ICYMI: What We Shipped in April 2026

April was a heavy shipping month for Phaseo. The product became clearer for people comparing models, checking prices, managing access, and following new releases.

This recap covers the work that shipped from 1 April 2026 through 30 April 2026, based on the release history, commit history, and catalog data for the month.

What Shipped

Pricing became easier to inspect

Pricing was one of the biggest April themes. Model pages gained clearer pricing history, pricing labels were refined, missing pricing states were handled more carefully, and discounted provider pricing was corrected.

That work matters because model pricing is rarely simple. The same model can be available through multiple providers, regions, billing tiers, and special routes. A good pricing page should not just show a number; it should help users understand which provider route makes sense for the work they are doing.

April also included fixes for aggregate token billing on multimodal models and safer handling when non-standard billing tiers had rule gaps. Those are edge cases, but they are exactly the kind of edge cases that can make a pricing page feel unreliable if they are left unresolved.

Workspaces replaced older team wording

April included the move from team wording to workspace wording across the product. Settings gained a workspace management system, workspace lists were fixed, and billing and key flows were stabilised around that model.

The wording change matters because "workspace" better describes how people actually use the product. A workspace can be a personal project, a company environment, an experiment, or a shared production setup. It is broader and less opinionated than "team."

This also gave the product a clearer foundation for access controls, account settings, billing, and future collaboration features.

Model pages loaded with less wasted work

Model pages were made faster by reducing the number of separate data requests and by treating fast-changing data differently from slower catalog data. The model calendar also gained release-day drilldowns, and the updates experience got clearer date handling.

This is the kind of work users feel even if they do not know what changed. Pages open faster, the most relevant information appears sooner, and release history is easier to scan.

We also refined model skeleton states, provider cards, carousel rails, and homepage feeds. Taken together, those changes made model discovery feel more polished and less like a database table wearing a UI.

The gateway and SDKs covered more use cases

April added rerank support, stronger model access checks across the API and SDKs, broader API compatibility work, and generated SDK updates for new models.

The important part is alignment. When a model is active in the catalog, the API should know about it, the SDKs should expose it correctly, docs should describe it, and the product should avoid sending users toward routes they cannot use.

April also included SDK and docs cleanup for free-model onboarding, migration guides, model IDs, and API metadata. Those changes reduced the gap between browsing the product and building against it.

Security notices and reliability work shipped alongside features

April included security notice copy, incident-banner updates, signup hardening, cache improvements, CI hardening, release-helper hardening, and fixes for shared preview image URLs.

Security and reliability updates do not need the same tone as feature launches. They need to be clear, factual, and visible enough that users know what happened. April moved that communication into the product and blog surfaces more directly.

Also Shipped

• The announcements hub and homepage announcement surface went live.
• The model calendar gained clearer release-day analysis.
• Provider and app usage metrics were enriched.
• Compare dashboards and benchmark scoring were refreshed.
• Model discovery alerts were split and tightened to reduce duplicate noise.
• Low-balance email wiring and onboarding automation work landed.
• Several CI and dependency updates kept the release process moving.

Shipping Snapshot

The local git history shows 215 commits during April. Many were dependency, CI, and catalog commits, but the product work centred on pricing, workspaces, model pages, API coverage, security messaging, and a large run of model data updates.
