Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.98.1/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.98.1/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity-regexp '^https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/\.github/workflows/(release|nightly)\.yml@' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!

Rex, OSC 7501, xAI/Grok OAuth and more

Hey! There’s some good quality of life stuff in this release. Let’s take a look!

It’s Rex Time

Following an update on Bubbletea Crush now supports the Program Status Protocol, aka OSC 7501, created by Superlogical for Rex! As a bonus, TUIOS also supports the protocol.

x.AI OAuth

Now Crush supports Grok OAuth login. Enjoy!

Many more fixes

A lot of fixes were introduced this version:

• Server side improvements by @meowgorithm
• External editor swallowing empty buffer
• Models behind OAuth couldn't be used if they weren't in Catwalk
• Fixed MCP toggled misbehavior

And a lot more from @taciturnaxolotl. Read all below!

Good luck, Charm XX 👋🏻

Quick little theme API adjustment

Hey! ICYMI we released support for themes a few hours ago. Before they get too widely adopted, we’re making one small breaking API change to the names of keys.:

insert_bg -> insert_code_bg delete_bg -> delete_code_bg

This is what it looks like in code:

{
  // ...
  "diff_insert_fg": "#629657",
  "diff_insert_code_bg": "#2d3431",
  "diff_insert_gutter_bg": "#282d2c",
  "diff_delete_fg": "#a45c59",
  "diff_delete_code_bg": "#33272d",
  "diff_delete_gutter_bg": "#2a232a",
  // ...
}

See ya! Charm 🎸

Hello, Plan Mode

This release introduces many improvements but, most importantly, and a solid new feature from one of our very talented contributors:

Let’s plan

At last, thanks to the very talented work of @vadiminshakov and @andrinoff, we present the long awaited Plan Mode.

Plan Mode is for…planning. Talk to the agent, answer questions, and put together a plan and then, when you’re ready, get to to work. You can activate plan mode with shift+tab.

Juicing more perf

@andreynering and @taciturnaxolotl marched forward in the quest for max perf in this release. Details below.

That's all for now. See you soon!

Cheers, Charm xx 🌟

Lil’ OpenAI-Compatible Protocol Fix

This is a hot little mini patch to fix a regression in OpenAI-compatible endpoints that could occur when turns were stopped partway through. This regression happened because we were furiously making improvements for the DeepSeek V4.X Flash series that you all cannot seem to get enough of!

Thanks also to the very patient @teddytennant who fixed a small bug around turning home dirs into ~s.

xoxo, Charm

ChatGPT subs, non-interactive improvements, and a touch of perf

This is a pretty solid release with some nice contributions from both the Charm team and one of our fave contributors. Let's go!

Use your ChatGPT subscription in Crush

If you love Crush and your ChatGPT subscription you’ll love this release. Enjoy!

Non-interactive mode: reasoning

Headless Crush users now get more control with a new --reasoning-effort flag in crush run. Go crazy and orchestrate to the max!

If you (or your agent) mistypes a reasoning effort you'll get the proper accepted values, too.

crush run --model "hyper/glm-5.3" --reasoning-effort "max"

Shredding the perf

@taigrr contributed a bunch of solid performance improvements to scrolling and spinners. Mouse scroll events are coalesced, chat scrolls are memoized and the spinners all use a shared clock. This stuff is really good: check it out.

Choppin’ off 4MB

We also ripped the Swagger stuff from client-server mode with a hand-rolled—but fully OpenAPI v3.2.1 compliant—implementation. This shaved about 4MB off the binary and will nullify chances of in the long run. Thanks, Go type system!

Have a great weekend, Charm 💌

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.94.1/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.94.1/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!

Disable mouse support + more

Hey, how's your week going? We have a few changes today, including mostly fixes but also a few nice additions.

Disable mouse support

Want to disable mouse support in Crush? Feel lucky because our favorite contributor @timotheosh added just that.

With the config below you can achieve that. It's also possible to toggle it via the command palette dialog.

crushrc:

option ui mouse false

crush.json:

{ "options": { "tui": { "mouse": false } } }

Fixed UX for non-vision models

In some cases, Crush were allowing you to attach an image even when the selected model was not vision-capable. The attachment was then being silent dropped in the request.

