Fleshing out Lexi's RAG (lol) to be more agentic. When this is finished, Lexi will be able to browse the web more effectively, while aggregating important information about your query to return everything to you with an analysis in context. This is basically how OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and other providers handle queries. It's not so much about intrinsic knowledge, but about the effective retrieval and synthesis of that knowledge as it pertains to your question.

This will ultimately make Lexi far more useful especially for more complex prompts.

Lexi v2.0 will be releasing soon, likely today or tomorrow. New model architecture and more parameters. Coming down the pipe. PDF/DOC analysis, code execution (beta), a more polished chat UI.

If you had issues with Lexi refusing innocuous or innocent prompts before, it's because we are using an abliterated model (no guardrails), and in order to make sure we minimize the risk of people being able to do bad shit (generate CSAM, get bomb making instructions, et cetera), I had to manually add refusals back in for the egregious stuff. Unfortunately, I used a hammer rather than a scalpel.

This should be fixed mostly in Lexi v2, although considering the political implications and attack surface, I've leaned a little more towards the "safer" side. I've built a good deal of infrastructure to mitigate the worst issues via defense through depth, but as with most other things, it's a matter of when, not if. We just have to make sure the "when" is very far down the road.

Lexi's new reasoning capabilities will allow her to more effectively categorize your requests and answer them with the appropriate context, rather than wigging out and flying off the handle at something unrelated because she hallucinated certain keywords that trip the alarms.

Overall, this will be a substantial improvement over v1.0, not just in behavior, but in raw capability as well.
