Agent Zero v2.14 is out
This release focuses on the Core: optimization and stability, with a few new things on top.
Faster startup and chat switching:
Boot to first token time is down 35%, and opening a chat is 4x faster than the previous version. Embedding warm-up now overlaps chat restoration and startup services, and chat rendering proceeds independently of model, context-usage, and goal refreshes.
Paradee Heart local speech:
A 9MB text-to-speech model, added alongside Kokoro and made the default for unconfigured settings. Existing voice selections are preserved. It is English-only for now, a starting option.
Cost controls:
Configurable context breakdown and usage rows, plus selectable price currencies with cached exchange rates.
Browser configuration:
Streamlined quick settings, centralized extension management, Chromium management pages, download preferences, and optional annotation screenshots.
Scheduler editing:
Resizable and expanded prompt fields, drafts preserved after failed saves, correct initial state and project inheritance, and optional YAML task storage.
Subagents and chats:
Directly delegated agents show their working state and can be stopped independently. Parent cancellation propagates correctly, and nested children appear in the sidebar. Fixed disappearing chat and task lists when Sidebar Folders is disabled. Manual chat names stay intact under always-on automatic naming, and rejected custom names no longer disable it. Model preset editing reloads current presets before opening, so stale drafts cannot delete presets created elsewhere, and late selector responses cannot overwrite another chat's selection.
Models and providers:
Prompt caching preserves cacheable prefixes in long Responses conversations, adds cache routing for Venice and the Agent Zero API, and accepts configurable hints for custom providers. Better model compatibility with reasoning-field fallback, Claude prompt adaptation across third-party providers, and corrected repeat detection for native tool calls. Nebius, Venice, Z.AI/Coding, and OpenRouter embeddings now route through LiteLLM instead of custom endpoints.
