Share Kagi with the World ๐ŸŒ

With this release, we're excited to introduce changes that allows you to share all your searches and Assistant threads with everyone.

You can now easily share image, video, news, and podcast searches by clicking the share icon.

Additionally, any Assistant threads you share will be publicly accessible to others!

Video search, leveled up

Weโ€™ve refined our ranking system to bring you sharper, more relevant results. We think this sets a new standard โ€” try it and let us know what you think.

Plus, you can now see detailed channel statistics such as subscriber count, creation date, and total videos, right in your search results.

Pro tip: to avoid clickbait, you can customise your experience by selecting a random screenshot as the thumbnail or modifying video titles in your search settings.

Assistant

We're working on exciting updates to the Assistant experience! The model picker is now located in the top menu bar, making it easier to select a model for your next action. Plus, we've added two new models for you to explore: Deepseek R1 and Deepseek v3, both using a privacy respecting provider (see our LLM privacy guide).

  • Upgrading claude haiku 3 to haiku 3.5 in assisant. #5374 @JJ
  • Consider adding Deepseek v3 for Assistant #5798 @Nashwan
  • When using Assistant to generate code, it is outputting encoded entities #5169 @beetstabasco
  • Assistant fails to generate a relevant title with longer inputs #5880 @coreyward
  • Make the 'internet' option in the url for Assistant accept both true/false and on/off #5885 @CrunchyFritos
  • Desktop Kagi Assistant PWA: Opens External Links in the PWA Instead of the Default Browser #5749 @mackid1993

Improvements and bug fixes

Kagi Translate

  • Translations now sync scrolling between original and translated pages for smoother navigation
  • We've implemented several changes to enhance translation speed, accuracy, and quality while reducing latency
  • Unable to scroll when showing original translation #5964 @Temanor

I don't often search for videos but I did attempt it recently and it was already better YT did by itself. Perhaps that was mostly because it didn't attempt to shove extremely irrelevant shorts down my throat though but that's already feature enough tbh.

I guess they're spending so much time on the share feature because it's basically free marketing.

Unfortunately though it seems there's a bug since this update where changing a search doesn't actually apply it most of the time when you hit enter or click the button.