Now, we're properly validating it and showing a message so you know when it's not supported.

Fixed some models on GitHub Copilot

On Copilot some models only works on the /responses endpoint: named GPT-6 Astra and the Grok models.

Fixed some models on OpenCode Zen & Go

OpenCode also require some models to use specific endpoints. Not every model support the /chat/completions endpoint; some require /responses or /messages.

We fixed this issue for the models OpenCode currently supports.

Fixed Sentry MCP + others

A misconfiguration made it impossible to authenticate with OAuth2 with a few the MCPs, including the Sentry MCP. This is now fixed!

Fixed potential memory leak

@caniko discovered a memory leak, specifically when discover_models: true is set. This issue was fixed!

To read the technical explanation, see #3162 and #3683.

See you in the next release! The Charm Team :tm:

Compact Exit Banner + Mode

This release includes some fixes + an UX improvement.

Compact Exit Banner

It's now possible to configure the exits banner to more compact, if you so wish.

.crushrc:

option ui exit-banner compact
option ui exit-banner none
option ui exit-banner default  # default

crush.json:

{
  "options": {
    "tui": {
      "exit_banner": "compact"
    }
  }
}

Default:

Compact:

Agentic fixes

We made quite a few fixes to Fantasy to make it more stable and fix a few issues with some inference providers.

Small Bash config fix

@devYRPauli made a fix to the Bash config. When adding a model, --price-cache-create and --price-cache-hit were swapped but this issue is now addressed.

Fixed GitHub MCP + UI fixes

A small patch with a couple fixes.

Fixed GitHub MCP

The GitHub MCP stopped working in Crush in the recent days, but it's now working again.

We "sessionless": true (or --sessionless true) that some MCPs might need to work correctly. For GitHub MCP, we're enabling that automatically so it works without extra config for you.

Code indentation fixes

We fixed a couple bugs with wrong indentation in code in the UI. This could happen on tool calls previews or code inside markdown.

Example screenshots:

After

New Hyper models

Last news, we have 3 new models available in Hyper!

• Qwen3.8-Flash
• Qwen3.8-27B
• Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B

These are really good models, I hope you enjoy!

Don't know Hyper yet? Hyper is Charm's provider with a $20/m subscription. Check it out!

That's all for today. Keep crushing! Charm 💌

MCP fixes

Our fave contributor @joestump did a couple fixes on how Crush handles MCPs to make it more reliable, specially when the MCP is mis-configured or mis-behaves.

UX fixes

@andrinoff also made a couple fixes:

• Fixed ctrl+a after v0.91.0.
• Improved copying by selection with wrapped lines
• Added documentation on how to set a custom Catwalk URL

That's all for today. See ya! Charm

Text selection and better mouse support

Just a few QOL improvements to the prompt editor and session picker for the weekend!

Text selection

Hold shift and use the arrow keys or click and drag with your mouse to select text in the prompt editor. From there, you can use any of the fancy new shortcuts 👀

• ctrl+shift+a selects everything
• ctrl+shift+c copies the selection
• ctrl+shift+x cuts the selection
• ctrl+shift+v pastes text

Typing or pasting over selected text replaces it.

Mouse support in the session picker

We've been missing mouse support in the session picker for too long! You can now scroll through sessions with the mouse wheel, click an entry to select it, or double-click to open it.

A small Windows fix

Pressing a modifier key by itself could send some dialogs back to the top on Windows. They should stay put now.

Keep crushing! Charm 💌

Tiny patch

This is a tiny release, but we thought it would be worth it.

• Updated Bubble Tea with a couple fixes for some terminal emulators.
• Updated Fantasy with fixes for AWS SSO and better cache hitting.
• Fixed wrong background color on permissions dialog. This was a regression from adding Bash syntax highlighting on v0.89.0.
• Updated our .gitattributes to make development easier on Windows. We're normalizing LF (instead of CRLF) as line breaks to fix some tests on Windows.

