Shinkai Weekly Recap (Dec 8-12)

This week at Shinkai, we continued expanding local execution and shipping practical tools that give builders more control over their workflows.

Here’s what shipped.

🧠 Local Mistral in Shinkai Web

We added Local Mistral support in Shinkai Web, allowing users to run Mistral locally while interacting through the Web interface.
This enables:

  • Full local execution
  • Improved privacy and control

Local models, without sacrificing usability.

🐍 Python Executor Tool

We also released the Python Executor, a new tool that lets agents run Python code directly inside Shinkai.
This unlocks:

  • Data processing and transformations
  • Custom automation logic
  • More advanced agent workflows

All executed locally, without external dependencies.

🖼️ Z Image Generator for Shinkai App

The Z Image Generator enables fast image generation from text prompts using the Z-Image model via the kie.ai API.

It’s designed for lightweight experimentation and simple visual workflows inside Shinkai.

📦 IPFS File Downloader for Shinkai App

We shipped the IPFS File Downloader, a utility for downloading files from IPFS networks using public gateways, with configurable size limits and extension filtering.

A practical addition for decentralized storage workflows.

Looking Ahead

We’ll continue expanding local execution, improving agent capabilities, and shipping new tools every week.

More updates coming soon 👀
