Web search, OpenRouter and easier model choices

You can now look things up on the web and check calculations without leaving your chat. With a compatible Ollama or Ollama Cloud model, turn on Web or Calculator in Chat Settings, or type /web or /calculator. Web starts with DuckDuckGo, without a search account. You can also choose Brave Search, SearXNG or Links Only in Preferences.

Web asks for permission before first use and stays off in Local Only mode. You can review tool activity and web sources beside the answer. Those results stay with your saved chats, exports and conversations continued in a new chat.

The redesigned Models view helps you choose by what you want to do, download size and support for pictures, tools or multiple languages. Compare versions and estimated memory and storage needs before downloading. When Moose manages Ollama, suggestions also consider the memory available on your computer. Installed models have a Use button to start a chat, and progress messages make downloads and removals easier to follow.

OpenRouter is now another way to chat. Add your key and choose a model, with pictures and reasoning options where supported. Switching between services and finding your chat settings is easier, and chat titles better reflect your topic and language.

Longer chats with Ollama now leave more room for an answer. If an answer reaches its length limit, the text stays saved and is marked as incomplete. Choose Continue to pick up where it stopped. Moose remembers your reasoning preference, with reasoning off by default where supported. Message spacing has also been improved to make conversations easier to read.
