Open-source notes app churns out canary builds — most are dep bumps, but i18n breadth and AI model expansion keep landing.

Current state
AFFiNE is shipping near-daily canary builds with a heavy mix of Renovate-driven dependency upgrades and small features. The user-visible signal in the recent window is two i18n expansions (German to 100%, Kazakh added) and a model-roster refresh that brings in Gemini 3.5 Flash and updated Claude Sonnet. The pace is steady; the per-release surface is small.
Where it's heading
AFFiNE is in continuous-shipping mode with a clear thesis: keep the dependency surface fresh and broaden the AI-model menu while pushing localization coverage outward. The lack of larger architectural posts suggests platform work is happening in the background while the public canary stream advances incrementally. Expect the AI BYOK and model-routing surface to keep accreting options.
Prediction
Next visible move is most likely another model-roster update (additional providers or routing logic), plus continued i18n expansion. A larger 0.26 stable release is plausible given the active beta line.
