2.0.5 · Roberto

Named after my father, on his birthday.

Endurance, recovery, and persistent state.

Long-running AI sessions get a serious upgrade. Anthropic Containers give you persistent files, Skills, and bash sessions that span turns. Gemini Deep Research is now fully resumable - reconnect after pauses, recover from server cuts, cancel cleanly. Add to that Opus 4.7 with 1M tokens, GPT-5.5, DeepSeek V4, and two new vendors.

Models

• Anthropic Opus 4.7 with 1M token context, X-High effort, auto-detect features and 0-day models
• OpenAI GPT-5.5 family with 1M context, plus gpt-image-2 for image generation
• DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro with native thinking/reasoning_effort
• Gemini 3.1 Flash, 3.1 Flash Lite, 3.1 Flash TTS, Robotics-ER 1.6, and Gemma 4
• xAI Grok 4.3 with encrypted reasoning and reasoning summaries
• Moonshot Kimi K2.6
• New vendors: MiniMax and Arcee AI

Anthropic

• Containers (1h): persistent files, bash sessions, Skills, dynamic filtering, temp files across turns
• Skills: enabled by default with improved selector
• File API: download, embed, delete - text and image inlining via Container -> File pipeline
• Server-side recovered errors ignored, refusal details surfaced, code execution failures traced
