# January 2026 Release

**Release Type:** First Public Preview Release

**Release Version:** v0.1.0

***

## GPU AI Service

### New Features

**On demand GPU compute**

Launch GPU instances when you need them and shut them down when your work is done. This helps you control cost while running training, fine tuning, or batch workloads.

**Multiple GPU options**

Choose from supported GPU types designed for AI and machine learning workloads. Each option is optimized for high performance compute tasks.

**AI Templates**

Each AI template launches within seconds, pre-configured with GPU drivers, CUDA libraries, notebooks, and web/ssh access - so engineers can immediately start training, fine-tuning, or serving models without touching the underlying infrastructure.

**Fast and simple provisioning**

Create GPU instances in a few steps without complex configuration. The platform handles the setup so you can start working quickly.

**Secure access**

Access GPU instances using SSH keys to ensure secure and controlled login.

**Persistent Storage support**

Attach persistent storage during GPU creation so your data is retained even if the GPU instance is deleted.

**Usage based billing**

You are billed only for the time your GPU is running, helping reduce unnecessary spend.

### Known Issues

* Payments are currently processed in USD, while the UI displays approximate amounts in local currencies. Expanded local currency support is planned for upcoming releases.
* Users can currently remove themselves from an organization without administrator approval.
* Users are charged from the time a deployment is created, not when it reaches the running state.
* For OAuth users with only a first name, the last name is shown as "Last" in the UI.
* GPU startup time may vary based on region and availability.
* Detailed GPU health and performance telemetry is currently limited.
* GPU resizing and live migration are not supported.

## AI Inference

### Model API

#### New Features

**Instant model endpoints**

Select a supported model and instantly get an API endpoint without managing infrastructure or deployments.

**No setup required**

There is no need to configure servers, containers, or scaling. The platform handles everything automatically.

**Pay per request**

Inference is billed based on actual usage, so you only pay for the requests you make.

**Secure API access**

Each endpoint is protected with API keys to control access and usage.

### Known Issues

* The model catalog is limited in the first release
* Uploading custom models is not supported yet

***

### Model Playground

#### New Features

**Browser based model testing**

Test models directly from the web interface without writing any code.

**Real time prompt experimentation**

Change prompts and parameters and see responses immediately to understand model behavior.

**Quick exploration**

Use the playground to evaluate models before integrating them into your application.

### Known Issues

* Advanced tuning options are not available
* Playground sessions cannot be saved or shared
* Streaming is not supported in Playground

***

## Storage

### New Features

**Persistent block storage**

Create storage volumes that can be attached to GPU instances for datasets, checkpoints, and results.

**Attach during GPU creation**

Storage can be added while launching a GPU instance to ensure data persistence from the start.

**Data durability**

Data remains available even if the GPU instance is deleted, reducing the risk of data loss.

**Simple pricing model**

Storage is priced based on the amount of space used, making costs easy to understand.

### Known Issues

* Storage size cannot be changed after creation

***

## Platform Features

### New Features

**Refer & Earn**

Refer new users and earn credits. Credits can be used for GPU, inference, and storage usage. Referrals are tracked automatically.

**Support**

In-app support for product and billing questions. Dedicated support to help users get started.
