**Smarter Infrastructure, Greater Control**

* Multiple datacenter support is now native, whether it’s a cluster or a single-node instance.
* Object stores are linked to individual datacenters, enabling efficient storage management.
* Bucket mounting is datacenter specific for better isolation and performance.
* Choose your target datacenter while spawning workstations, microservices , creating datasets and other managed services.
* Launch datacenter specific Plans to optimize workloads per region or deployment strategy.
* Monitor all datacenters in real-time, directly from MicroCloud.
* Gain a complete view of system health GPU, CPU, memory usage, active users, services, and resource availability.

**Gen-AI Workspace, Now Sharper**

* Knowledge Distillation now supports embedded model references and multi-modular datasets including PDFs.
* Reuse running model instances from the Chat Playground for distillation workflows.
* A new organizational dropdown makes reusable model selection fast and intuitive.

\
**Launcher, Now with More Power**

* Deploy reliable/remote clusters directly through the Launcher.
* Seamlessly bring your own clusters EKS or AKS and register them as full-fledged datacenters.
* Once integrated, these datacenters are fully accessible and manageable inside the platform.

**Better UX, Tighter Feedback,  And a Bug Bounty to the team!**

* Fixed service creation issues with additional port configurations during microservice edits.
* Smoothed out form validations for a cleaner interaction.
* Improved popup notifications for instant clarity.
* Plans now have visibility control share them as public, private, or organization-specific.

**SDK, Enhanced for Gen-AI Workflows**

* The Gen-AI Toolkit supports seamless text generation using pretrained models.
* Built-in SDK utilities allow retrieval of historical chat data from object storage for smoother session management.

**Bugs**

* Extra ports added via the *edit* feature don’t create a Service, but ports defined during microservice deployment do.
* Pop-up alerts for unfilled form fields improve user experience.
* Private plans can be set as *Public*, *Private*, or *Organization-only*, giving users flexible privacy controls.

**Knowledge Distillation in Gen-AI Workspace**

* Our most significant addition this release is the Gen-AI Workspace featuring Knowledge Distillation:
  * Automatically extracts key insights by generating question-answer pairs from uploaded documents
  * Computes and stores vector embeddings for intelligent document interactions
  * Enables fast, context-aware AI responses across large knowledge bases
  * This workspace lays the foundation for next-level productivity and intelligent automation.
* Secure API Key Management (for Gen-AI Workspace)- (The Gen-AI Key)
  * To enable secure and flexible use of Gen-AI Workspace features — both internally and through SDKs or external access:
    * API keys can now be generated, validated, and revoked directly from the credentials tab
    * Built-in checks for expiry, revocation, and hash-based validation
    * Each key is linked to a user and tracked via audit logs for accountability

**SDK improvement**

* We have integrated API key authentication into our SDK and we have also implemented Chat interactions as mentioned below
  * API Key based Authentication
  * Completion API integration
  * LLM pretrained models list
  * LLM Chat integration: Only getting anserwrs to a question. No history of chats

**Monitoring Enhancements**

* Pod-Level GPU Monitoring
  * View real-time GPU metrics at the pod level for detailed usage insights
* Storage Monitoring & Alerts
  * Track storage consumption with alerting support for high-availability environments

**UI Improvements (Dark Mode Compatibility)**

* Dark mode visibility issues have been addressed across:
  * Checkboxes, inputs, selects, and form elements
  * Header, documentation icons and section labels

**Infrastructure & Reliability Updates**

* Improved system stability and compatibility across deployment environments
* Better performance and flexibility for managing object storage and file operations

**Bug Fixes**

* Resolved multi-GPU training issues for large model fine-tuning
* Numerous improvements across logging, environment validation, and file handling
* Support tickets answered at a high priority and resolved as requested.
