Skales v12.7.45 - SKLS Unsloth

A repair release, built the day after 12.7.4 from what the first devices

We've just released Skales v12.7.45, a minor update focused on improving the stability and reliability of your local AI experience. This release addresses a number of issues reported by users, particularly around local server connectivity and model management.

Unsloth Desktop Integration

Unsloth Desktop is now a first-class provider within Skales. You'll find its own tile in the provider grid, complete with an on/off switch and an address field. A button is available to locate a running instance on its standard ports. As Unsloth Desktop is the first local runtime requiring an API key, the card now clearly indicates where to obtain it, and refused keys are reported correctly. The "Refresh Models" function now reads Unsloth Desktop's GGUF catalogue, showing quantisation details for each file. Model VRAM duration is now configurable within Unsloth Desktop itself.

Local Server Connectivity

A key fix in this release ensures that when you switch to Skales Local, the correct local model ID is used. Previously, the previous provider's model ID might have persisted, leading to requests for models that the local runtime couldn't find. Both request paths now correctly resolve model IDs from the capability matrix, provider card, or the runtime itself. Requests to local addresses will no longer carry foreign vendor IDs.

Mac Apple Silicon Build

The Mac build for Apple Silicon now correctly includes the local server. Previous versions were unnecessarily large, carrying engines for other platforms. Each platform and architecture now stages its own engines, and build gates ensure the correct files are included. Bundled libraries have also had their build-machine search paths repaired, leading to smaller Mac packages.

Model Discovery and Loading

We've improved how Skales discovers and displays available models. The "Fetch Available Models" function now correctly identifies models held by your local runtime, displaying them directly on the card without needing a button press. Projector companion files will no longer appear as answerable models. Additionally, models located on other disks are now found more reliably, with Skales checking Ollama's configured paths, LM Studio settings, and asking running runtimes what they hold.

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.
