series, Kimi K2.
* **Throughput tracking.** Better visibility into system performance and request handling.
* **Mobile responsiveness pass.** ChatsBar, Chat, Dashboard, ModelSelector — all tuned for small screens. Mobile overlay backdrop, refined sidebar toggle, mobile header with menu dropdown.
* **Rebranded domains.** `ironlabs.ai` is the landing page. `iron.cx` is the chat-app shortcut. Both live and healthy.
* **Background jobs.** New cron-job infrastructure for more reliable automation.
* **Fixed:** anonymous feedback flow, emoji rendering inconsistencies.
* **Fixed:** general latency and bug-fix pass. Faster everywhere.

## July 2025 — version 1.0

The first release. The start of an intelligent platform.

* **Unified chat interface** for top AI and LLM models — all in one place, no juggling.
* **Automatic LLM routing.** Foundry picks the best model per query (performance, cost, or latency).
* **Hyper-personalization via feedback.** Thumbs-up / thumbs-down individual responses; the router learns and tailors future routing.
* **Routing optimized on 1M+ training data points.** Real signal, not hand-tuned rules.
* **Arcade Mode.** Run multiple models side-by-side and pick the response you like best.
