Paradigm “Uniq Urchin”: AI That Reasons, Structures, and Secures Your Data

The “Uniq Urchin” release of Paradigm is here. More than a simple update, it represents a shift in philosophy : we are moving from an AI that “generates” answers to one that truly reasons over complex documents, while strengthening the security and synchronization foundations required by large organizations.

Here are the four key pillars of this release that transform the way you work with your data.

1. Reasoning Mode: When AI Takes the Time to Think

This is the flagship innovation of the Chatflow V2 interface. Until now, language models tended to answer on the fly, sometimes leading to approximations when dealing with complex or highly specialized topics.

With the new Reasoning Mode, we introduce an AI capable of breaking down complex problems. It no longer simply predicts the next word, it plans its response.

Adaptive Clarification: The End of Hallucinations
At the core of this mode lies a novel form of cognitive safety: Adaptive Clarification. When the model detects ambiguity or missing critical information, it does not guess. Instead, it pauses, reflects (Self-Reflection), and asks a clarifying question to better understand the context.

2. Alfred-Ft5 & Snowflake Arctic: A Stronger Brain, a More Precise Memory

To power this advanced reasoning, we have integrated two state-of-the-art engines:

• The Brain (Alfred-Ft5): Our latest Vision Language Model (VLM). It excels at raw understanding, advanced logical reasoning, and tool usage. It enables the processing of complex documents with surgical precision.
  
  
• The Memory (Snowflake Arctic L v2): An AI is only as relevant as its ability to retrieve the right information, By integrating this new text embedding model, we dramatically improve retrieval performance. The context provided to the AI is more relevant, reducing noise and increasing the quality of answers grounded in your internal knowledge.
  

3. Doc Finder: Intelligent, Large-Scale Document Search

Access to information is no longer limited to chat. With Uniq Urchin, we are transforming how you explore your knowledge base through Doc Finder.

• Massive Semantic Search: Through our new API endpoints, you can now run broad queries such as “Show me all documents related to thermal regulation in Project X.” The system doesn’t just search for keywords, it understands the topic and surfaces the entire relevant document corpus.
  
  
• Tag-Based Filtering: For knowledge managers, the interface allows documents to be filtered by tags, greatly simplifying data source organization and curation.
  

4. Governance and Synchronization: Enterprise-Scale Control

Because Paradigm integrates into complex ecosystems (SharePoint, DMS), we have strengthened synchronization capabilities and access-rights management.

• New “Team Owner” Role: To streamline administration without giving full control to everyone, this role allows delegated management of a specific team (member additions, access management) without compromising overall instance security.
  
  
• Automated Access Rights (API): A major advancement for IT departments. Thanks to new endpoints, you can now automate the replication of access rights from your DMS into Paradigm. If a user loses access to a confidential folder in SharePoint, Paradigm can automatically enforce the same restriction. Your data security remains perfectly synchronized, without manual effort.
  

The Uniq Urchin release is available now. It reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering AI that is not only powerful, but also reliable, controllable, and seamlessly integrated into real-world enterprise workflows.
