Changelog

User-facing changes to self-hosted CosmicAC, by release.

New features, improvements, and fixes across self-hosted CosmicAC, with the newest release first. This changelog follows Keep a Changelog, and CosmicAC follows Semantic Versioning.

1.1.0 - 2026-09-02

Adds multi-node Managed Inference to both clients, an observability aggregator that CosmicAC now runs as part of the deployment, and job logs and metrics history in the web interface. One change is breaking. --api-key no longer accepts a value.

Platform

Web

Added

  • Serve a Managed Inference model across two nodes with a 16-GPU count
  • Read live and historical job logs, with time windows, search, and download
  • View job metrics history as charts on a job page
  • Run a health check on a Managed Inference endpoint from the Model Health page
  • Set up job notifications, preview the payload, and review recent deliveries
  • Connect CosmicAC to your Prometheus and Loki from an observability settings tab

Changed

  • Location moved from Basics to the Hardware step, where it filters the GPU list
  • Creating a job became a sequence of sections rather than one form

CLI

Added

  • Serve a Managed Inference model across two nodes with a 16-GPU count
  • See a reasoning model's thinking in inference chat, and hide it with --disable-think
  • Set how much effort a reasoning model spends with --reasoning-effort
  • Choose which lifecycle events a job reports with --notify
  • Set a lookback window on models healthcheck with --period
  • See per-GPU resource specifications and replica node names in jobs detail
  • Set a connection timeout on jobs shell with --timeout

Changed

  • cosmicac config set replaces admin config set, and needs no administrator credentials

Removed

  • API keys as a command-line value, since --api-key takes no value

API

Added

  • Send chat_template_kwargs and reasoning_effort on a chat completion, and read the model's thinking in the response
  • Read and write observability settings
  • Read job-scoped logs
  • Read the per-replica GPU count and the replica count on job responses

Deployment

Added

  • Run the observability aggregator as part of the deployment
  • Pull root disk images to cluster nodes ahead of time with a DaemonSet

Removed

  • The built-in log store, replaced by Loki

1.0.1 - 2026-07-17

Stabilisation and completion release following the initial version. Adds Parakeet speech-to-text serving and endpoint health monitoring, and fixes job-list reliability issues found in early operation.

Known limitation. In 1.0.1, CosmicAC includes no observability stack. Model Health metrics cover only Managed Inference endpoints, and CosmicAC provides no charting, alerting, or export. CosmicAC collects only job logs, and log collection is off by default. You install and operate any observability stack you need, such as Prometheus or Loki.

Platform

Web

Added

  • Deploy and manage Parakeet speech-to-text endpoints through Managed Inference
  • Track Managed Inference endpoint health, latency, and per-replica status from the Model Health page
  • Replica overview shown separately from metrics statistics on job pages
  • Diagnostic bundle collection when submitting feedback

Fixed

  • Job list sorting failed with more than 10 jobs and the last job wasn't displayed
  • Job statuses now update automatically without refreshing the page
  • Failed replicas reported a generic "VMI failed" message instead of the real failure cause

CLI

Added

  • Transcribe audio with a Parakeet endpoint

API

Added

  • Transcribe audio to text through a Parakeet endpoint

Deployment

Added

  • Installation guide for adding model master data to an instance
  • Improved seeding of model master data for supported models

1.0.0 - 2026-06-26

Initial release of self-hosted CosmicAC. This entry captures the user-facing capabilities available across the platform and its deployment tooling at 1.0.0.

Platform

Web

Added

  • Create and manage GPU Container Jobs from the web interface
  • Create and manage Managed Inference Jobs serving vLLM chat models from the web interface
  • Create and manage inference API keys from the web interface
  • Submit feedback locally with optional webhook delivery

CLI

Added

  • Create, list, inspect, restart, and delete GPU Container and Managed Inference Jobs
  • Open an interactive shell into a running GPU Container Job
  • Chat with a Managed Inference endpoint using streaming responses and multimodal text and video input
  • List deployed models and check endpoint health
  • Create, manage, and track usage of inference API keys
  • Register and manage racks and configure the environment as an administrator
  • Connect the CLI to your active deployment

API

Added

  • Send chat completions to a Managed Inference endpoint over an OpenAI-compatible API

Deployment

Added

  • Deploy the entire self-hosted CosmicAC stack with a single bootstrap command
  • Set up model masters to control the models CosmicAC serves and their default parameters
  • Upgrade a running deployment to a new image release
