Version 2.36.5 of n8n, released on August 21, 2026, is a focused patch that addresses a single but important issue in the core platform.
The AI Assistant’s model verification step previously had a cap on the number of tokens it could process. This patch increases that cap, making the verification more flexible for different model setups.
For self-hosted users, this means you can more reliably set up and use the AI Assistant with a wider range of models, avoiding false verification errors that could previously block configuration. No other changes are included in this release.
