The Agent model picker now includes reasoning, letting you choose how much thinking a model does before it starts building. Light reasoning is ideal for quick edits and refinements, while higher reasoning gives Agents more room to plan. We’re also adding Fast mode for models that support it, like Opus 5, for noticeably quicker generations and responses. Fast mode uses more tokens per task. Combined, reasoning and fast mode give you more control of Agents in Framer.

Introducing Video Shaders. Shaders in Framer can now accept both images and video, which we’ve grouped under Media in the Insert panel. We’re first updating the Chromatic Aberration shader with video support and all-new controls. Videos even play in realtime as you’re editing properties. With our new properties, you can add glass-like curvature and dispersion to your videos and images with a few clicks. High-fidelity effects, web-ready, published in seconds.

Plugins 4.1 brings two of our most requested capabilities to plugins: Branching and Publishing. Together, they unlock new plugin workflows, from experimenting on a branch to shipping your site. We’ve also rebuilt our API docs with search, improved content, and better linking. For the complete technical rundown, read the changelog. Find an overview of what’s new below.

If you haven’t tried Agents in a while, the July Update is a good reason to come back. They’re now more capable and reliable, with support for Page Effects, A11Y attributes, richer Overlays, CMS video, Text Shadows, draggable interactions, and more. We’ve also improved how Agents handle longer conversations, Code changes, summaries, and Variables. And to help you give them another try, two of our fastest models are 50% off through August 14. GPT 5.6 Terra balances speed and quality, while Luna is built for speed. See the full changelog below.
