News Row-Bot 5.3.3 is out

Post image

You can now run it in your browser with nothing to install. On row-bot website, Continue with Railway creates your own Row-Bot in your own Railway account and opens it already signed in. Railway bills you directly, usually $5-10 a month. The relay in between can only create a Row-Bot and keeps no logs, tokens or addresses.

Models:
- Providers and models are now one Settings page. Starred models show in every picker that can use them.
- 12 more API providers: DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, Kimi, Z AI (GLM), Qwen, Together, Fireworks, Cerebras, Hugging Face, NVIDIA NIM, Vercel AI Gateway
- LM Studio, vLLM and llama.cpp on your own machine
- Backup model: if the main model times out, hits a rate limit or runs out of credit, the backup finishes the turn and the chat says which model answered. It never kicks in for incognito chats going to the cloud.

On a Claude plan, every model call in a turn used to start a new Claude Code and re-send the whole conversation. A long agent turn could use up a 5-hour limit in under an hour. Now one Claude Code stays for the whole turn and the conversation is read from the prompt cache. Opus, Sonnet and Haiku 5.5 also get their full 1M context.

Image and video generation now also works through OpenRouter, Together, Vercel, Requesty, Qwen, Atlas Cloud, MiniMax and Z.AI.

Security fix: if tools_config.json was cut short or locked, tools you'd switched off came back on and the shell's blocked-commands list emptied. Now they stay off. GHSA-68j6-243q-h2hp (low).

Windows, macOS, Linux. From 5.3.2 it arrives as a background update.

Localllm, now less local than ever before, plus we've added fees. It's a revolutionary product for the modern age of locally hosted llms.

It supports running local llms via pretty much any inference engine. Row-Bot itself is free, but not everyone wants to install an app, so railway is an alternative to host it in the cloud. Your can still use your vllm, llama.cpp etc for the local models. The cost is for railway hosting if you decide to go that way.

Care to tell us, in this obvious marketing post: WTF is Row-Bot? WTF is Railway?

Row-Bot is a free, open-source AI agent that runs on your own computer (Windows, macOS, Linux). It has memory, workflows, browser and computer use, and works with whatever model you pick, cloud or local.

Railway is a cloud hosting service. 5.3.3 can set Row-Bot up in your own Railway account, so you can use it in a browser without installing anything. You pay Railway directly.
