# 0.17.0 Beta 1

GPT-5, exclude paths in manual context management, and more!

Dyad v0.17.0 Beta 1 adds support for OpenAI's latest GPT-5 models! You can also exclude paths in manual context management.

## Highlights

### GPT-5

OpenAI had a big announcement last Thursday and launched three new models in the GPT-5 family:

- **GPT-5** is the main flagship model that can create beautiful UIs as shown in the video above and has strong coding benchmark scores.
- **GPT-5 Mini** is a cost-effective model which is comparable to Google's Gemini Flash 2.5.
- **GPT-5 Nano** is a very affordable model (note: it does not always produce correctly formatted output).

Dyad Pro members can also access GPT-5 with their AI credits. Note: the thinking content is not shown; however, the outputs (i.e., code) are the same.

### Exclude paths in Manual Context Management

[Manual Context Management](/content/docs/guides/large-apps#manual-context-management/index.html) is an advanced feature that allows you to send only part of your codebase to the AI, which saves on tokens but requires careful file management. It's now a bit easier to manage your context because you can exclude paths (e.g., files, directories) in addition to defining include paths.

If a file matches both an include path and an exclude path, then the exclude path will take precedence and the file will _not_ be sent to the AI.
