Our first month: everything we shipped in October

We launched on October 1, 2026, and by the end of the month our changelog listed 10 releases across the Raven models, the DipoleML API, DCode and the Raven app. This is the record of October in the order things shipped, with the day of each release. Every line comes from the changelog, where each release has its full notes.

What launched on October 1?

• Raven Max and Raven Flash. Our two models went live in the Raven app, in DCode and through the API: Raven Max, our flagship for deep reasoning and long-horizon work, and Raven Flash, built for low latency and high volume. Each reads up to 1M tokens of context.
• The DipoleML API. Generally available, with OpenAI-compatible chat completions, streaming, vision and tool use, paid as you go from prepaid credits at per-model prices: $0.50 per 1M input tokens on Raven Flash and $1.25 on Raven Max.
• Plans. Raven Free at $0, Raven Pro at $20 a month, Raven Ultra at $100 a month and the DCode Coding Plan at $29 a month, with Founding Member annual prices for the first year. How we priced Raven sets out the reasoning.
• DCode 1.0. Our agentic coding environment for Windows and macOS, with native MCP, a codebase graph built before any change, shell execution that repairs its own failures, and Computer Use on Windows. Our DCode 1.0 record has the details.
• A playground. The real models in the browser, to try before writing any code.

What followed in the first week?

• October 2: DCode 1.0.2 and the CLI. The DCode CLI went up on npm, so the terminal install became one command, npm install -g @dipoleml/dcode-cli, and the installers for Windows x64, Windows ARM64 and macOS shipped through our update pipeline.
• October 2 and 3: our published results. We published the benchmark results for Raven Max and Raven Flash, company-reported and evaluated with maximum reasoning effort. Raven Max placed first among the models compared on Terminal Bench 4.0, at 42.8, and Raven Flash first on AutomationBench, at 49.2.
• October 3: Raven and DCode 1.1.0. Shareable chat addresses, shared chats with View only and Collaborate access, and a notification centre in Raven. In DCode, a switch between your plan and prepaid credits, with the API key for credits set up for you, and rebuilt model settings. The DCode CLI reached 1.1.0, with a first-run setup.

What did Raven 1.2.0 add on October 8?

• Memory. Raven keeps lasting facts across conversations, in a list you can add to, edit and remove in Settings. Our story on memory shows how it works.
• Real files. Ask for a file and get a real one: a Word document, a spreadsheet, a presentation or a PDF. Our story on files shows how.
• Live shared chats. Messages reach everyone in a shared chat without a reload, you can see who is reading, and in Discussion a message goes to the people only, not to Raven.
• Finer sharing. A private link stays private, with a button to ask for access, and an invitation by email walks a new person through creating an account.
• Research and links. Deeper research asks first, then shows its progress and a full source list, and a link you paste is read before Raven answers.

What changed on October 17?

Raven 1.2.1 was a correctness and safety release. It added a list of blocked people in Settings: you block someone by username, they are not told, and reports reach people on our compliance team, as our story on blocking and reporting explains. Removed memories now stay removed, an edit always wins over an automatic capture, and fixes to sharing and deletion enforce access on every link and leave no data stranded.

What came with DCode 2.0 on October 29?

Three releases on one day, 2.0.1, 2.0.2 and 2.0.3, made DCode 2.0:

• A crew of up to 24 agents. A large task splits across agents that work in parallel, metered in tokens only, with a dock that shows every agent and the Plan, Work and Review stages.
• Browser Use and Computer Use, on by default. Both are ready on a fresh install. Sites you sign in to stay signed in for 30 days, and you can clear cookies, site data, cache and history by site and by time range.
• A password manager. Passwords are kept on your computer and filled in by the app, never shown to the model, and unlocking uses your account's two-factor authentication.
• Your yes first. Posting, sending, buying and deleting on a website ask first, with a per-site option to stop asking.
• The catalog. Skills, MCP servers and plugins sync from our public catalog, and agents can search it, install what is missing and carry on.
• Four thinking levels. Off, Low, Standard and High, with Standard as the default.
• A new look. A new disc logo and a calmer interface in Light, Dark or System, and the switch between plan and credits now lives in Settings.
• A rebuilt CLI. A workspace that fills the terminal, with streaming Markdown, coloured diffs, a live Crew panel and a status line. Sign in with your account or an API key, and a free account works. It runs on Node.js 22.13 or newer, installs with one line, curl -fsSL https://dipoleml.com/install.sh | sh on macOS and Linux or irm https://dipoleml.com/install.ps1 | iex on Windows, and dcode doctor checks your setup and says what to fix.
• Native installers. Windows x64 and ARM64, and macOS on Apple silicon and Intel.

How did the month end?

• October 30: DCode 2.0.4. Updates arrive in the app again: 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 had been built with in-app updates off, so anyone on 2.0.3 or older installed 2.0.4 once from the download page. Signing in from the CLI now finishes in the terminal, choosing a model in /model works, the 6-hour and weekly limits sit at the top of Usage stats, and five short cards introduce DCode on first launch.
• October 31: DCode 2.0.5. A housekeeping release: the Word, PDF and spreadsheet tools use the fonts already on your computer, text reads consistently in English and French, and everything from 2.0.4 carries over unchanged.