A couple QoL goodies

We're releasing a few Quality of Life :tm: enhacements for you. They're simple, but these simple improvements compound with time to make Crush better and better.

Hint on quitting Crush

When quitting Crush, you'll see a splash screen with a hind on how to quickly continue from the session you left.

Bash tool syntax highlighting

When displaying what Crush is running using the Bash tool, the shell command will now have syntax highlighting. It's a small addition, but definitely improves legibility.

Moo :cow:

ctrl+end to jump to bottom + follow

If you want to quickly jump to the bottom of the chat, you can now just press ctrl+end. This will also ensure Crush will follow the chat as new messages arrive.

MCP improvements

We enhanced things to make it more stable and fix a couple of edge-case bugs.

That's all for today. See you in the next release! Charm 💌

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.89.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.89.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!

Thoughts? Questions? We love hearing from you. Feel free to reach out on X, Discord, Slack, The Fediverse, Bluesky.

It’s Time for a Bugfix Throwdown

This release is all about stability and quality of life with a buncha fixes around MCP, server-client, and odds and ends. Here's what’s inside:

• UX: Typing clear in the command will match Summarize; thanks, @joestump!
• LSP: @piakdev fixed a case where LSP could panic
• MCP: Slow loading MCPs could block messages from being sent: we reduce default timeout
• Server-Client: MCP OAuth didn't work in server-client mode; now it does
• Server-Client: Clients in the same workspace could kill each other: not anymore
• Server-Client: When the server is running over TCP keystrokes no longer hit the server and slow everything down
• Hyper: Added various small improvements for better UX

Thanks for using Crush. Have good weekend! Charm 💌

.crushrc is here!

Hey! Hope everybody had a great week. We were pretty productive at Charm and we're releasing some cool stuff today.

Bash configuration! (.crushrc)

Yep, .crushrc has come! You existing JSON config still works, but we just started migrating to something a lot more flexible!

An example on why this is cool: if you manage Crush config in a dotfiles repo, you can still have machine-specific overrides by using source to call a separate file that will be in your .gitignore. I'm sure there are many other use cases.

To read the full documentation on this, read this document.

See a snipped so you have an idea on how it looks:

# Add Ollama.
provider add ollama --type ollama --base-url "http://localhost:11434/v1"

# Register a model on Ollama.
model add ollama/llama3.3 --name "Llama 3.3" --context-window 128000

# Auto-approve some tools.
permissions allow view edit

# Add an MCP server
mcp add github \
  --type http \
  --url "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/" \
  --header Authorization "Bearer $GITHUB_TOKEN"

# Load some extra config
source "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/squid-config.sh"

# Change config based on the machine you're on.
if [[ $HOSTNAME == "babysquid" ]]; then
    option skill-path "$HOME/squid-skills"
fi

Better AWS Bedrock SSO support

@jan-xyz did a great job bringing this one to life!

When using AWS Bedrock via SSO, tokens expire with time and need to be refreshed. Crush now has a proper configuration and UX for authenticating, and it will appear whenever tokens need to be refreshed.

To read more about it, see #2886.

More reliable Agent Fetch

@sven2718 contributed with better retries in searches when they don't work in the first try. Searches will be more reliable now, specially when doing many in a short period of time.

Fix for Fable 5

@sven2718 also contributed with a fix for Fable 5. When Anthropic decides to reject your prompt for security reasons, we'll now a proper error message in Crush. Before, Crush would just stop without giving context on why.

Crush now compiles on IlluminOS

Never heard of IllumiOS? Neither none of us at Charm, but @timotheosh adjusted the code to ensure it compiles there now!

Go compiles to many environments, and it's always fun to see Crush working on more operating systems! By the way, do you know you can use Crush on Android? :robot:

Enhanced MCP OAuth

In the last release, we shipped support for OAuth authentication for MCPs.

@BrunoKrugel did a few fixes to make more MCPs that require OAuth work as expected.

Agentic fixes

Quite a few fixes were made to Crush as an agent as well. Some of these were made on Fantasy and brought to Crush.

New Hyper models

Not less important, we keep bringing updates to Hyper, which is more stable than ever and has Minimax M3 and Qwen3.7-Flash avalable now.

