Offline knowledge mode and pinned context: two power-user switches

2026-08-08 · 4 min read

Live retrieval is the right default and the wrong tool for some jobs. Two switches change that.

Offline / frozen mode

Search and page fetching are disabled outright. The model answers from training data plus your pinned material, and refuses anything that depends on information it doesn't hold — naming the live source that would settle it instead of guessing.

Useful for reproducible reasoning tasks, sensitive work, and anywhere retrieval noise is worse than a knowledge gap.

Pinned context

Pin documents, data and your actual situation. Pinned material outranks the model's general knowledge — and when the two conflict, you're told explicitly which one won and why.

This is also what makes advice non-generic: it answers your constraints, not a liability-safe average of everyone's.
