0.57.0 (2025-08-08)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• CLI command renamed from cortex to brainy
• Neural Import renamed to Cortex augmentation

Changed

• CLI: Renamed from cortex to brainy for better package alignment

  • Now use brainy chat instead of cortex chat
  • npx @soulcraft/brainy now works automatically
  • Better alignment with package name

• Cortex Augmentation: Renamed from Neural Import

  • Better conceptual clarity: Cortex = AI intelligence layer
  • Class renamed: CortexSenseAugmentation (was NeuralImportSenseAugmentation)
  • Augmentation name: cortex-sense (was neural-import-sense)
  • The cortex is where thinking happens - perfect metaphor for AI processing

Migration Guide

CLI Commands

# Old
cortex chat "What's in my data?"
cortex neural import data.csv

# New  
brainy chat "What's in my data?"
brainy import data.csv --cortex

Code Changes

// Old
import { NeuralImportSenseAugmentation } from '@soulcraft/brainy'

// New
import { CortexSenseAugmentation } from '@soulcraft/brainy'

Why These Changes?

1. CLI Alignment: brainy command matches the package name @soulcraft/brainy
2. Better Metaphor: Cortex (brain's processing layer) better represents AI intelligence than generic "neural"
3. Clearer Architecture: CLI = brainy, AI = Cortex, Database = BrainyData

0.47.0 (2025-08-06)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• Complete migration from TensorFlow.js to Transformers.js for embedding generation

This is a major architectural change that replaces TensorFlow.js (USE model) with Transformers.js (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) for significantly improved performance and reduced complexity.

Key Changes:

• Replace TensorFlow.js Universal Sentence Encoder with Transformers.js all-MiniLM-L6-v2
• Reduce model size from 525MB to 87MB (83% reduction)
• Reduce embedding dimensions from 512 to 384 (faster distance calculations)
• Remove TensorFlow.js Float32Array patching (caused ONNX conflicts)
• Implement smart bundled model detection for offline operation
• Add explicit model download script for Docker deployments
• Remove complex environment variables in favor of simple configuration
• Update all distance functions to use optimized pure JavaScript
• Remove TensorFlow-specific utilities and type definitions

Performance Improvements:

• Model loading: 5x faster (87MB vs 525MB)
• Memory usage: 75% reduction (~200-400MB vs ~1.5GB)
• Distance calculations: Faster pure JS vs GPU overhead for small vectors
• Cold start performance: Significantly improved

Files Changed:

• Updated package.json: New dependencies, simplified scripts
• Rewrote src/utils/embedding.ts: Complete Transformers.js implementation
• Updated src/utils/distance.ts: Optimized JavaScript distance functions
• Simplified src/setup.ts: Removed TensorFlow-specific patching
• Simplified src/utils/textEncoding.ts: Only Node.js TextEncoder/Decoder patches
• Deleted src/utils/robustModelLoader.ts: TensorFlow-specific loader
• Deleted src/types/tensorflowTypes.ts: TensorFlow type definitions
• Added scripts/download-models.cjs: Docker-compatible model downloader
• Added comprehensive documentation: README.md, OFFLINE_MODELS.md, analysis docs

Testing:

• All 19 tests passing
• Removed test mocking in favor of real implementation testing
• Updated test environment for Transformers.js compatibility
• Performance tests validate improved efficiency

This migration resolves production issues with Docker egress limitations and provides a more robust, performant foundation for vector operations.
