Added

August 30, 2023

OctoAI made several additions including: Llama 2 70B model, real-time streaming capabilities to Whisper, and updated the domain for newly created endpoints.

  • Added Llama2 70B quickstart template endpoint. We can also host custom Llama2 LoRAs/ checkpoints.

  • Enabled users to upload data via URL in the authoring experience (CLI + Python SDK)

  • Added real-time streaming capabilities to our Whisper audio flow, with a React hook called use Whisper for ease of integration into web/mobile apps. Learn more about this change.

  • Changed the domain for all newly created endpoints from octoai.cloud to octoai.run Existing endpoints on octoai.cloud will still work, but we suggest that you start changing your code to call endpoints from octoai.run instead of octoai.cloud, since we’ll also update existing endpoints in about a month.

Improved

August 16, 2023

There were some new additions to our docs about Image Generation, some improvements in the backend, and a faster version of Stable Diffusion 1.5.

  • Added a new section in our Docs on Image Generation, including how to fine-tune and use Stable Diffusion.

  • Reduced cold start substantially on endpoints created with our authoring experience (can be multiple minutes of improvement depending on the model). Upgrade to the latest version of the CLI and SDK and author new endpoints to get faster cold start for your custom models.

  • Improved error boundaries in the UI. Users would be less likely to run into the “Whoops Beta Mode engaged” message in the UI.

  • Enabled concurrency handling improvements to all new endpoints created from now on. We will also be gradually rolling out this change on previously created endpoints in upcoming weeks.

  • A faster version of SD XL with dimension 1024x1024 is now available under private preview. We’d be gradually rolling out this new version over the next week or so.

  • Reminder: OctoAI’s quickstart template endpoints are for demo/testing purposes only. On these endpoints, we rate-limit to 15 inferences per hour. If you would like to exceed this limit for production use, please clone the endpoint to your own account.

Added

August 10, 2023

There have been some additions to the OctoAI platform: Stable Diffusion 1.5 template feature additions, Whisper feature additions, and private registry updates.

  • Whisper Template Feature Additions: Multi-hour long audio files are now supported. Furthermore, you can specify a URL to the audio input file (e.g. MP3, WAV, or MP4 formats), instead of uploading a file from your local environment.
  • Private Registry: OctoAI’s container authoring experience has been upgraded. Users are no longer required to provide registry credentials to get started. Images can be uploaded directly to a private OctoAI Registry. User uploaded images to OctoAI’s Registry are accessible only to you and OctoAI services i.e. no other user can view or access your images.
  • Stable Diffusion 1.5 Template Feature Additions: OctoAI’s Stable Diffusion endpoint, running on A10Gs, has been upgraded to include the following features to help users customize styling and achieve higher-quality images:
    • Popular Checkpoints like DreamShaper and Realistic Vision, Low Rank Adaptations (LoRAs), and Textual Inversions. Note: LoRA weights must sum up to 1.
    • Additional image dimensions.
    • We updated the web user interface.
