Alice v0.5.1 is the Phase 14 platform release for Alice.
This release makes Alice easier to plug into local, self-hosted, enterprise-curious, and external-agent workflows without changing its core continuity semantics.
Highlights
- Provider/runtime portability across OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and Azure-backed paths.
- First-party model packs for llama, qwen, gemma, and gpt-oss with provider-aware bindings and pack-aware defaults.
- Reference integration paths for Hermes, OpenClaw, and generic Python and TypeScript agents.
- Design-partner onboarding, workspace linkage, usage summaries, feedback intake, and launch evidence.
- Logging-safety hardening from HF-001: stdout-by-default local/Lite logging, disabled local/Lite access logs by default, and bounded opt-in file logging.
