5.0 is the foundation. The list below is what we're working on next — six items already in active development for 5.1, plus a handful of horizon items for 5.2 and later. Honest scope, no commit dates: we ship when the surface is right, not on a calendar. The known issues page tracks 5.0-line rough edges separately. For a deeper architecture read of the four 5.1 pieces — what gets faster, smarter, more resilient — see the 5.1 architecture preview.
Tenant admins compose their own roles — "Auditor", "Lab tech", "Finance", "Read-only auditor with audit-export only" — from the underlying capability set. 5.0 ships four built-in roles; 5.1 adds the composition layer with a UI editor and a versioned role catalogue per tenant.
Always-on real-time replication between regional clusters with the WLCG tier model. 5.0 ships lightweight federation via the bundle format; 5.1's Layer B adds the steady-state replication path so two regional clusters stay in sync without an explicit export step.
The experimental self-improvement module graduates from research-grade to a documented optional kernel. Sandboxed, off by default, kill-switch on every path. Customers who want it can run it; the platform's behaviour without it is unchanged.
The Modern Hopfield Compressed retrieval format ships at full precision in 5.0. 5.1 adds the int8-quantized variant — smaller .emm files on edge nodes, faster retrieval on CPU-only deployments, same dual-tier recall semantics.
The Level-1 native xLSTM backend (JAX-XLA + IREE) compiles cleanly in 5.0 with the build flag disabled. 5.1 wires it through as the default backend on Apple Silicon, with the IREE-link integration completed. Faster on-device inference for the structured-ML workloads.
5.0 ships five themes (Frost + four others) with cluster sync. 5.1 opens the palette editor — colour wheel, font picker, accent overrides — so each tenant brands the chat shell in its own house style. Multi-tenant cluster-sync semantics carry over.
Scoped, not yet sequenced. Cards become 5.x release candidates when the design is concrete and the work is in flight; until then this is the honest framing.
Container architecture with dynamic expert routing across the cluster. 5.0 ships ENRN v5–v7 plus the v18-GQA distilled router. v8 is the structural evolution: experts as first-class entities the platform schedules.
Cross-tier learning across the memory subsystem — matrix memory + vector RAG + ENRN classifiers as one coordinated learning surface rather than three independent stores. Deeper integration between the workers.
5.0 ships the dream engine; 5.2 adds the cluster-wide cadence orchestrator that schedules dream cycles across knowledge bases without manual triggering.
5.0 ships the rolling-update orchestrator. The next step is automated rollback on health-check failure mid-roll — drain, install previous version, verify, resume.
5.0 ships local-destination snapshots. Offsite copy automation (S3 / Azure Blob / on-prem object store) lands in a later 5.x.
The Apple platform codebase is positioned to add a visionOS build. No timeline commitment; it ships when there's a clear user story and we've sat with the device for long enough to know what the chat shell actually wants to look like.
We don't put a quarter or a month next to roadmap items. Software dates push back; published dates create pressure to ship before the surface is right. We'd rather tell you the truth on the day a feature actually ships than apologise quarterly for slippage.
What we will tell you: which items are in flight (the cards above), which are scoped but not yet started (the horizon section), and where to follow along — GitHub for the public commits, what's new for shipped highlights, release notes for the formal cut.
This roadmap moves on customer signal. If something you need isn't on the cards or the horizon, write to office@eldric.ai. Paid-tier customers: support@eldric.ai with your license ID — your feature requests carry weight in scheduling.
For 5.0-line rough edges or bugs: known issues tracks the current state; the support channels above for anything not on the list.
