## What's New:

### Claude Sonnet 5 Joins the Model Lineup

Claude Sonnet 5 — including its extended-thinking variant — is now selectable across Taskade's AI model pickers. Agents or automations pinned to a specific model are unchanged.

***

### Embed Your Agent Anywhere — Snippet Builder

The agent **Share** panel now includes an embed snippet builder. Copy a ready-made code snippet to embed your public agent as a chat widget on any external site, and customize the **launcher icon** and background that visitors see. See [Publishing & Sharing](/community-and-sharing/community-and-sharing.md).

***

### Smarter Automation Variable Picker

When you're configuring a step in the flow editor, the variable picker now pre-loads the expected outputs of every preceding step — so you can reference upstream data before those steps have ever run.

***

## Improvements & Fixes:

* Taskade Genesis app generation UI: refreshed theme bar, loaders, and publish menu.
* General stability, performance, and connector reliability improvements.