A lot happened this week! We hope you enjoy, and Keep Crushing :tm:! Charm

MCP OAuth, performance and more

Happy Friday everybody!

We're releasing some nice features for you so you can enjoy your weekend vibecoding. (Or not, stay outside :sun_with_face: and return to Crush on Monday! :smiley:).

MCP OAuth

That's it, it's finally here! Some of you have been asking for this for long.

This is required for some MCPs to work. Want to know to it set it up? Refer to this section into the README.

Thank @joestump and his agent @joestump-agent for this contribution. And of course, our favorite @taciturnaxolotl also helped.

Claude Channels MCP extension

@joestump (and his agent) also added an initial implementation to support the Claude Channels MCP extension, which means MCPs can now send notifications to Crush when certain events happen.

Give this a try if you're interested, and let us know how well it works for you.

Restored MCP prompts

MCP prompts were unintentionally disabled in a previous release, but they were now added back!

LSP performance boost

Another cool contrib was made by @TheJhyeFactor, who vastly improved the CPU and memory usage on handling LSP servers in large repositories!

See #3370 for a more in-depth explanation of the optimizations.

Bang mode performance boost

@TheJhyeFactor also improved performance of output streaming when running command in bang mode.

Check #3381 to see some benchmarking.

/etc/crush/crush.json

You read it right! Thank to @Muttaqin86 you can now have a system-wide Crush configuration on /etc/crush/crush.json.

The motivation for this was improving compatibility with NixOS.

Fixed Copilot + GPT-5.6

All three GPT-5.6 models (Sol, Terra and Luna) are now fixed when running via GitHub Copilot. Kudos to @nghiant03 for this!

That was a lot, but it's really fun to how much the community is enganged with Crush dev.

Keep Crushing! :tm: Charm

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.87.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.87.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!

Thoughts? Questions? We love hearing from you. Feel free to reach out on X, Discord, Slack, The Fediverse, Bluesky.

LSP tools, scrollable sidebar, removable attachments + more

Hey all. We're starting the week in style by shipping some LSP stuff and more goodies.

Brand new LSP tools

These new LSP tools will allow the model to more accurately do some refactors:

• lsp_rename - Rename a symbol and all its references in the project
• lsp_replace_symbol - Replace, insert before/after, or delete an entire function/method/class by name

If something doesn't work as expected by the LSP, don't worry. We'll report an error to the model so it can fallback to using the edit tool.

Scrollable sidebar

This one is pretty cool. Got out-of-space in your sidebar? Don't worry, you can scroll its content now!

Keyboard:

• When focused on the chat view: l or right arrow focuses on the sidebar
• j/k or up/down arrow scrolls up and down
• g scrolls to top shift+g scrolls to the bottom
• h or left arrow focuses back on the chat view
• tab always returns focus to the editor

Removable attachments

It's now possible to remove attachments with your mouse! Just click on the X button:

Better Hyper OAuth

When authentication on Charm Hyper ™️ or GitHub Copilot you can now press u to copy the URL. This is needed for certain scenarios, like when using Crush over SSH, where it might not be possible to open the browser automatically.

Quit dialog hint

When rendering the quit dialog, we're now showing an hint that it's possible to skip the confirmation completely by simple pressing ctrl+c twice.

Agent fixes

• Reasoning effort level none is now working for Baseten models
• Thinking blocks are now rendering for MiniMax M3 via OpenCode (thanks @marifcelik)

That's all for today. Keep crushing! Charm

If you have questions, we have answers

This release brings us a question tool (at last!) plus a bunch of bugfixes and niceties. Let's go!

The Question Tool

So! Crush now ships with a first class question tool, useful for when LLMs wanna grill you. The question tool comes in many forms, like single choice, multiple choice, free form text, and yes/no. Questions can be ganged together to build a form, too.

What’s that you say? “Does it have mouse support?” Why, yes it does.

What is this sorcery? Only @taciturnaxolotl knows. He solo’d this whole feature exclusively with open source models on Hyper.

