+## 🎉 March 14, 2026 - Update 2.6.0
+
+IntenseRP Next v2.6.0 is out, and the big headline is **Google AI Studio support**. It already includes streaming, Google login handling, model switching, and sampling controls, but it is still a bit beta-ish for now, so please poke it gently and let me know if something feels off.
+
+This update also brings some nice extra polish: Moonshot now gets RP-friendly auto-adjustments just like Qwen, the Settings window loads much faster, mini help buttons were added around settings, the console got its own search, and there is a new v1-style multiline XML-like formatting preset too.
