Release Notes
Changelog
Updates, changes and improvements to Rhazes.
2.9
Improved source handling, speed enhancement, bug fixes and usability improvements
2.9 - Apr 22, 2026
new multi-phase sources pipeline, user-controlled source configuration, geolocation for local guidelines, and reasoning transparency
Redesigned sources pipeline: Introduced a new multi-phase retrieval architecture that separates source gathering into distinct phases, improving the relevance and structure of information used to generate responses.
Non-blocking parallel source generation: Sources are now fetched concurrently and non-blocking, reducing wait times and making responses feel significantly faster.
User-controlled source configuration: Users can now configure and persist their preferred source types directly from a reworked sources panel. Source preferences are saved to their account and applied consistently across sessions.
Geolocation for local guidelines: Added geolocation detection to automatically surface locally relevant clinical guidelines. Users can set or override their location directly from the sources panel.
Merged and deduplicated references: References are now grouped and merged by source type and label, reducing noise and making the citations panel easier to scan.
Reasoning transparency: Thinking tokens from the pipeline are now surfaced in the UI and saved to the database, giving users visibility into the model's reasoning process as it works through a query.
Citation improvements: Improved fallback handling when no source is extracted, and a bug with follow-up queries on web sources has been fixed.
General fixes and polish: Resolved issues with source selection not carrying over on edited messages, numbered list clipping, scrollbar in markdown tables, session file content loss, and various stability improvements.
2.8
higher answer accuracy, stronger and more controllable information sources, and workflow improvements
Significantly improved answer accuracy: Major upgrades to the underlying reasoning and retrieval pipeline to provide more precise and reliable responses to user queries.
Expanded and enhanced source coverage: Increased both the number and quality of sources used to generate answers, improving the depth and relevance of retrieved information.
Greater user control over sources: Users can now influence which source types are prioritised and how information sources are weighted when generating responses.
General user experience improvements: Various interface and performance refinements to make the application smoother, faster, and easier to use.
New “Information Gathering Mode”: Introduced a toggleable mode that suppresses AI responses when messages are sent. This allows users to continuously add transcripts or supplementary information without interruption before requesting a response.