Hurry up and wait

Ever put an LLM to work, only to forget about it and come back and wonder how long it's been cranking? @andrinoff sure did. Wonder no more.

And so much more

Like Prince in the 80s, @taciturnaxolotl continued his tour of awesomeness alongside @andreynering to make Crush better under the hood too:

• Fixed: crush auth now works outside of client/server mode
• New: Crush now auto retries auth under the hood when it fails
• Improved: dialogues now render great on tiny screens
• Perf: scrollbar optimizations for faster rendering
• Perf: memoized markdown renderer for faster rendering
• Perf: short circuit jq builtin operations if the turn was canceled before it started
• Yay! OpenAI merged our PR upstream so we're back off our fork

Buckle up, we have a bunch more coming.

xoxo, Charm 💘

Session affinity, for real this time

This bumps Fantasy upstream, which was missing in the last release to actually send session id headers in the last revision.

Enjoy! Charm 💘

If you like caching and coding on your Android, you’ll love Crush v0.84.0

This is a mini release with two little niceties:

Cachemaxxing

Crush now sends the fabled x-session-affinity header (and x-session-id) in its requests. Supporting providers can pick the header up, pin the session to a given replica, and go cache wild. The session header is a hash with no personally identifiable information, of course.

Fixed: Termux

If you’re a nerd with an Android, you probably use Termux, the hot Android terminal emulator. If you’re a cool nerd, you probably want to use Crush on an Android and are annoyed that it was broken. Thanks to @Ricardo-M-L, Crush now works on Android again.

Hope you're having a great summer! Unless you're in South America, Central America, the Southern part of Mexico, parts of Africa or Australia, in which case…hope you're enjoying the Winter!

xoxo, Charm 🍔

General fixes

Hello. This small patch includes some varied fixes.

Better chat scroll

On some rare occasions, the chat could stop scrolling automatically to the bottom as the model works. We made some changes to make this more reliable!

General agent fixes

There were a few fixes here and there making the agent behave better. We made thinking on/off and reasoning levels behave better for providers like Alibaba and Baseten, for example.

We are finally mentioning Hyper on README, which are our favourite inference service for Crush.

See ya!

Some UX stuff for ya

We're starting the week in good style by adding some nice additions and improvements.

Chat scrollbar

This is it, the chat just got a scrollbar! This should make your life easier on navigation long session. You can now see exactly where you are when scrolling.

It's possible to adjust the behavior with a setting: options.tui.scrollbar.

• default (hides after 2 seconds)
• always
• never

{
  "options": {
    "tui": {
      "scrollbar": "default" // default, always, never
    }
  }
}

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c0c0f888-78d4-4457-ae32-eb1a2dd5f575

Herdr Support

Have you been wanting to use herdr.dev for all your agent management needs? Well now its even better! @taciturnaxolotl merged support for agent status signaling so now herdr can pick up on the status of crush and send you notifications when it is blocked or finished!

Lower CPU usage

Crush could use too much CPU when streaming thinking traces and showing them for you. @taciturnaxolotl worked through an optimization and that's now fixed!

Fix possible deadlock on startup

If you happen to have a model ID in your config that does not exist anymore (was removed from the providers), Crush could lock when booting and not start at all. This bug was addressed.

Images and your session

This is another fix to prevent your session from breaking when you switch to a non-vision model but your session already has images. We're going to skip the images so your session keep working.

That's all! Charm

The Ol’ Thursday Patch

Hi all! It's patch time, and time for some bonus features. Let's go!

Fixin’ broken tool calls

Occasionally a model will opt to do a tool call with invalid arguments (invalid JSON), the session was just breaking, and even new prompts wouldn't anymore. We're now validating the issue and reporting it as an error to the model so it can correct itself. Of course, we also fixed the associated bug in Crush so sessions will no longer break.

Local models: auto-detectin’ context windows

Who loves local models? Now, Crush will now automatically detect models context windows with you add an endpoint for llamacpp, omlx, lmstudio, litellm, and ollama. Prior to this it was mis-setting window sizes to zero.

Config: harder, faster, stronger

Okay maybe not harder. But config in Crush is definitely faster and stronger.

