A familiar desktop, smarter chat controls, and more ways to sign in

Empryo 3.8.2-beta, released Sep 15, 2026. Part of the 3.8 line.

Release notes

Desktop

  • Get back to work faster. Workspace, chat, and context controls return to a familiar layout.
  • Review changes in one place. The Changes workspace combines working-tree changes and review.
  • Leave safely. Unsaved editors now offer Save, Discard, or Stay.
  • Put previews where they help. Reposition file previews with keyboard, touch, and right-to-left controls.
  • Make the workspace yours. Backgrounds fit the available space, and framing controls keep the important part visible.

Chat

  • Keep Queue and Steer separate. Queue holds a follow-up turn. Steer sends a correction to the current turn.
  • Recover anything you did not send. Stop returns queued prompts, steering, and attachments to the draft.
  • Keep your place while replies stream. Scrolling no longer jumps when the composer changes height.
  • Open tabs with useful names. Automatic names now use the subject of your prompt.

Providers

  • Sign in to OpenRouter and see your balance. Use /login openrouter and track credits in /usage or the desktop Usage drawer.
  • Connect eight more providers. Added Z.AI Coding Plan, Zhipu Coding Plan, Alibaba Coding Plan, Alibaba Token Plan, Xiaomi MiMo, Kilo Gateway, SiliconFlow, and Synthetic.
  • Trust the model picker. Model lists, context limits, and published prices update from the live catalog.
  • Choose what the picker shows. Keep favorites, revisit recent models, and hide models you do not use.
  • Understand your usage. Meters show requests, credits, tokens, or dollars, with overage estimates separate.

Languages

  • Use Korean or Russian. Arabic and French translations now cover the desktop app and TUI.
  • Read Arabic right to left. Navigation, mixed-language text, dates, counts, and plurals follow the selected language.

Recovery

  • Recover after a crash. The Storage drawer lists checkpoints by session and tab and lets you reclaim old ones.
  • Retry failed pages without losing your workspace.
  • Keep long sessions stable. Finished background work shuts down cleanly.

Fixes

  • Long turns now compact before overflow. Empryo reports compaction in the conversation.
  • Browser previews keep local files in bounds. Access stays limited to the workspace and folders you open.
  • Linux updates switch over safely. The installed version stays in place until its replacement is ready.
