Atlarix 15.16 fixes bug inflating chat context with single image

Atlarix 15.16 has been updated to address a bug where a single image could inflate the chat context to over 800,000 tokens. This occurred because the saved chat text included the full image data as Base64, which was incorrectly tokenized by the context estimator. The issue has been resolved by saving only a small preview of the image and counting it as a single token, while the model still receives the full image data. Additionally, a separate bug causing the image card to display "Done" prematurely has been fixed, ensuring the image appears correctly after a reload. AI

IMPACT Fixes a bug that could lead to incorrect billing for users interacting with image generation tools in AI chats.

    One Image Made a Chat Look 800K Tokens Long

    <p>While testing Atlarix 15.16, we asked the new image tool for one picture. The next message made the chat's context meter jump from about 9,000 tokens to 826,000. Nothing had grown that much: the model itself was still receiving 11,000 to 15,000 tokens a turn. This is how one i…