We refactored on the so it's way more performant and safe for big, long configs where there are many providers, models, and so on. This also means that the model picker dialog will load faster too! We also added some safeguards to prevent race conditions when multiple Crush instances try to update the config at the same time.

You look great

That's all for today! Keep crushing it, everyone. :cupid:

More Bang Mode™ improvements

This morning we released the new Bang Mode. For this release, we did a couple small fixes and enhancements to it:

• We tweaked the font colors to make it more legible;
• A long-running command will now show immediately and stream output as the command runs;
• Session name generation is fixed for sessions started with a command.

Agent bug fixes

We made a few bug fixes to Fantasy to make Crush behave better with certains providers and models.

• The tool not found error now print the list of available tool. This is targeting certain models like Kimi that sometimes can get lost and call tools that doesn't exist;
• Fixes potential tool call errors with the GLM family via Fireworks;
• Fixed some GPT models via Azure (thanks @dustinlagoy);
• Fixes Gemini via VertexAI (thanks @eswar-7116);
• Fixed tool calls sometimes not working properly for local models.

Have a great weekend and keep crushing! :rocket: The Charm Team

Bang Bang!

We're ending the week in style with one awesome feature you've been asking for and one awesome feature you didn’t! Let’s go!

Bang Mode

“What’s bang mode?" you ask. Why it’s simply a nice way to let you run Bash commands directly in a session. It’s great for taking advantage of the shell without leaving Crush. To enter bang mode, just type a !. To exit, hit backspace.

Of course, the best thing about bang mode is that the model can also see the out, so if you run a command you can then chat with the model about it.

Special thanks to @taigrr for the initial implementation to @taciturnaxolotl for turning it up several notches, with some suggestions from @nobilelucifero. Enjoy and let us know if you have of any feedback!

Local Model Auto-Discovery

@taciturnaxolotl loves local models. What he did not love was manually adding them to the Crush, and like a true open source devotee, and he took matters into his own hands. Crush can now auto-discover local models for a given endpoint so you don't have to declare them manually.

{
   // Look Ma, no manual model definitions!
  "providers": {
    "ollama": {
      "name": "Ollama",
      "base_url": "http://localhost:11434/v1/",
      "type": "ollama"
    }
  }
}

This works for MLX, LMStudio, LiteLLM and Ollama. More info in the README.

(Is cool or what? Someone get @taciturnaxolotl a Strix Halo!)

The clipboard: now clipper than ever

We improved the way the clipboard works in Crush big time, particularly in X11 and Wayland: xclip and xsel are no longer required! You can also paste TIFFs (WeChat users, rejoice!) and super+v (yes, ⌘+v, macOS people) will also now paste images.

Fireworks

By popular demand Crush now supports a new provider: Fireworks! Grab your API key, choose a model on Fireworks and go to town.

Thanks

As always keep the good vibes coming, and keep crushing It!

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.78.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.78.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!

Thoughts? Questions? We love hearing from you. Feel free to reach out on X, Discord, Slack, The Fediverse, Bluesky.

Global context, better commit messages…and you

It's been a bit! There’s lots of good stuff in this release, so let’s get right to it.

Global context

Want Crush to always call you Shirley? Or maybe you want it to default to Jujutsu? This is now a piece of cake with user-level context files thanks to @Amolith.

If you create ~/.config/AGENTS.md or ~/.config/crush/CRUSH.md, Crush will reference it on session start just like your usual project-level AGENTS.md and CRUSH.md. Nice!

Crashes? Not on Kieran’s watch.

Kieran, otherwise known as @taciturnaxolotl, is fast. Really fast. The other day Crush crashed for him, he honed in on two bugs in Lip Gloss and Glamour, and patched them before we could say, "Don’t panic!" Thanks, Kieran!

Better commit messages and PR descriptions

You know what drives us crazy? When LLMs write overly-technical commit messages and PR descriptions that reference obscure parts of the code. Commit messages and PRs should be understandable to readers unfamiliar with the codebase.

This PR improves the system prompt so LLMs author clearer, more understandable commit messages for human beings.

