what’s for xmas? 🎅
everything new in 1.14.0
this week, we focused on the AIRIS CHAT.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK 🧠
say thx to @sama & team —>
Have you heard of the new o1 model family from OpenAI? Well Airis can use it!
This means Airis can properly reason about the question you asked and provide better answers. Read more about o-1 here.
Available today to SigmaOS Max (o1-mini) & SigmaOS Beast members (o1).
a full GLOW-UP!
the Airis chat design has BASICALLY been the same since we launched it. 100s of millions of tokens sent later, we're redesigning it to make it easier to use, add context, and change models.
Try it out!

there’s also a bunch of NEW STUFF.
pick your RESEARCH ENGINE™ 🔍
many of you told us you like using Perplexity / ChatGPT Search for certain tasks, and Google / Bing for others…
soooo SigmaOS now allows you to set your RESEARCH ENGINE: a secondary search you can access by hitting cmd-enter in the Lazy Search, for more complex queries and questions.
You can pick between Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, and our own Airis Look it up, which runs locally on SigmaOS.
Settings > research engine > pick your poison
