More Reliable Academic Searches

More Reliable Academic Searches

Research agents now handle academic database searches more reliably when they request lighter paper results during citation-heavy chats.

Improvements

  • Keep Google Scholar and other academic database searches from failing when an agent intentionally skips abstracts
  • Reduce interruptions from mobile stream-resume network drops while preserving normal retry behavior
  • Refresh app and API dependencies for the latest chat runtime compatibility fixes

More Reliable Fast Chat Fallbacks

More Reliable Fast Chat Fallbacks

Fast research chats now recover more reliably when a very large request needs to move through backup AI models.

Improvements

  • Keep long academic chats from failing when fallback reaches Claude Haiku
  • Preserve model reasoning support with provider-compatible settings for each backup model
  • Refresh app, API, website, and workspace dependencies for the latest compatibility fixes

Agent Library and Smoother Chat

Agent Library and Smoother Chat

ChatAcademia now makes it easier to find the right research agent and keeps long, tool-heavy chats feeling smoother while responses stream.

Improvements

  • Add an all-agents page with compact cards, translated descriptions, and search across agent names and descriptions
  • Keep the sidebar focused on the most relevant agents while offering a lighter See all agents action
  • Refresh agent landing pages, storage integration icons, and localized page labels across the app
  • Smooth streamed chat responses and reduce unnecessary project-panel rerenders during tool-heavy conversations
  • Route Fast chats through Gemini Flash with updated fallback and parallel tool-call settings

Claude Sonnet 5 for Pro Chats

Claude Sonnet 5 for Pro Chats

ChatAcademia Pro now uses Claude Sonnet 5 for stronger academic reasoning, tool use, and long-context research workflows.

Improvements

  • Route Pro chats through Claude Sonnet 5 while keeping the existing Fast and Max tiers available
  • Keep Pro chats resilient with Gemini and OpenAI fallbacks when an upstream model is temporarily unavailable
  • Update credit estimates and provider settings to match current Sonnet pricing and adaptive thinking

More Reliable Restricted-Browser Sessions

More Reliable Restricted-Browser Sessions

ChatAcademia now handles browsers that block local storage more gracefully, keeping chat sessions stable when privacy settings are strict.

Improvements

  • Fall back safely when a browser allows storage reads but blocks saved preference writes
  • Keep analytics setup from interrupting chat pages in privacy-restricted Firefox sessions
  • Refresh supporting app, API, website, and editor dependencies
