What's New in Castaly: Model Pages, Instant Uploads and a Redesigned Console

A new console design, a faster workbench, reference uploads that start as soon as you add a file, and new pages for models. What changed in Castaly by November 3.

Recent updates changed how Castaly looks and how quickly it opens. Here is what is different, covering changes live by November 3, 2026.

A redesigned console

The signed-in console has a new, quieter design. Backgrounds and navigation are now neutral grey, black and white, and colour is kept for your work and for status.

  • Sidebar. On desktop it is a full-height floating card with the logo. Links are grouped into tools, assets, inspiration and rewards, and your account sits at the bottom.
  • Content bar. Each page has its own slim bar with a breadcrumb on the left, and help, notifications, language and theme on the right.
  • Workbench. Two cards side by side. The left holds the video and image switch, model, prompt with references, and settings, with the price and Generate fixed at the bottom. The right has tabs for inspiration, results and history.
  • Phone. Five tabs at the bottom: Workbench, Creations, Library, Community and My.

The public pages, such as the home page and pricing, keep their design.

One result at a time

Each generation in the workbench now stands alone. The canvas shows only the current result, you can open it at full size, and each output has its own actions. On a narrow screen, the page scrolls to the result after you press Generate. Earlier runs stay in history and in Creations.

A faster workbench

  • Less to download. Each page now loads only its own code and your current language. The JavaScript for the workbench fell from 1,363 KB to about 920 KB, or from 394 KB to about 270 KB compressed.
  • No video until you ask. The inspiration wall shows cover images and starts a video only when you hover over it.
  • Preloading. Pointing at a link inside the site starts loading the target page.
  • Skeleton screens. While a console page loads, it keeps its layout and shows placeholders instead of a blank area or a loading message.

Uploads that start right away

Reference files now begin uploading as soon as you add them, one after another, instead of when you press Generate. Each file shows waiting, a real percentage, processing, or a retry button if it failed, so Generate no longer has to wait for a transfer. Library uploads use the same queue and progress display.

New public pages

  • Model pages. Six video models now have their own page, in English and Chinese, with specifications, inputs, real samples with their prompts, a FAQ and the live price: Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, Kling 3.0 Turbo, Wan 3.0 and Wan 3.0 Prime.
  • About. Who runs Castaly, how it relates to Modelflare and Havenbyte LLC, and how to reach us.
  • Blog. Pricing breakdowns, model comparisons and how-to guides, with a new post planned most weekdays.

A new home at castaly.ai

castaly.ai is now Castaly's main address. Sign-in still happens on castaly.modelflare.dev and brings you straight back, signed in. Signing out on either address signs you out on both.

Small things

  • The prompt optimizer button moved to the prompt box's title bar, and the character count now sits inside the box.
  • Community search waits until you stop typing before it searches.
  • With a filter on, Creations keeps loading until it has a full screen of matches or has checked everything.

FAQ

Did prices change with this update?

No. These changes affect the interface and loading speed. Current prices are on the pricing page.

Do I need to do anything for castaly.ai?

No. Sign in as usual. castaly.modelflare.dev continues to work too.

Can I still see my earlier generations?

Yes. The canvas shows the current result, while earlier runs remain in the workbench history and in Creations.
