Hey there,

This version improves the speed of text rendering. Plus, we have integrated Cerebras, the world's fastest inference provider on the planet, generating 2000 tokens per second on Llama 3.1!

With these new models and changes, Alter feels instant:

### We have 3 others improvements:

Cheers,
