Dyad0.17.0 Beta 1
GPT-5, exclude paths in manual context management, and more!
Dyad v0.17.0 Beta 1 adds support for OpenAI's latest GPT-5 models! You can also exclude paths in manual context management.
Highlights
GPT-5
OpenAI had a big announcement last Thursday and launched three new models in the GPT-5 family:
- GPT-5 is the main flagship model that can create beautiful UIs as shown in the video above and has strong coding benchmark scores.
- GPT-5 Mini is a cost-effective model which is comparable to Google's Gemini Flash 2.5.
- GPT-5 Nano is a very affordable model (note: it does not always produce correctly formatted output).
Dyad Pro members can also access GPT-5 with their AI credits. Note: the thinking content is not shown; however, the outputs (i.e., code) are the same.
Exclude paths in Manual Context Management
Manual Context Management is an advanced feature that allows you to send only part of your codebase to the AI, which saves on tokens but requires careful file management. It's now a bit easier to manage your context because you can exclude paths (e.g., files, directories) in addition to defining include paths.
If a file matches both an include path and an exclude path, then the exclude path will take precedence and the file will not be sent to the AI.
