New features:
- visualisation of temporal relationships in Layla's long-term memory

A while ago, Layla introduced temporal memories: memories that evolve in time. This update brings a whole new way to visualise your character's memories!

Your memories are now laid out in a 3D space; past memories are "deeper" into the z-axis. A slider at the bottom allows you to navigate through your memories in time, jumping from past to present.

You will notice that memories naturally form "clusters" in time. These are memories that occur within a relatively short timeframe. Each cluster has it's own central node(s), with auxiliary memories branching out around them. These clusters are segmented via a time-dilated algorithm: recent memories are finely-segregated, while older memories are more clustered together. This mimics how human memories work; you often remember recent events clearly, while the longer the events are in the past, the more they combine into one big cluster.

Important nodes in each cluster are linked together in time. These are usually "common entities" between temporal clusters. Intuitively, this should be important characters, topics, etc. The graph reflects this. The "anchors" in each cluster are usually the two main participants of the conversation (you and your character). These nodes glow brighter in the memory network, and you can see faint "temporal links" between them. These temporal links are annotated by the time elapsed between each cluster, which is visible in the memory graph.

There are a lot more ways in which this marshalled data and relationships can be used during the recall process, and this is something I will continually improve on over time!

Improvements:
- significant improvements to the performance of chatting, especially for very long conversations spanning hundreds/thousands of messages
- long-term memory will now recall earlier memories from the same conversation that has been cycled out through context shifting
- fixed a few conditions in triggering new search agent
- supports the new Ministral-3 family [THINK] tags

Bug fixes:

- fixed a bug where automatically searching for models in OpenAI compatible API endpoints was not working
- fixed a bug where Layla does not stop the server from generating messages even after pressing "stop"
- fixed a bug where voice chat does not speak aloud responses
- fixed a bug where audio is only played through speakers and not AirPods

New features:

- Layla supports animated PNGs and GIFs for your character cards



Improvements:
- added setting in Reference documents to control the threshold of how long a document needs to be before it is summarised instead of injected wholly into the context
- prompt templates are now case insensitive
- display character full name in chat instead of just the first name

- you can share text with Layla to start a chat with that text



Bug fixes:
- fixed a bug where the document name was not detected correctly when adding a document from chat
- fixed a bug where character sorting changes back to the default after exiting chat
- fixed a bug where tool calls are included in long-term memory messages
- fixed a bug where Layla crashes on importing a huge TavernPNG card

- fixed bug where option toggles are not showing

- improved stability in chatting
- fixed a few bugs in edit/regen
- fixed bugs related to the calendar agent

Layla 6 supports Agents!

Agents are fully configurable, self-contained workflows that can be triggered and executed by Layla during chats. Their functionalities can range from injecting simple context, to fully automated workflows such as reading a webpage and saving it as a reference document. Each agent is also modular: you can attach them to your own characters; they will still complete their respective tasks, but under the personality of your attached character.

An agent is comprised of two parts: triggers and tools. An agent can have multiple triggers and call multiple tools. You are free to mix and match them in any combination when creating your own agents!

New features:
- Long-term memory has been significantly improved!
- LTM now implements a 4 stage retrieval process, to balance speed and quality:
- “raw memories” are created immediately as you chat; they are available immediately when starting the next conversation, no processing time needed
- “embeddings” are created in the background; this process is relatively fast, and will be available 5-10 minutes after a conversation ends
- “summaries” are created as a background process, when your phone is idle; this process can either be done by the built in summariser, or a chosen LLM
- “knowledge graphs” are created last, with all the information available in the previous step, and require an LLM to process
- During recall, memories are retrieved starting from “raw memories”, and re-ranked by content in each level as they become available, so you will immediately get memories, but the injections will increase in quality as new memories are ingested

Improvements:
- support for Gemma 3n models
- improved prompt format slightly for vision models
- backup and restore data now prevents back button presses or navigation to avoid accidentally corrupting your data if you move away from the screen
- added ability configure a character level image generation prompt prefix
- LTM no longer processes think tags from reasoning models
- performance improvements to rendering chat messages
- Layla will now automatically select the best prompt format after you've selected your model
- backups & restore will now also backup your OpenAI inference settings
