We've implemented the context-switching mechanism, and it's available in our latest version of the VS Code plugin. Now, you can change the max context value for models depending on your needs — small context for less memory usage and faster operation or large context for deeper insights.

Model Deprecation

Our UI updates now flag models slated for removal. This ensures you're always working with the latest and most efficient models.

Factory Reset Fix

We've resolved issues with the factory reset process for when you need a fresh start.