Named hooks

Thanks to contributor @BrunoKrugel, you can now name your hooks, making them easier to identify in the CLI.

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "name": "Mr. Hot Hook",
        "matcher": "bash",
        "command": "./hooks/my-hot-hook.sh",
      },
    ],
  },
}

For more info see https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/pull/2778.

Client-server: socket fixes

Client-server mode isn’t quite ready for prime time yet, but many of us are using it day-to-day regardless. One of the coolest things about client server mode is that it runs over unix domain sockets (which absolutely rock) and named pipes on Windows. This release fixes two bugs around that:

• Stale sockets are now cleaned up on startup, allowing Crush to run properly
• On unix systems sockets now live in the places they actually belong: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR on Linux and $TMPDIR on macOS, rather than /tmp.

Try out client-server mode with CRUSH_CLIENT_SERVER=1.

See u soon

Thanks for all the positive feedback about Crush. We ❤️ you!

Friday patch

Shipping a couple small things for those who will keep crushing during the weekend.

Permissions UX fix

We made a change to avoid accidental interactions when the permission dialog shows. Crush will now ignore key presses up to 350ms after the dialog is shown. This will prevent you from accepting or denying something by mistake when you're typing when the dialog appears.

crush models fix

crush models will not shown all models, and not only the configured ones.

More client-server

And more and more fixes for the experimental client-server architecture are merged. This will power Crush to do really nice things once finished!

That's for this week. Enjoy your weekend! Charm ✨

Bug fixin'

This is a maintenance release which fixes a couple small bugs.

Hyper OAuth fix

We fixed a bug where the Hyper OAuth dialog could appear mid-session, in case you had multiple Crush sessions that attempted to refresh the access token at the very same time.

Fixed rare startup bug

This is a rare edge-case, but we fixed a bug that could prevent Crush from starting in case it can't find a default large or small model for a provider, due to it being removed.

That's all for today. Stay tuned! 📺

Friday patch

Finishing the week with a few fixes.

Fix for bash tool

@taigrr helped with a fix to prevent the bash tool hanging when the model tries to run interactive commands like git rebase -i and others.

OpenCode + Qwen 3.7 fix

Qwen3.7-Max via OpenCode is not working. OpenCode requires the Anthropic Messages API for this model.

Client-server

Even more fixes for the experimental client-server architecture. Currently opt-in via CRUSH_CLIENT_SERVER=1.

That's all for this week! Charm :sparkles:

More client-server, better notifications, and more

Bringing you a few enhancements and bug fixes. Let's check them out!

Client-server

The experiment client-server architecture got even more fixes.

Want to test? Set CRUSH_CLIENT_SERVER=1.

Better notifications

We updated our notifications to be smarter. They will now work when using Crush over SSH, and support for more platforms were improved as well.

Copilot fixes

A couple more models that require the Responses API will now use them and work again. This includes GPT 5.4 and GPT 5.5.

Bedrock fixes

A couple more improvements were made to AWS Bedrock, in particular regarding Bedrock Europe and the support for authentication via aws login.

See you in the next release! Charm

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.74.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.74.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!

Follow-up to Bedrock

Last Friday, we shipped some changes for Bedrock to make it work by default for most users.

Before that release, your AWS_REGION or AWS_DEFAULT_REGION could instruct Crush to try to reach Bedrock at a different region, and it could not work at all because most models are only available in very few regions. Because it was not clear why Crush was not working for Bedrock, this could be confusing to users. We then enforced us-east-1 for region because that one should work for everyone.

Bedrock Europe 🇪🇺

Since then, a few of you reached out telling us that models are also available on eu-west-1, and some users in Europe might prefer or need (due to employer restrictions) to use an European region.

Starting on this release, you'll see two providers if you search for "bedrock":

• Bedrock US: will use us-east-1
• Bedrock Europe: will use eu-west-1

That's all for today. Stay tuned for the next releases!

QoL Release

Hey all! Some of you in the US 🇺🇸 are enjoying a Holiday, but we're still here shipping stuff.

Today's release ships some Quality of Life :tm: improvements.

