Atlarix 15.17: Calmer Sign-In, and Auto Picks the Right Model for Each Request
Atlarix is an AI coding agent by NorahLabs that plans, edits, runs and reviews code in your own projects, and it asks before it changes a file. This release is about the parts around the work: signing in, running many sessions at once, choosing a model, installing, and picking up a chat on another device.
A calmer sign-in
Sign-in opens your browser, and sometimes the provider takes a moment. Until now you watched a spinner or a blank card. Now Rix walks while you wait, with one line that says what is happening: "Opening GitHub…", "Checking your sign-in…", "Confirming your email…".
You see it on atlarix.dev, in the desktop app, in VS Code and in the Chrome extension side panel. The CLI already had its own walking Rix.
Many sessions, one sign-in
Open several CLI sessions, or start atlarix run jobs next to them, and they share one sign-in. When the sign-in needs a refresh, one session refreshes it and the others read the new one, so a refresh in one window never signs out another.
atlarix run now uses the sign-in from atlarix login directly. If you are not signed in, it tells you to run atlarix login.
Auto and Zenith pick the right model for each request
Atlarix Auto and Atlarix Zenith now pick the right model for each request you send. A quick question goes to a fast model, and a harder task goes to a stronger one. Auto thinks at medium effort and Zenith at high.
The model picker says what each one is for:
- Atlarix Auto: Best for Daily Use.
- Atlarix Zenith: For complex agentic tasks.
Install the CLI with winget
On Windows, install the Atlarix CLI with:
`
winget install AmariahAK.AtlarixCLI
`
When an update is out, a winget install now tells you to run winget upgrade AmariahAK.AtlarixCLI. Other Windows installs get the PowerShell install line. Neither is told to run a command Windows can't use.
Chrome extension chats sync again
Chats in the Atlarix Chrome extension sync to your account again, so you can pick one up on another device. A sync sends only what changed. When a long chat is compacted, the parts it no longer has are removed from your account too, so an old copy never comes back on another device.
The desktop app and the CLI tell you when the update is ready. The docs cover each part in more detail.
Questions
- How does Atlarix Auto choose a model?
- For each request you send, Atlarix Auto and Atlarix Zenith pick the model that fits it. A quick question goes to a fast model and a harder task to a stronger one, decided again for every request.
- How do I install the Atlarix CLI on Windows?
- Run winget install AmariahAK.AtlarixCLI. The PowerShell install line on atlarix.dev/cli works too.
- Why did one Atlarix CLI window sign out another?
- Two sessions could refresh the same sign-in at once, and the second refresh was refused. Now one session refreshes and the others read the new sign-in, so they stay signed in.
