ranade-oss makes jurisdiction and model choice stick
This fork tackles two familiar sources of legal-AI friction: losing matter context and working from an outdated model menu.
A lawyer's chosen jurisdiction now persists within the relevant project as they move from an initial question into a live conversation. It also stays in sync across browser tabs, while keeping separate matters separate. The current choices cover Ontario, Canada and the US.
The team has also replaced a fixed catalogue of AI models with live discovery from supported providers.
- Each provider's available models are refreshed from that provider, with checks for whether a model can actually generate a response.
- New provider models can appear without someone manually updating a static list.
That is a practical improvement, though the live provider connections deserve a real-world smoke test before anyone relies on them in production.
So what Legal teams running work across matters or evaluating several AI providers will want to see whether this makes model selection less brittle.
