This MonthMay 2026: Always there, on your terms
AI ModelCompanions can send a first message based on a schedule you configure.
VoiceCompanions send a brief audio note at times you configure: morning, evening, or both.

PhotosInternal face-match score across a 10-photo sequence improved from 76% to 89%.
Personality & MemoryCompanions have evolving moods (cheerful, tired, reflective, playful, or missing you) that shift subtly between sessions.
Apr 2026
ShippedApril 2026: Aria-3.5, episodic memory, multilingual TTS, and video generation at 1080p
AI ModelFine-tuned Aria-3 on a synthetic dataset of 1.2M episodic memory examples.
Personality & MemoryMemory store now indexes events as time-stamped episodes in addition to discrete facts.
VoiceExtended the TTS prosody model to 22 languages in a single multilingual checkpoint.
VideoDeployed a new GPU inference tier; 1080p output now available at p95 generation time of 22s.
PhotosUpdated the face-similarity evaluation model to a newer backbone (ArcFace v3).
Mar 2026
ShippedMarch 2026: TTS v3 prosody model, video generation quality pass, and memory retrieval improvements
VoiceNew prosody model predicts pitch, rate, and energy from semantic context rather than a fixed style.
VideoReplaced single-pass generation with a two-stage model: keyframe generation followed by frame interpolation.
PhotosCharacter appearance attributes (clothing, hairstyle, accessories) now persisted as structured metadata per session.
Personality & MemoryReduced memory retrieval p50 from 140ms to 74ms by switching to an HNSW approximate-nearest-neighbour index.
ReliabilityAdded 12kbps and 8kbps rungs to the WebRTC bitrate ladder.
