Kagi Changelog (July 2): Heads, tails, and an AI toggle

> It's finally here! We believe that Kagi's application of AI should always be useful - there when you'd like it, and never when you don't, and always respecting your privacy. It's nice to have choice here when, e.g. Google, has been trending in the opposite direction.

edit: Kagi Translate still works for paying customers. I was completely unaware they'd been giving it away for free. >Kagi News and Kagi Translate have both been successes that took us by surprise. ... >But these unexpected successes led to a massive spike in our costs for applications offered for free. >As a result, we have temporarily removed translations and left access to the articles’ original languages as well as English. Kagi Translate will be back in the coming days as a subscription-based service. Free? I'm a paying customer. Maybe you can't provide unlimited translate access, but I expect some amount of translation access as part of my Kagi subscription.

Interesting to see this and SearXNG on the front page at the same time. The latter replaced the former for me, and I've enjoyed primarily searching through a local model.

Something not mentioned in the changelog that I just noticed: Kagi Assistant now offers Gemma 4 31B hosted at Cerebras. It’s insanely fast and seems to follow instructions quite well as a research assistant.
