v0.10.1 Prerelease (final RC for wider testing)

v0.10.1 (RC) - A Leap Toward the Synergy Engine

Hey friends, supporters, and early adopters! It’s been nearly a year since our last public release (v0.9.0, March 23, 2024), and we’re thrilled to share this release candidate for v0.10.1. This is a big step forward for ADAM and our vision of a distributed, semantic future with the Synergy Engine. We’ve packed a ton of innovation into this release—especially with local AI integration and a rock-solid Holochain update—and we’d love your help testing it over the next few days before we finalize v0.10.1.

tl;dr:

Binaries for Linux and macOS below. You want the "ADAM.Launcher..." files. CLI binaries are for servers or devs. Latest development build of Flux which you'll need to test this RC is hosted at: https://fluxsocial-dev.netlify.app/

What’s New?

A f***ing lot! Here are the highlights:

Local AI Comes to ADAM

The star of this release is integrated local AI in ADAM. Now, ADAM apps can seamlessly tap into large language models (LLMs), transcription, and embedding tasks via simple interface methods. Set your preferred local or remote models once in ADAM’s settings, and every app you run inherits that AI config. Privacy-first, powerful, and flexible—whether you’re loading models from Hugging Face or your own files. Curious? Check out PR #522 and PR #504 for the details.

Holochain Gets an Upgrade

We’ve updated to Holochain v0.3.6 (PR #542), and it’s running smoother than ever. This brings better performance, reliability, and a foundation for our distributed network goals. Paired with fixes like improved diff-sync (PR #536) and faster Prolog updates (PR #510), ADAM is more robust than ever.

Flux: Your Conversations, Supercharged

Our flagship ADAM app, Flux, showcases what’s possible with this release. Imagine joining a call where:

• Local AI transcribes everything privately in real-time.
• Transcriptions post as chat messages, creating a live conversation log.
• Local LLMs analyze the discussion, grouping it into topics and subtopics.
• Embedding vectors let you search for similar conversations within your Neighbourhood.
  

This is a working MVP of the Synergy Engine use-case—semantic queries across a local group today, and soon, the entire ADAM network tomorrow. We can’t wait for you to try it!

Other Highlights

• Dynamic AI Models: Add DeepSeek, Qwen, or Whisper models at runtime (PR #561, PR #562).
• Better Developer Tools: New where clauses for SubjectEntity queries (PR #560) and voice activation options for transcription streams (PR #566).
• Ad4m Connect Polish: QR code scanning on mobile and UI tweaks (PR #497, PR #509).

Why This Matters

This release isn’t just a feature drop—it’s a milestone. The local AI in ADAM and the semantic magic in Flux are proof-of-concept for the Synergy Engine: a future where you can query and connect ideas across the entire distributed ADAM network, not just your local Neighbourhood. We’re getting close, and your feedback now will shape the final v0.10.1.

Join the Testing Party!

We’re releasing this candidate to give our community—YOU—a chance to kick the tires before the official v0.10.1 drop. A quick heads-up on builds:

• Windows: No binary yet (we’re working on it!).
• Linux: Requires a recent distro with new glibc (see Tauri issue #9039). We’ve got CUDA and non-CUDA builds—use CUDA for local LLMs with a beefy GPU (min. 6GB VRAM, 8GB+ recommended).
• macOS: Metal-powered and ready for all M1+ Macs. Intel build in progress.

Download it ("ADAM Launcher" files), play with Flux (use the development deploy: https://fluxsocial-dev.netlify.app/), tweak some AI settings, and let us know what works (or doesn’t) via GitHub Issues. Focus on Flux’s transcription, topic grouping, and search—those are the stars we want to shine.

Shoutouts

Big thanks to our contributors, including new faces
@jhweir and @saul-jb, and core team members
@lucksus and @fayeed. This is a collective win!
Let’s make this final push to v0.10.1 awesome together. Happy testing!
