Good morning, I'm your host with Frigate NVR Updates for May 17th through 24th, 2026. Twenty PRs merged and 30 additional commits this week.
**Major Features**
The biggest development was a comprehensive GenAI platform overhaul. Nicolas Mowen delivered a complete refactor, restructuring the AI chat system with a new plugin architecture. This was immediately followed by dynamic thinking model support, allowing users to toggle AI reasoning modes on demand across OpenAI,…
Josh Hawkins expanded UI configuration capabilities, adding object attributes to filter lists and improving the go2rtc streams settings interface. The system now provides better visual feedback for complex camera configurations.
**Infrastructure & Security**
Several critical fixes landed for system reliability. Hawkins addressed a significant nginx proxy cache vulnerability that could leak admin responses to non-admin users - a one-line fix with major security implications.
