v1.9.0: GPU indexing and host binding

In one minute

Hugging Face released funes v1.9.0 on October 14, 2026.

What changed: Funes v1.9.0 announces GPU indexing and host binding; none of the archive documents covers this release.

The release adds GPU-based embedding during funes index on macOS 15 or later, using Metal. If a GPU does not start, indexing falls back to the CPU. Recall queries remain CPU-based.

The release also adds host binding. funes bind <memory> associates the current host with a memory, so installed agents on that host recall from and publish to it. funes bind local removes the binding. funes add <agent> <memory> binds the host first, while a bare funes add <agent> installs an agent on the host's memory.

For reads without a memory named on the CLI or in a tool call, funes uses the bound memory and the host's unpushed turns. A read that names a memory uses that memory as it stands. The notes say upgrades from 1.8.x need no reindex; funes update selects the prior shared memory when all agents used one, otherwise the user must choose with funes bind <memory>.

The source does not provide benchmark results, supported GPU models, or evidence of indexing-speed or recall-quality changes.
