+  ## Weekly update — September 7, 2026
+
+  This week's changes shipped in [DEMON](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON), Daydream's real-time AI music generation engine. There were no new [Scope releases](https://github.com/daydreamlive/scope/releases) this week; the latest release remains [v0.2.5](https://github.com/daydreamlive/scope/releases/tag/v0.2.5).
+
+  ### New features
+
+  * **Text-only generation** – Sessions can now generate music from a prompt alone, with no source audio upload. Starting a prompt-only session is faster because the client no longer uploads a silent placeholder clip. ([#342](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON/pull/342))
+  * **In-session loop resize on source swap** – Swapping in a clip with a different length now resizes the session in place. Previously the client reconnected, which played several seconds of silence. ([#338](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON/pull/338))
+  * **Local prompt enhancer and prompt variations** – An optional in-process prompt enhancer runs at roughly a tenth of the hosted latency and needs no API key. A new variations endpoint suggests deterministic nearby prompts, so you can explore around a prompt and return to it losslessly. Both are opt-in and off by default. ([#333](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON/pull/333))
+  * **Sound-aware prompt enhancement** – The prompt enhancer now tells a sound apart from a piece of music. Prompts that name a real-world source, place, or event, such as "thunderstorm", are described as recordings instead of being turned into orchestral arrangements. ([#334](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON/pull/334))
+
+  ### Bug fixes
+
+  * **Loops no longer fade to silence at the end** – Two fixes remove the silent tail at the end of generated loops: the playable loop no longer includes the model's padded outro headroom ([#336](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON/pull/336)), and each loop is now conditioned as a slice of a longer song so the model stops composing a fade-out ending ([#341](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON/pull/341)).
+  * **Clean audio after a source swap** – Swapping the source no longer plays a second or more of the previous source's audio over the new one. ([#335](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON/pull/335))
+  * **Prompt variations now vary** – The variations sampler no longer returns the original prompt verbatim. Every distance now returns a distinct, real-word suggestion. ([#339](https://github.com/daydreamlive/DEMON/pull/339))
