This change updates Kilo’s provider transformation so Deepseek model variants are mapped correctly in `/variants`, exposing only the supported thinking levels (`high`, `max`) with no-think represented as an explicit option instead of ambiguous defaults.
What ChangedThis change updates Kilo’s provider transformation so Deepseek model variants are mapped correctly in `/variants`, exposing only the supported thinking levels (`high`, `max`) with no-think represented as an explicit option instead of ambiguous defaults.
Why It MattersIntegrators and users selecting Deepseek models through Kilo will now see the right mode choices in variant listings, so they can reliably run normal-thinking or no-thinking workflows without sending unsupported settings and causing unexpected behavior. The transform now pins Deepseek to `high`/`max` (with no-think opt-in) instead of broader/incorrect variant signaling, so watch for provider-side Deepseek responses changing level names or defaults in future releases, because that could reintroduce wrong `/variants` values.

This PR adds a new QuickSilver Pro provider page under `aider/website/docs/llms/`, following the existing provider-doc template. It provides concrete setup for OpenAI-compatible integration to QuickSilver Pro models and documents a claimed ~20% lower price versus OpenRouter on shared models, with `usage.cost` reported in responses.

Why It MattersAider users can now try QuickSilver Pro through the same setup flow they already use, which can lower inference spend (about 20% on overlapping models) without forcing tooling changes, so teams can reduce cost quickly; teams should verify cost/availability stability before routing important workloads. The update also indicates QuickSilver returns `usage.cost` per response, so Aider’s session cost display can work without extra config, but operator teams should monitor any API compatibility or model-coverage changes that could affect throughput, latency, or billing predictability.

LibreChat PR #13187 performs a version bump of the @librechat/agents dependency to v3.1.88, with no additional functional changes described in this signal.
What ChangedLibreChat PR #13187 performs a version bump of the @librechat/agents dependency to v3.1.88, with no additional functional changes described in this signal.
Why It MattersDevelopers and operators deploying this branch may see more predictable behavior in AI-agent integrations because the project now pulls a newer @librechat/agents runtime, but they should monitor custom workflows for behavior changes before promoting broadly; verify tool-calling, plugin compatibility, and production telemetry for any regressions after upgrade.

AllenAI announced OLMoEarth v1.1 as a new model-family release focused on efficiency, indicating a shift to lighter/leaner variants compared with the previous OLMoEarth lineup.
What ChangedAllenAI announced OLMoEarth v1.1 as a new model-family release focused on efficiency, indicating a shift to lighter/leaner variants compared with the previous OLMoEarth lineup.
Why It MattersTeams deploying OLMoEarth can potentially lower inference cost or fit larger workloads because the v1.1 family is positioned as more efficient than prior versions, so operators may get better utilization on fixed hardware; this should be watched for real-task accuracy and latency trade-offs and for migration risk when moving existing fine-tuned checkpoints onto v1.1.

AllenAI announced OLMoEarth v1.1 as a new model-family release focused on efficiency, indicating a shift to lighter/leaner variants compared with the previous OLMoEarth lineup.
ContributionIntroduced OLMoEarth v1.1 as the primary model update, with an explicit emphasis on delivering an efficiency-oriented family variant of the model.

This change updates Kilo’s provider transformation so Deepseek model variants are mapped correctly in `/variants`, exposing only the supported thinking levels (`high`, `max`) with no-think represented as an explicit option instead of ambiguous defaults.
ContributionIt corrects a concrete capability mismatch by changing Deepseek variant metadata generation: only officially supported thinking levels are emitted and no-think is surfaced as an opt-in mode, which aligns runtime variant configuration with model behavior.
ImpactIntegrators and users selecting Deepseek models through Kilo will now see the right mode choices in variant listings, so they can reliably run normal-thinking or no-thinking workflows without sending unsupported settings and causing unexpected behavior. The transform now pins Deepseek to `high`/`max` (with no-think opt-in) instead of broader/incorrect variant signaling, so watch for provider-side Deepseek responses changing level names or defaults in future releases, because that could reintroduce wrong `/variants` values.

ContributionIntroduces documented, first-class onboarding instructions for QuickSilver Pro as an additional LLM provider in Aider, including endpoint/key configuration and model usage, enabling users to switch providers with minimal workflow changes.
