1. Network Development

Completed Features:

  1. API KEY [API PREFERENCE] [GET YOUR API KEY]

    • Users can create their own API key on the settings page and name it accordingly.
    • The domain can recognize whether the API key exists, but it does not perform request interception.
    • Update the documentation and website regarding API call examples, adding examples of how to use API keys.
    • Prepare a system notification to remind users to use API keys when making API calls, to be sent out after the system goes live.

  2. Free API credits for developer

    • We provide a feature for developers to apply for free credits, which allows them to access specific domains offered by Gaia. Note that once a free developer account is created, it will not be eligible to participate in community reward activities, and the generated throughputs will not be counted towards scoring points. If developers want to participate in community reward activities, they need to register a new wallet account.
    1. Gaia Domain for developer API request.
    • After applying for free credits, the developer can only access the Gaia Domain through API and cannot earn score rewards from their free API credits usage.

Feedback/Q&A

  1. Alaa - Danielle Do you think it would be useful for LLM libraries to include recommended GPU/hardware specs for running models smoothly? Additionally, should there be a classification of modalities (e.g., text, audio, code, images, multimodal) to help users understand the model's capabilities?
  2. 33Audits & dOrg, smart contracts (Carlos)
  3. Gui - follow-up on RLY integration mobile vs web, team vs solo
  4. Gui - needs the new updated GUI for chatbot experience (old one is gone, new brand)

August 8, 2024

Gaianet Node

What we have done

  1. Released Node version 2.5
  • Upgrade the llama.cpp version to b 3463
  • Fix the illegal instruction error (Addressing this critical issue enhances the node's reliability and prevents unexpected crashes, providing a smoother user experience)
  • Important note: there was a conflict between the llama.cpp and the phi-3 models
  • Release note: https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases
  • By incorporating the latest version of llama.cpp, the foundation of many LLMs, Gaianet benefits from enhanced performance, bug fixes, and potential new features offered by the updated library, directly improving the quality of AI interactions
  1. New LLM support
  1. Integration with Llamatutor and Llama Coder
  1. Support creating embeddings from a CSV file.
  1. Update the public nodes

GaiaNet Portal

(https://www.gaianet.ai/chat)

What we have done

  • When creating a new conversation, do not retrieve information from the Node API to speed up the creation process.
  • When deleting a conversation, clear the corresponding chat history.
  • When the LLM response is incomplete, users are prevented from switching nodes.
  • When a user has not created a new conversation, add a "New Chat" button on the guide page to make creating a new session easier.

Feedback

  • introduce GUI for faster adoption, choose the base model, add domain specific app, move into a stage
  • next steps: create bounty for this GUI request, take Docker example, if core (Nov timeline), work with Cookbook.dev faster, more seamless GTM.

https://console.akash.network/ The “one click deploy” is important, and it’s what made Heroku popular. Akash was very difficult to deploy via CLI, and once there was a UI it was much easier and more popular.

The “one click deploy” is important, and it’s what made Heroku popular. Switching from CLI to UI will increase the number of node runners.

  • discuss with Dabl Club on Core Eng IRL meetup