Better user-invocable skill commands

Skills can have user-invocable commands, and we'll now also show a description if available. Easier to see what's that command about.

Scrollbar in the sessions list

In the last released we added a scrollbar to the models list dialog. The same very scrollbar is not also in the sessions list dialog. It's a small addition, but really help navigating the list.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e1cbab14-e3bc-4d91-881a-b50f4caed273

TODO expanded by default

The TODO list will be render expanded by default, unless your terminal height is too short. This is useful to see what's happening as the model works.

Want to toggle it? Just press ctrl+t to open or close it.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/62e7c7ee-41e9-43de-8a41-d926d4bbefbe

ctrl+y to toggle YOLO

Having to open the command palette to enable or disable YOLO can be inconvenint. You can now do that by just pressing ctrl+y.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0b0f5794-72ee-4690-9403-7d7e48609563

That's all for today. Charm :cupid:

Small feats, fixes, Bedrock and more

We have quite a good number of things for a Friday. Let's take a quick look at them!

Scrollbar

The model list now got a scrollbar, so you can see how long the list is and where you are on it. It's a small addition, but nice and useful.

Token usage

Some providers do not report how many tokens were used in a request. In these cases, Crush wasn't showing the token usage or estimated cost in the sidebar.

@taoeffect added token and cost estimation when the provider doesn't report this. Now you'll have an idea on how fast you're burning tokens.

Bedrock

We made some changes to avoid some confusing when using AWS Bedrock.

Before, Crush was using whichever region you had set on AWS_REGION or AWS_DEFAULT_REGION variables. The problem is that most region have few models available, so you could be unable to use them if you had a different region set.

We're always using the us-east-1 region, which have all models available. This should make Crush work out-of-the-box with Bedrock without specific local region configuration.

If you have any feedback on Crush for Bedrock, reach out on our Discord or Slack communities.

Stream fixes

@ethanndickson contributed with two fixes on Fantasy that should fix some errors related to streaming.

Permission prompts

We tightned up permission prompts a bit to improve security, when the model wants to run Bash comments with pipes, redirection, etc. Crush will now always ask for permission in these cases.

Reasoning effort level fix

We fixed a bug to ensure Crush won't ever send a reasoning effort level when the model doesn't supports it. This should fix potential errors for a couple providers.

More client-server

More fixes to the experimental client-server architecture were merged.

You can opt-in to this mode with export CRUSH_CLIENT_SERVER=1.

That's all

There were more small fixes and improvements, but the list above is a good summary.

Enjoy your weekend (and Holiday for Americans) and see you next week! Charm :sparklers:

Alibaba, Better Retries, and Client-Server

We're starting the week with some good stuff. Let's check them out!

New Provider: Alibaba

A new provider is available: Alibaba! Just open the model picker with ctrl+m, search for Alibaba and paste your API key. Alternatively, you can set $ALIBABA_SINGAPORE_API_KEY.

Alibaba has a few regions, but we're starting with the main one: Singapore as the hot new models are available there, like the newer Qwens.

Better Retries

Thanks to @processtrader, Crush is now a bit smarter on retries. Instead of just retrying on specific error codes (400, 500, etc), Crush will now also retry on network errors (in case you're offline for a second, or a DNS query failed, etc).

Hardening Client-Server Mode

Crush has an experimental/client server mode which can be used to extend Crush, operate more effectively with multiple sessions, and connect to remote Crush instances.

We’re using client/server more and more internally, so it's time to harden it. This release fixes some bugs that were blocking us from using it day to day.

If you want to try out client/server mode, Crush has an experimental client-server architecture refactor happening, currently available via:

export CRUSH_CLIENT_SERVER=1

That's it for today. Stay tuned for more soon! Charm :cupid:

It’s Perf Time

This release is all about juicin’ UI perf. We did a ton of work around it, and it should be particularly noticeable with long sessions, long messages, long, open-toggled thinking blocks, mouse selection, scrolling and stuff like that.

We always strive to make the Crush user experience top-notch, so if you notice any places where perf is suffering please let us know!

Have a great weekend, The Charm Team
