Skales v11.4.21 - Overall Improvement

Your agent finishes the job now: set a Goal step budget in Settings → Goals (or 0 to let a goal run straight to the end while you are away), and it picks up where it left off instead of starting over. New AI models tune themselves automatically, so a fresh release works the day it ships. Plus Veo 3.1 and Nano Banana image models in Studio and chat, a more reliable Google (Gemini) connection, and Wrapped badges that match a big week.

We've just released Skales v11.4.21, bringing a number of practical improvements to your AI desktop agent. Our focus remains on making Skales a reliable and helpful tool for your daily tasks.

LLM Profiles Stay Up-to-Date

Your LLM Profiles will now automatically refresh from our community repository about twice a day. This means that as soon as a new model profile is published, your Skales will have access to it without needing a separate Skales update. Your own imported profiles are unaffected, and this feature is inactive if you have LLM Profiles turned off.

Google API Key Handling Improved

Requests to Google services, including chat, image and video generation, and model listing, will now send your API key in the standard x-goog-api-key header. This is a more secure way to handle your key, keeping it out of URL logs and aligning with Google's current practices.

Studio Model Selection Updated

The Studio now defaults to offering the latest models. The video picker includes Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3, Kling 2.0, 1.6, and 1.5. For images, you'll find Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2, alongside Imagen 4 and Gemini Flash Image.

Enhanced Goal Management

Goals can now run much further before pausing, with an increased default step budget. You can also adjust this budget in Settings > Goals, even setting it to 0 for a goal to run to completion with minimal interruption. Goals now run in the background, and can even fan out parallel sub-agents for tasks that split into independent strands.

Updates Sep 6, 2026 Skales v12.9.26 - Grip Grip is the release where Skales stops when you say stop, and tells you what it costs before it spends. Under every reply sits the price of the session, read from the provider or from the price table, with the sub-agents' bill included; a ceiling you set in Goals stops a run before the next paid step and asks you three things - continue, take a cheaper model, or stop - in the chat, in the Code window, in Iris and on the phone. A typed "stop" is honoured before the first request leaves the machine, and a stopped run says so in its own bubble instead of pretending it finished. Credentials are locked away from the file, shell and search tools; a bulk action or a publish asks first, in every mode, and a yes never covers more than the card names. Updates Sep 4, 2026 Skales v12.9.25 - Backbone Backbone is the release where Skales got one engine. A chat you type, a task you scheduled, a job on a timer, a plugin, a webhook, a Discord message, a Telegram or WhatsApp turn and the desktop Buddy used to run on different loops with different rules; now they all run on the same one, with the same guards, the same budget and the same record of what happened. Close Skales in the middle of a run, update it, let it crash: the run comes back as an unfinished run, says how far it got, and one Continue picks it up at that step. Ask for something big and Skales can hand parts of it to sub-agents, each in its own checkout of your repository, and collect the results. Under every reply sits a context meter that names what filled the window: the system prompt, the tool definitions, your skills, your memory and the conversation itself. Updates Sep 2, 2026 Skales v12.9.21 - Cockpit 2.0 Cockpit 2.0 is named for the screen it replaces. What used to be two stacked tab bars, a second title and a row of icon chips is now one board: everything that stands, in four columns, with goals, your own tasks, Autopilot tasks and schedules as cards you can filter, drag and act on. One head, one action. The phone got the same board in 2.9.21, and a computer on an older version still fills it from what it can tell rather than showing an empty screen.
