What's New @ Nova

wn@n - February 2026

We don't usually ship this much at once. But here we are.

๐Ÿค– Two New Models

ModelA 9-Pro is here. Built for research, technical work, and extended reasoning. Itโ€™s our most capable model yetโ€”8,000 tokens per 10 hours on Astro, available now via API.

ModelA 9-Pico is the opposite. Ultra-light, ultra-cheap, designed for background tasks youโ€™d never show a user. Autocomplete, summaries, classifications, anything where speed and cost matter more than polish.

ModelA 9-Nano got smarter, too. Updated to Revision 26U1 with adaptive reasoning that kicks in only when needed. Faster when it can be, sharper when it has to be.

โœจ Astro: Smarter, Cleaner, More Useful

Astro 26U2 is live with ModelA 9-Pro access, better mobile UI, and the return of Memory, finally.

Whatโ€™s new:

  • Auto-titling (powered by 9-Pico)
  • Chat exports (Markdown, PDF, JSON)
  • Images now persist in chat history
  • Cleaner, more responsive mobile UI
  • Better animations, faster performance
  • Improved tool reliability and overall stability
  • SEO improvements across Astro surfaces

The full mobile update drops later this month. Weโ€™re bringing back your favorite features without the bloat.

๐Ÿ“ Nova Editor: Forms, Sheets, and More

Nova Editor received one of its biggest updates yet, with major expansions across documents, forms, and spreadsheets.

Spreadsheets are here. Basic functionality for now, formulas, formatting, collaboration coming soon. Spreadsheets Magic brings Astro-powered assistance directly into sheets.

Forms just became a lot more powerful:

Nova Mail is your new inbox. Compile all your email accounts into one Smart Inbox with Magic-powered features. Beautiful, clean UI. Better looking than Gmail or Outlook, most features free, full mobile support. Gmail connection coming soon (waiting on Google verification).

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Nova Marketplace is Live
