1/ I am excited to announce the new Playground: Design graphics like a Pro. You can make T-shirts, Logos, Social Media Posts, and even invent new kinds of memes.

Powered by our next image foundation model Playground v3 (beta).

Go to playground.\com. No wait list.

@glcst @penberg Reminds me the very cross discipline work that @displague and @thebsdbox led for us back in the day. Really a key part of the product experience to get right!

[Jacob Smith @JacobSmith928]

Best feature regression yet!

Talos is no longer a supported Operating System on Equinix Metal - there's a better way to do it!

@grhmc @rawkode @nixos_org @ProgrammerDude @Bashfulrobot You know a guy? ;)

[Jacob Smith @JacobSmith928]

@jimmyzelinskie Wonder what the folks @FrameableInc think about such dark magic?

[Jacob Smith @JacobSmith928]

@rawkode Anything we can help with David?

1/ We're excited that our friends at @perplexity_ai are using Playground v2.5 to let Perplexity Pro users make unique images on the fly to illustrate their searches.

As we enhance our models, we're excited about the opportunity to integrate visuals with text to make it easier to follow your curiosity, because a picture speaks a thousand words.

The waitlist is no more! Fly GPUs are now generally available. Learn more here: https://t.co/1OSvQE5b2H

@bcantrill @InvestLikeBest @sdtuck @zsmithnyc Roger that, and right there with ya. I was less interested in Etched (although kudos for swinging big!) than the thesis that specialized hardware + software + workloads will be so inclusive and broad. Exciting times for boring infrastructure, indeed.

[Jacob Smith @JacobSmith928]

@bcantrill @InvestLikeBest @sdtuck I’ll be interested in your thoughts after you listen, especially from about 20 minutes in. @zsmithnyc and I had a spirited chat about the whole “custom silicon, paired with custom infra / datacenters, built for a specific model” thing.

[Jacob Smith @JacobSmith928]

@grhmc Wow, lovely!!

[Zoë, with the ë, try me with the y BS @zphillyspecial]

We’ve started our second Demo Day! Let’s gooo @equinixmetal team 💥

@grhmc It works for me! Of course I have a lot less meetings these days… ;)

[Alex Ellis @alexellisuk]

A few of you asked me how I managed to "slice" up a bare-metal machine into a 60 node K3s cluster.

Here's 4x slides explaining the problem/solution and a demo of the "slicer" in action with Firecracker

[Alex Ellis @alexellisuk]

On today's @openfaas community call, I'll be showing a 110 node K3s cluster running across 4x m3.large.x86 from @equinixmetal using Firecracker

There's 5 HA server VMs, the rest are worker VMs

The goal will be to deploy over 10k distinct functions

[Glauber Costa @glcst]

I just came across a great tutorial on how to deploy @tursodatabase to @gokoyeb:

https://t.co/hq8NmemQ86

I love how most of the tutorial is just really writing the application. Deploying to Koyeb itself is just a couple of lines
