We just shipped v1.5.5 of Locally Uncensored — the open-source, local-first AI desktop app for Chat + Image Generation + Video Generation. No cloud, no censorship, no tracking.
Here's what's new.
Zero-Config Model Experience
The biggest pain point with local AI? Configuration. Which sampler, how many steps, what CFG scale?
Gone. LU now auto-detects your model type and applies optimal defaults. Select a model, hit generate. That's it.
On top of that, a pre-flight validation checks if you have the right VAE, CLIP encoder, and custom nodes before generation starts. Missing something? Direct download buttons right in the error message.
VRAM-Based Recommendations
LU reads your GPU VRAM via ComfyUI and tags every model bundle:
- ✅ Fits your GPU — runs comfortably
- ⚠️ Needs more VRAM — might struggle
Bundles are sorted by fit. No more guessing if your 8GB card can handle FLUX.
2026 State-of-the-Art Models
Updated model bundles with the latest:
- FLUX 2 Klein 4B (8 GB) — fast image gen on consumer GPUs
- LTX Video 2.3 22B FP8 (35 GB) — high-quality video generation
- Curated text models: GLM 4.6, Qwen 3 front and center
Every bundle includes Model + VAE + Text Encoders — complete packages, one-click download.
Download Manager
Pause, cancel, resume. HTTP Range headers for proper resumable downloads. No more restarting 20GB downloads because your connection dropped.
RAG Document Chat — Fixed
v1.5.0 introduced RAG but it had issues. All fixed:
- IndexedDB persistence — embeddings survive page reload
- React 19 compat — no more infinite loops
- ErrorBoundary — errors show a message, not a white page
Desktop App — Production Ready
The Tauri v2 standalone .exe got a major overhaul:
- Splash screen with logo while React loads
- CORS proxy through Rust (no more blocked requests)
- Whisper loads in background (fast startup)
- Terminal windows hidden, DevTools only in debug
Bug Fixes
10+ fixes including CLIP/VAE model fallback, BM25 search scoring, agent image generation actually calling ComfyUI, Whisper detection, and chat history filtering.
