From the README
- Context Usage: Inspect dialogue, retained tool traffic, Agent instructions, cache, cost, and runway pressure without double-counting category subsets.
- Unified attachments: Upload once and let LibreChat route content to the model or extracted text, then provision File Search and Code tools only when needed.
- Models: Added GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol, with Responses API routing and tool-call support.
