fx v0.0.15 cuts memory, boosts speed
fx v0.0.15 reduces long-conversation memory usage by roughly 70%, resumes sessions about 18% faster, and adds live model-catalog updates plus `/fork` branching. The open-source native coding agent also handles substantially longer image-heavy conversations in WebAssembly.
This is a quietly important performance release: for terminal agents, lower memory pressure and faster recovery matter more than flashy surface features.
- –A synthetic benchmark with 96 MiB of saved images measured 69.5% lower peak memory and 3.3× faster turn completion versus v0.0.14.
- –Model-catalog refreshes without restarting reduce friction when switching models or providers.
- –`/fork` makes experimentation safer by letting developers branch from earlier prompts instead of disrupting a working session.
- –WebAssembly completed 140 image-heavy turns where the previous implementation ran out of memory at turn 102.
- –The release strengthens fx’s positioning as a lightweight, embeddable alternative to heavier coding-agent environments.
