What’s new in Pinar

Every note maps to a published version or the next prepared release, without mixing in unrelated work.

v0.9.4Oct 22, 2026

Pinar Cloud AI runs on credits only, with shorter AI terms

The assistant shows each step and keeps interrupted answers

Own endpoint tested before saving, and an assistant that waits for slow models

Your own Pinar Cloud endpoint is tested before it is saved, and only the button you clicked shows the progress. The assistant waits for a slow model while it keeps answering, stops showing “Looking it up…” after an error, and the assistant button in the header is now just the icon.

  • Your own endpoint is tested before it is saved
  • The assistant waits for a slow model that keeps answering
