0.12.17 — Dictation fixed — update now

Released 2026-08-19 · full changelog · GitHub releases

Upgrade: pip install -U rapid-mlx · brew upgrade rapid-mlx · or grab the desktop app.

The 0.12.16 release build shipped without the macOS microphone entitlement, so dictation could never be enabled. 0.12.17 fixes it and gates every future release on the sealed signature carrying the key.

Dictation works now — please update. Speech to Text’s “Allow…” button did nothing in 0.12.16: the notarized build lacked the microphone entitlement, so macOS refused the request silently — no prompt, no error. The entitlement now ships in the signed app, and the build pipeline refuses to sign a release without it (#2134, #2135).
Agents see the context window your Mac can actually serve: memory-aware max_model_len on /v1/models, and rapid-mlx models --json for scripts (#2122).
Codex can dispatch MCP tools again over the Responses API (#2130); out-of-range --port fails with an actionable message (#2127); the unknown-model hint drops its drifting alias count (#2128).
